Niveau 6 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Not long ago, Daniel Negreanu had nearly flipped over his tablet after he was eliminated in the WSOP Online Bracelet event. Since then, things have not going smooth for him in this event either and he just jumped out of his seat when facing a bet by Brian Rast.
