"Daniel is currently in Atlantic City from October 4th through 8th playing in the US Poker Championships. From the 8th through the 12th, he'll be visiting Toronto and may make an appearance at Casino Rama, and possibly Port Perry or Brantford."

Anyone have any more info about this?

    that's huge news in my opinion.

    thanks for letting us know. maybe they'll open up some high limit table for him to play.
  • azimkazimk
    He posted in RGP that he would be here from the 6th to the 12th and was planning a trip to Port Perry. He is also going to be doing Breakfast TV.

    Thanks

    would love to know when he goes to port perry ... i'll happily be a rail bird that day

    I emailed Daniel 2 weeks ago and asked him if he is ever going to come to Canada to play. Although his email was a quick reply I thought it was pretty awesome that he even emailed back. I copied his reply below:


    "I doubt it. Unless of course the WPT holds an event there. The events are just too small to make the trip worth it."

    Daniel has said that he will go to Port Perry tomorrow (friday) and he will be on breakfast TV on the 12th.

    Thanks

    I am trying my hardest to get him on a TV show that some of you know I work on. I just emailed the producers, so obviously there is no guarantee at all as I haven't even heard back from them yet, but that would be very, very cool. He'd be a great guest. I'll let you know if I succeed... it's pretty short notice.

    Cheers,

    Hey aces!

    I notice from a certain TV show's website that Daniel Negreanu will be a guest on Monday.

    Congrats on the coup!!

    macbb :canada:

    P.S. I'll look forward to this for a few reasons, one of which is my friend Mike Wilner from The Fan 590 looks like he will also be a guest on the same show. I know Mike from my mlb.com duties at SkyDome.

    Why is everyone all hush-hush about what show he'll be on?

    Well, I'm not telling either then. ;)

    Oh, c'moooon... I'm dying to know! Is it the New Degrassi?
    Tell us what show it is!
    Right now!

  • ChugsChugs
    what tv show?
  • TilterTilter
    Off the Record with Michael Lansberg on TSN!! Wish I had TV :(
  • UnknownUnknown
    Lol Scotty I didn't want to say 'Daniel will be on OTR' without knowing for sure. I felt much better saying 'Daniel will be on that show I work on'... ;)

    You know what sucks? I won't be there. I took work elsewhere for that day, long before I knew that Daniel would be in Toronto. Oh well, I'll watch it at home, and I'll get someone to ask him to sign my cover of CPP. Too bad I won't actually get to meet him though, especially after I went to all the trouble of hooking the producers up with him in the first place!

    :banghead:

  • PiggaPigga
    do you know when they might be actually airing that episode of OTR or is it actually on the day of?
  • UnknownUnknown
    Day of, and next day. Each episode runs three times... 6:00 pm EST on Monday, 3:00 am EST Tuesday morning, noon EST Tuesday afternoon, all on TSN.
  • PiggaPigga
    thanks for the quick response, gotta make sure i get off work early on monday then :D
  • ScottyZScottyZ
    Too bad you won't be there All_aces. You could have played him some heads-up for donuts during the coffee breaks. :cool:
    Lol Scotty I didn't want to say 'Daniel will be on OTR'...

    Yeah... that might have been poor marketing if they *didn't* end up getting him. Nice to hear that he will be on though. And great timing for TSN with them airing a bunch of the 2004 WSOP coverage this week & next week.

    Glad you let us off the hook and now we know. I never would have figured out what show it was...
    Oh, c'moooon... I'm dying to know! Is it the New Degrassi?
    Tell us what show it is!
    Right now!

    ;)

  • ChugsChugs
    So is anyone planning on going to port perry, to play against him ...

    I'm thinking Dick Hertz should be nominated, he is the reigning champion at Great Blue

    ROFL. I have to admit, I didn't catch that the first time around Scotty... you are much too subtle for me. :D Speaking of subtlety, on an entirely different note, I've been reading some of the Isaac Asimov 'Foundation' books, and there are a lot of great one-liners that I apply directly to poker. My lastest favourite:

    "It pays to be obvious, especially when you have a reputation for subtlety".

    Maybe I'll change my signature.

    I misread scottyz's "Board" all together haha
    nice one
  • ScottyZScottyZ
    ...you are much too subtle for me.

    LOL

    Too subtle! Did! you see! how many! exclamation!! points I! used!

    ;)

    ScottyZ!
  • UnknownUnknown
    I admit I did think that was unusual for you. Very Hellmuth-esque. I just thought that maybe you'd had too much sugar today. :)
  • azimkazimk
    I just got back from drinks with Negreanu. What a cool guy. Down to earth and genuinely a nice guy.

    Sorry all_aces, I thought we were meeting early but he called me at 10.30pm and said 'I'll meet you in 15 minutes'. I figured it may have been too late to call you, but he said he will send you a signed picture.

    Thanks
    TPR
  • UnknownUnknown
    10:30 pm is too late??? I'm a poker player! I go to sleep at 4:00 am! ;)

    No worries Azim, thanks for thinking of me. I'm glad that your meeting went well, ya lucky bastard.

    Cheers,
    all_aces
