Daniel Negreanu Dominates at the PokerStars’ WCOOP

Last Updated on

Daniel Negreanu is one of the best live poker players out there today, but after his recent Pokerstars World Championship of Online Poker, he’s shown that he has more than the ability to be one of the best online poker players as well.  Negreanu has won four World Series of Poker gold bracelets, two World Poker Tour titles, and has a total of 26 final table appearances at the WSOP.  He now has quite an impressive 2011 PokerStars’ WCOOP to put on his resume as well.

Negreanu had one of the best WCOOP’s out of any player, and also in recent history as well.  Negreanu decided to participate in 52 out of the 62 total events, and pulled in an impressive 15 cashes; which makes for a very strong 28.8% cash rate.  Overall, those fifteen cashes were good for a $119,193 payday at the end of the WCOOP.  Negreanu said that his biggest reason for the strong play was his level of preparation.  He also ran a stats program on his computer, and took notes on his opponents’ play during the events.

Another story that is interesting about Negreanu’s strong play, is the fact that he actually played the events from four different countries.  He started out in Barcelona, and moved to Montenegro, Budapest, and London, which tells a major story about how well-focused he was throughout.

Negreanu’s 15 cashes made up the second most out of any player who played the event, and his 28.8% cash rate is nearly double what the other 91 PokerStars Team Pro’s were able to finish at.  Another impressive stat about Negreanu’s 2011 WCOOP was the fact that his two highest finishes came from the two highest buy-in events that he bought into.  Negreanu bought into multiple different events, ranging from No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha, Triple Stud, and an 8 game event as well.  His two highest finishes came in Event #41, which was a $10,300 No Limit Hold’em Event, that he finished in 4th place and took home $48,000; and the other was Event #61, which was a $10,300 buy-in 8 game event, that he finished in 5th place in and took home $52,500.

Negreanu will look to build on this strong WCOOP performance as events like the World Poker Tour continue to host events all around the world.

Daniel Negreanu hosts his very own poker room at Poker Stars for high rollers only. If that sounds like you, then you’re invited. All you need is the proper bankroll and you can play cash poker for the kind of money most players can only hope to encounter in tournament play. Daniel’s Room features cash tables at different stakes – all of them high.

While more games at different stakes may be offered in the future, currently Daniel’s Room hosts No Limit Hold’em only, currently at three different stakes ranges: $20/$40 with a $10 ante, $50/$100 with a $25 ante and $100/$200 with a $50 ante. All tables are 6-handed, with a minimum 100 BB buy-in and a maximum 250 BB buy-in.

Players interested in high stakes poker but currently lacking the bankroll to sit in and play can still observe the action in Daniel’s Room as these tables are open to railbirds. Watch how the high rollers play without having to risk taking a hit for it.

Find Daniel’s Room tables by browsing to the High stakes section of the Hold’em No Limit/Pot Limit tab and looking for the red DR symbol. You can also use the Hold’em Ring Game Filter option labeled “Show Daniel’s Room Only”.
