He certainly throttled the best in the world in 2018. White-hot.

Ivy. All th top players themselves say Ivy. I love Negraneau, but he isn't as skilled in some of the mixed games as Ivy is. Negraneau has gotten kind of spanked in some of the big cash live series, but I love his game.
In cash, I think it's Ivy and Patrik Antonius.
I played at the same table with Antonius in 2007 at the Aussie Millions for a full day...14 hours. That same table had Marc Karum, Lee Nelson (who won it the year before and wrote the book "Kill Phil Poker" and late Russ Botaright (Hendenmob). It was a ridiculously skilled table and Antonius dominated it like he was playing with school kids. At the time I really kind of hated the guy, but he is actually a super nice guy and it was getting my ass kicked that I hated. (I did manage to limp into the $$...barely)
Now my favorite player is...Antonius. I learned a lot from that beating.

Probably, the best player in the world would be the one that was voted on by the Top 100 players category every year.
No arguing Negraneau.....who is more cerebral. Who also is able to switch strategies better? Who has more fun and can get under the skin of younger Millenials who hate talking? Negraneau will be in the discussion for a very long time!

He started playing on the street scene in Toronto which evolved into sponsored games in the area. Its scary to think I might be sitting at a live table with him one day if he comes back to his hometown where there is a rumour of a majory poker room and casino being built with the governments help in the general area he started. Rumour has it, Negraneau has been contacted and I am not surprised but I doubt he leaves Vegas...

Hey.
For me, all players having a good win are poker number one. At the same time, do not create idols from poker idols, they are the same simple people who are mortal like everyone else. I hope God will give me the opportunity to win a major tournament, and realize their dreams.
