Daniel Negreanu: Poker Coach
![[user265690]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
You'll usually find Daniel Negreanu playing in the biggest buy-in events on the planet. The Canadian superstar is number one on the all-time money list, in part thanks to the $8,288,001 he won when he finished second in the Big One for One Drop in Las Vegas on 2014.
However, with the 2016 edition being for recreational players only, Negreanu��s route into the tournament has come via the coaching side. Each player is allowed to appoint a coach if they so wish and Negreanu is the wingman of none other than Guy Lalibert��. So how did it come about then? ��He approached me about a month ago,�� Negreanu told PokerNews during a break in play. ��I thought it sounded like fun and I wanted to support a great cause.��
During the course of play, players are allowed to consult their coaches whenever they like as long as they don��t have a live hand but the coaching between Negreanu and Lalibert�� started earlier than the shuffle up and deal. ��I got here a few days early, we��ve been hanging out on his yacht and going through a few things.��
While those pointers may not have paid dividends on Lalibert����s first bullet, he��s confident in Lalibert����s abilities. ��He��s more relaxed now, he��s cooled off a bit and so I��m going to let him come to me when he wants to,�� said Negreanu.
