GGPoker is generating some serious numbers online. Its WSOP Online GGMillion$ High Rollers event boasted a $10 million guarantee, and that was smashed, with 1,433 entries generating a $14,330,000 prize pool and almost $2 million up top.
Daniel Negreanu was still in the mix come Day 2 and streamed his action from Vancouver, but was card dead until a late spurt at the end saw him threaten a comeback.
He was down to four big blinds when he picked up 
and doubled against JUGGLER19's 
.
The next hand he got dealt 
and picked up the blinds and antes.
Straight after that, he got 
but picked up a call from Ren Lin with just 6.4 big blinds left. Negreanu guessed he was in trouble and Lin showed 
which improved to a set on the 
flop. Negreanu had a gutshot but couldn't find the jack and was left with 6.5 big blinds.
Down and out: This was not the flop that Negreanu was looking for And Negreanu was out the next hand in 71st spot ($44,185). He shoved with 
and picked up two callers: JUGGLER19 with 
and Chris Nguyen with 
.
"Alright, we're doing fine!" Negreanu said when he saw what he was up against.
That lasted until the 
runout. "Oh god, there's a queen, f**K me, club, club or a king... f**k, not that club, now it's just a king, son of a bitch. That's not it. That's the end of our tournament, that's the end of our streams, that's the end of us. You know what, I might just fly out tonight and do the stream from the comfort of Las Vegas tomorrow. Frustrating day, as you saw. We just didn't get dealt in until the end there, it was card dead central."
