Dan Negreanu’s mom passes away
I am very sad to report that Dan Negreanu lost his mom this past Monday. My heart goes out to Dan and his family. I remember his mom to be the bubbly one that brought him home cooked food to the poker table. She seemed like a very happy and energetic person. I understand that she suffered a stroke and mild heart attack earlier this year and has been hospitalized since. Hang in there Dan. You have our condolences.

Happy Holidays!
I hope everyone has a very safe and happy holiday this week. I am going to relax a little, enjoy my family and enjoy the festivities. Have a happy holiday! Curtis III AKA “Curtom” Social Bookmarking
