Daniel Negreanu leaves Pokerstars – Launches WSOP Vlog and sells his WSOP action so fast that the site crashed!

Daniel Negreanu leaves PokerStars!

Daniel Negreanu is used to being headline news but this week he outdid himself – two of the biggest stories of the week featuring KidPoker as he announced his split with PokerStars and then sold out his WSOP offer in mere minutes…


 

Negreanu and PokerStars have been an item for as long as many poker fans can remember – a 12 year partnership that has seen equal measures great times and controversy. His time as an ambassador is now over, recently-married DNegs taking to Twitter to share the news.

“It was a great run but we are no longer going to be an ambassador for the company”

Describing his relationship with the red spade site as an “incredible run”, Negreanu explained “My life is taking on a new direction …gonna have some babies, get the grind up for the World Series”.

Then came the news, not exactly shocking, but the timing perhaps surprising: “It was a great run but we are no longer going to be an ambassador for the company…”

Negreanu spoke of “the opportunity to travel the world” that PokerStars gave him, naming Barcelona, Monte Carlo and the PCA… three of my favourite stops…” among the highlights.

An amicable split it seems, and naturally there was no mention of his recent un-ambassadorlike behaviour involving very public fallouts, nor of the SNE debacle or ‘More rake is Better’ controversies. These, for many fans of the game, had changed their opinion of Kid Poker.

Negreanu’s fanbase is still massive, of course, and that was reflected in the next big headline of the week – selling his WSOP action publically to everyone:

His WSOP staking packages sold out within 30 minutes so quickly that the site crashed!

Thousands of disappointed Negreanu fans, but the Canadian was quick to offer a solution, Daniel genuinely pained for what should have been the chance of a lifetime for so many…

Daniel Negreanu WSOP Vlogs are back!

If marriage to his sweetheart Amanda Leatherman, leaving his job and the trials and tribulations of a massive WSOP promotion weren’t enough, KidPoker had another ace up his sleeve…

His World Series of Poker vlogs have been addictive watching over the past few years, a personal insight into how the world’s most famous poker player deals with a summer series of huge tournaments.

The daily Negreanu WSOP news kicks off this Thursday and will hopefully survive the mass of hits it will doubtless receive.

This time last year the Vlogs sparked rumours that his long-term relationship with Marisa Rodney was at end, Negreanu soon confirming it…

…but a year is a long time in poker, and we’ll likely be seeing some cameo appearances at least from his new wife Amanda Leatherman as Negreanu grinds out more than a $million of WSOP events.

So, a busy time in every way for the Canadian – and summer hasn’t even started yet. The big question is…what will his next big headline be?
