Hi poker players of the world. It’s been a long time since I showed you a poker fragment so I guess this is the perfect timing for it. Certainly since I found a new favorite poker show on TV to watch: PokerStars the BIG Game!

Positive aspect of the episodes I saw till now is that one my favorite players, Daniel Negreanu, is playing in every episode. The concept is simple: five poker pro’s playing against an amateur, the so called ‘loose cannon’, who can qualify for the show by playing poker online. He’s stacked with 100.000 $ and gets to keep whatever he wins above that amount. In this episode, the loose cannon is Will Davis, an ‘aspiring poker pro’. But I’m already looking forward to the next episodes because this guy is VERY annoying. First of all he looks like an improved version of Bill Gates and he lacks all social capabilities to raise the level of the show. He’s not an aggressive person or something, he just tries too much to become popular with guys like Brunson and Negreanu by saying all this bollocks and poker clichés. Not everybody who can download poker should be allowed to play it on tv.

But what I want to talk about here is a hand of Negreanu against David Williams. It’s a very special hand because Daniel is again facing a lot of bad beats in this show (why is this guy ALWAYS so unlucky on TV???). For example, he flopped a flush earlier against the nut flush of Williams. But then, things finally seem to succeed for him:

The perfect card for Daniel on the turn! This of course sucks for Williams (who played some awesome poker earlier on in the episode) but it feels like kinda justice after everything Daniel had to face. Would have been nicer if he would have crushed the Kings of Will Davis…
