We reported earlier in the day that husband and wife Erick Lindgren and Erica Schoenberg started play today sitting at the same table. That table was broken up quite awhile ago, but the poker gods apparently have a sense of humor.
When Erica's new table got broken up her next random table draw put her smack dab next to her husband.
Phil Hellmuth walked over to their table and pointed at the two of them saying, "Really?" to which Lindgren replied, "Second time today!"

On break from Event #37, the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship, Daniel Negreanu decided to try and build a stack in this tournament. He sat down and immediately told the table he was going to play reckless and that nobody should fold when he is in a hand.
