Side-Bet Action
Level 9
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu has the pen and paper out as six players have started a side bet on the $50,000 Main Event finale of the US Poker Open. Along with himself, Adrian Mateos, Rainer Kempe, Benjamin Pollak, Bryn Kenney, and Jake Schindler are in the middle of picking a three-player fantasy team.
In a snake drafting order, they will each pick three players. It will be a winner-take-all format with each player putting up $15,000. The winner will be decided by whichever team collects the most money in Event #8, kicking off tomorrow. Pollak got the action started by picking himself with another 15 players yet to be determined.
