Poker professionals gear up for fantasy football

2008-08-21 15:35:09

Daniel Negreanu has set up a fantasy football league with some of the most recognizable names in poker.

The Canadian told readers of his Full Contact Poker blog that the likes of Gavin Smith, Phil Hellmuth and internet ace PotOdds3 are all members of his ten-team division, with an NFL player auction held between the competitors earlier this month.

Negreanu has Peyton Manning in his side, the man considered by many to be the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL.

He claimed he did not set out to buy him originally, but ended up snapping up the Indianapolis Colt for a relatively cheap price.

Hellmuth, Smith and Negreanu have all taken down major poker tournaments over the years.

The Poker Brat holds a record 11 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, while Smith has won on the World Poker Tour (WPT).

Negreanu has four WSOP titles and two from the WPT.
