Imagine you are a guy who plays penny-ante poker. You face your toughest competition while you visit the pub to play along with your friends. You've got an afternoon job that takes up most of your time.

Now...imagine you're that very same guy and also you end up playing against the world's best with big money at the line.

That's Dan Jones' story.

I found Dan Jones at an eu Poker Tour stop. He'd gotten up early one morning to hunt the recommendation of Daniel Negreanu on tips on how to play a large money poker tournament for the primary time. Afterward, I asked Jones if I MAY follow him as he tried to position Negreanu's advice to the test.

Neither people had any idea what we were getting ourselves into or that the tale would eventually involve considered one of poker's fiercest players, Fedor Holz.

What happened? Well, grab something to drink, placed on your headphones, and chill for the following 17 minutes as you ride along on Dan Jones' journey throughout the world of high stakes poker.
