Daniel Negreanu is in Canada livestreaming the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online Bracelet Series on GGPoker, and his first day ended quicker than he'd hoped following a possible slowroll.

The Poker Hall of Famer and GGPoker ambassador entered the $5,000 WSOP Online Main Event, a no-limit hold'em tournament with $25 million guaranteed, on Friday. He took his shot at a Day 1 flight in hopes of spinning up a stack and chasing his eighth bracelet. But his attempt came to an abrupt conclusion when he picked the wrong time to move all in.

Was it a Slowroll?

A little over two hours into the stream, on Level 6, 113 of the 156 players who'd entered the session to that point remained. Negreanu, who ended an 11-year bracelet drought this summer when he took down the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, had 65.4 big blinds.

Action began with "TCCWang" raising from a middle position to 2.3 big blinds. Negreanu called in late position with 9♠9♦, as did "Be Myself" on the button and "joyeux" in the small blind. "Erlango," the second biggest stack at the table with 115 big blinds, three-bet it to 16.5 big blinds.

"What's happening here? We got a squeeze?" Negreanu pondered while the original preflop raiser folded. "Big blind squeezed. This is the same guy who did that with king-queen earlier. I'm just going to jam."

Negreanu did move all in, which forced the button and small blind to fold. "Erlango," who booked a seventh place finish for $86,108 in the $300 Gladiators of Poker event earlier in the series, then went into the tank for a bit.

"He's tanking, that's good, unless he's slowrolling us," Negreanu told his audience while his opponent pondered a decision.

As it turned out, the bigger stack was either slowrolling the poker legend or was preoccupied with something else. But a call was eventually made with K♦K♣.

"What did you tank for?" Negreanu laughed. "He slowrolled me."

The flop came out 5♣10♦6♣, no help to the 50-year-old "Kid Poker." But the 9♣on the turn gave Negreanu a set, putting him way out in front ... until the J♣on the river gave "Erlango" a winning flush.

Negreanu was eliminated long before the Day 1 session concluded. He ended the stream after that hand for the day but will be back in action from Vancouver on Saturday hoping to take another crack at his eighth World Series of Poker bracelet.
