Oh, Canada
There's one table along the rail of the black section that stands out as being particularly tough right now. And particularly Canadian, as well.
Daniel Negreanu is in the one seat over there, and Jonathan Duhamel is in the three. The six seat belongs to Gavin Smith, and Terrence Chan is on his direct left to fill out the Canadian Quartet. The first three names there are, in that order, Canada's top three all-time money earners in poker tournaments. They've combined for just shy of $30 million in career cashouts. Chan is also in the Top 50 on that list with just less than $1 million in tournament winnings.
It's probably just as well Josh Brikis left the Penguins jersey at home today, because he's got a rowdy bunch of Canadians keeping him company on the felt today.
