The $50K Player's Championship begins this evening and there are a couple changes this year that are likely to make the field smaller.It isn't being filmed for TV by ESPN which means that the entire tournament including the final table will be 8-Game where for the past few years the final table was NL Holdem to make it better for the TV coverage.Daniel has put the over/under at about 93.Updates will be available from Poker News and Daniel will be sending his usual updates via Twitter.Good Luck Danielhttps://twitter.com/...!/RealKidPoker/http://www.pokernews...s-championship/Daniel's Twitter UpdatesDaniel Negreanu‏@RealKidPokerMy 50k Players Championship table so far: Bretty Richey David Baker Eugene Katchalov Shawn Buchanen David Benyamine and me.

Sorry Daniel, but I have to cheer for my pick in your category, Jason Mercier, and Victor Blom from my other picks. Dan Kelly is looking good also.

so Grinder winning this thing twice. Where does that rank all time?

[UnluKKy]

he cold decked Andy 3-handed in PLO (Grinder had KKXX vs Bloch's QQXX on a K2Q2X board.)then got smashed in the face with the deck heads up. Klodnicki had no shot.
