WSOPE Final Table: Dramatic Heads-Up Between Schulman and Negreanu


The WSOPE final table was the stage for an intense and dramatic heads-up match between Barry Schulman and Daniel Negreanu. The video of this epic encounter, uploaded to TheNutz.tv, has since been removed, but the details of the game remain etched in the memories of those who witnessed it.

Daniel Negreanu lost an all-in with Ax Ax against Barry Schulman's flush draw. Negreanu tried to regain his advantage for several hours after the loss. Negreanu's lead was almost two million chips before a crucial hand. On a flop of 5d 8d Jc, Schulman bet 300,000 and Negreanu raised to 900,000. Negreanu called Schulman's all-in with Qc Jd against Schulman's As Ah. The turn card was Jh, and the river was Ad, securing Schulman's win. In the next hand, Negreanu went all-in with 4s 4d against Schulman's Ts Tc.

After two such hands, Negreanu reflected, 'After two such hands, you can start to hate poker.' The video, which captured the atmosphere of the intense match, is no longer available on TheNutz.tv or YouTube, leaving fans to rely on the vivid descriptions of the event.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
