Super High Roller Bowl: Daniel Negreanu Finishes On Top of Day 1 on PokerGO

Day 1 of the Super High Roller Bowl streamed on PokerGO with everything a poker fan could ask for. Daniel Negreanu leads the 30 remaining players heading into Monday’s Day 2 thanks to a brilliant display performed on the feature table.

The table draw put Negreanu on the feature table next to rival Doug Polk and the two squared off right away. Polk’s words and gestures of attire attempted to get under Negreanu’s skin. Those tricks did not work and instead, Negreanu outmaneuvered Polk in a couple of spots. One such hand included Negreanu picking up a better pair than Polk and then bringing the fight to Polk.

They started at the same table, but @RealKidPoker and @DougPolkPoker are now on different ends of the #SHRBowl leaderboard.

Learn more about Negreanu became so mentally strong by watching INSIDERS on PokerGO. The first-hand look at Super High Roller Bowl preparation focuses on Negreanu and Negreanu’s, in particular, is intense. All three players from INSIDERS made it to Day 2 as Seth Davies and Brandon Adams bagged healthy stacks.

Negreanu and Polk were the early headliners but other lineups in the feature table made waves late on Day 1. None other than Phil Ivey joined the Super High Roller Bowl field last-minute.

Ivey decided to mess around with Nick Petrangelo late in the day. This time, Ivey had the goods and Petrangelo makes an amazing fold to his nemesis for the day to save himself chips for Day 2.

The ? has the best hand, but @npetrang makes an even better fold.
