You know you’re doing something right when you lose and still take home $8.3 million. That’s the enviable situation Toronto-born poker star Daniel Negreanu found himself in last July after being bested by 23-year-old Daniel Colman at a big-stakes event in the World Series of Poker.
That day, Colman won $15.3 million — an enormous sum even for the world of high-rolling poker — at an event where just getting a seat at the table cost $1 million.
By any measure those are mind-blowing figures. For those of us who are used to more modest paydays, it’s almost impossible to conceive how it would feel to stake life-altering amounts of money on a handful of playing cards.
