Dan Smith vs. MJ Gonzalez: High-Stakes Poker Duel in Las Vegas
Dan Smith and MJ Gonzalez, known as 'trainer Negraneau', are in the midst of a high-stakes poker duel in Las Vegas. The two are playing a live $500/$1,000 cash game at Aria, and Smith has already won $88k in three sessions.
Smith explained that they chose not to play with a side bet or agree on a specific number of hands to avoid any strategic advantages. 'Traditional cash format is the best option,' he said.
Despite considering streaming with open cards, Smith and Gonzalez have not found support from Poker Go and are limited to sharing text highlights. MJ Gonzalez shared some of the exciting hands, noting Smith's skill and inviting criticism of his own play.
