The big mixed game over at Bellagio in Las Vegas is still running according to Daniel Negreanu, who has published a new blog update.

All the big names seem to be still in Las Vegas as Negreanu reveals players like Gus Hansen, Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Doyle Brunson and David Oppenheim were all playing in the big game on Saturday night.

According to Negreanu, the big game players were also playing props, and despite booking a nice $50,000 win in the poker game, the Canadian ended up losing a whopping $436,000 playing props:

It was the same old crew of Gus Hansen, Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Doyle Brunson, David Oppenhiem, and a few other stragglers that came and went. As usual, they were playing props, something I haven't done in I can't remember how many years. "Props" is short for proposition bets and they are quite complicated and intricate.



This is essentially juice free gambling for degens and I must say, I really love it! The props typically play bigger than the actual poker game. I ended up playing until 4:30am and winning $50k in the poker game, but losing a whopping $436,000 playing props!



I've put in 99 of the 200 hours I set as a goal this year to play cash at Bellagio and hope to get in a couple more sessions in before I fly to Barcelona. Still down on the year but had back to back wins and feel like my play and stamina is improving with each session.
