So today we spent most of the day going down the lazy river and sipping umbrella drinks, well the GF, I enjoyed the Kaliks. We ate dinner at the Mesa Grill, which was just as good as I remembered from Vegas. While at dinner I gawked at Durrr across the restaurant man I'm a fanboy. But nothing compared to the GF's major crush on Daniel Negreanu. Earlier we went to watch a little of day 1a and spent time watching his table. She swore that they made eye contact and that he winked at her. I told her it was just an eye twitch and that she was nuts. After dinner I wanted to watch a little more of the Main Event, so we grabbed a cocktail and went to the pokerroom. Players were still on dinner break for another 15 minutes so we decided to wait for Daniel while listening to Joe Sebok and Gavin Smith record an episode of pokerroad radio. After acting like stalkers we finally got our chance as Daniel headed in a few minutes early. Heart pounding I walked straight up to him and told him of the GF's crush and asked if he would take a picture. I cannot stress what a gentleman and genuinely nice guy he was. Not only did he pose for a picture he stood and joked with us and let the GF fulfill her dreams by giving him a kiss on the cheek. (see below for pic/vid). While chatting with the legend I told him about her claim that he had winked at her previously during the day. He not only confirmed that he did infact wink at her, but later after play resumed, between hands he gave her a huge wink and yelled across the table and rows of other onlookers asking if I believed that he had winked previously. They even held a quick convo together about what tasty cocktail she was sipping on currently. I have heard about nothing since. I honestly believe if given the chance she would leave me for him in a heart beat. I have never seen her so excited. I seriously cannot stress enough how amazing Daniel was, so down-to-earth, and this was after 8hrs of playing with another 3 ahead.

Well video won't post, damn kids playing tourneys in the lobby, but shortly after it was shot he asked why we were down here and I told him I was playing day 1b tomorrow and he gave me a big pat (more like a slug) on the shoulder and told me not to make a dumb mistake and GL! What a gentleman! GF is in love, I'm a little jealous hahah.
