If you’re a fan of the best TV poker, there’s no doubt that you’re excited about the new episodes of the PokerStars Big Game. Just like other popular cash game shows, six players meet at a Las Vegas poker table to compete for hundreds of thousands of dollars, with cameras on hand to show the folks at home the action from every angle. Five of those seats are taken up by the world’s most famous players and rich whales bringing their hard earned money to play with the best. These are the kinds of players you see mixing it up at the biggest tables on US poker rooms every day.

One seat remains open for the Loose Cannon, a Poker Stars Download qualifier who has had his or her audition tape approved. The man for the job in Week Two was mid-level pro William Davis. All of the Loose Cannons are given $100,000 to play in a $200/$400 Pot Limit Hold ‘em game, with $100 ante on the Button. If the qualifier manages to pick up any profit over their starting stack it is theirs to keep.

Making money isn’t easy at the best of times, but when you’re at the table with top class players, it’s a real uphill struggle. It’s not like grinding through a PokerStars Marketing Code. Sitting alongside Davis were PokerStars talisman Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, David Williams, Abe Mosseri, and Jason Calacanis. The Loose Cannon trained his muzzle on Negreanu in particular. His wife is not a fan of Daniel’s famous table patter and specifically requested that her hubby bust the Canadian pro.

A leading figure in the top texas hold’em sites, Daniel didn’t keep quiet as Week 2 got underway, but he wasn’t such a dominant force in many pots. Most of the profits were heading in Doyle Brunson’s direction. No one doubts that the Godfather of Poker is one of the greatest ever players, but even the most rank amateur would have done well with the stream of great hands he was dealt. In just the first 30 hands, he hit KK, QQ, QQ, 77, and then KK again. If anyone got that run of hands on download free poker sites, there would be cries of “rigged!” One seat to his left, David Williams was also raking in his fair share of pots. The former Bodog player has recently joined the PokerStars Bonus Code sponsored team.

Unfortunately his fortunes wouldn’t last and it would be Daniel Negreanu that orchestrated his undoing. As the last 30 hands of the 150 limit began, the Loose Cannon was still down over $20,000. Not the kind of money you can make up with a PokerStars Rakeback deal. With little time remaining, he’d have to start playing loose and aggressive if wanted to take home any money. With just 10s-4s, he got himself involved in a pot against the Negreanu’s Q-Q and Williams’ KK. Luckily for him, the Ks-Js-3s flop hit him right on the nose and put him firmly in the driving seat. Both Negreanu and Williams called his all-in raise, finally giving the Loose Cannon the chance to bust the Canadian. It wasn’t to be, as the turn laid another spade, giving Daniel the third-nut flush with his Queen of spades. William Davis had very little hope left and could all but kiss goodbye to his $100,000. In the end Daniel scooped the entire pot, sending both the Magic expert and Loose Cannon home without a cent. If you want a chance at busting Negreanu, you can find him regularly playing at the highest stakes in Daniels Room Poker on PokerStars.

In the final reckoning, Daniel had made a profit of over $134,000. The next closest were Doyle Brunson, who was up around $80,000 and Abe Mosseri who accrued an extra $40,100. Jason Calacanis finished down $65,200 and the two remaining players donated their full $100k to the table.
