Have something you'd like to see in a future 3-Bet? Drop a note in the comments and we'll gladly take a look.
Today in the 3-Bet we find Daniel Negreanu planning an inside look at his daily 2014 WSOP rituals, a full World Cup squad of football/poker lookalikes that might turn your head and Sorel Mizzi survives a four-hour-plus ocean marathon to collect on his prop bet.
1) The Daniel Negreanu Diaries
So, this could be incredibly interesting. Or it could be just an extended version of his recent blogs on Choice Center/personal growth/working out.
Either way his fans will get an in-depth look inside his ups-and-downs (and, probably, fridge contents) during the 2014 WSOP:
I'm going to be doing a WSOP journal throughout the entire series. I may publish it later in one form or another later in the year. It...

— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) May 23, 20142) Wayne Rooney = Jason Koon?
Crossover fans of soccer and poker will likely find a few amusing pairings in this poker pro/footballer doppelgänger mashup by PokerListings Denmark's Thomas Hviid.
Not a soccer fan? You'll still marvel at the shockingly comparable head shapes of Nacho Berbero and Gerard Pique. Note to US Soccer fans: A Landon Donovan-Kerr Smith splitscreen was dropped at the last minute for being just a step behind.
3) Mizzi Makes It! But Barely
The week wouldn't be complete if we didn't update you on poker pro Sorel Mizzi's death-defying 5 km swim to an island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
Honestly, following Mizzi's live feed on his Twitter account today (done by someone on his support boat obv.) was utterly nerve-wracking and possibly the most exciting thing we've done all week.
Granted, we didn't have the most exciting week. But still. That was a really, really good sweat. And major respect to both Mizzi (for making it) and his Tweeting pal for capturing the full four-hour-plus ordeal in scintillating fashion.
Given the fortitude it must have taken to keep going in that water we've also got a major hankering to find some room for Mizzi on our WSOP Fantasy team now. We wouldn't put it past him to win a couple of bracelets this summer at all. Revisit his harrowing journey via the tweets below:
all lubed up and ready to go !!! pic.twitter.com/q5y6cwka2V
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014The swim has begun. #powerstroke pic.twitter.com/O0CVtXkiAT
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 20141/5 of the way there and in good spirits. No sharks, no jellyfish, no problems so far. #Nyad
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Bad news for bettors: 40% of the way there, roughly. Good news for bettors: breathing heavier and waves are larger and more numerous.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014First member of the group has vomited, everyone else is nauseous. Sorel finally asks for water and it seemed urgent.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Mizzi's making a believer of the crew and lifeguard. 'At first we thought no chance, but now we're not so sure' Moving slow though.

— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014His biggest problem now is being blown past the islands and not being able to swim against the current back to them. Has been pushed far
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Can't see how he doesn't make it now short of a cramp or some other unforeseen event.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Mizzi's slowing a lot since the update 20 minutes ago. Not a lock anymore but still looking favorable. Arms barely moving.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Sorel has been in the water for just about 3 hours now. So just around one level of a SCOOP.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Captain of the boat says if he doesn't get there in 30 minutes, he doesn't think he'll ever make it. Combo of currents/fatigue.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Sorel has barely made any progress in the last twenty minutes and the waves are picking up.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Estimate like 5-600 meters away. Currents are pulling him away from the island though and getting stronger.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Large birds circling Sorel now. They really, really look like they wanna take a shot at him. #betterthansharks
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014Current is pulling him away from the island but it seems he's still able to overcome it. Progress is slow but ongoing.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014 — Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014He's there! Touched the rock screaming bring the boat bring the boat! pic.twitter.com/ayTbrORUWs
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014First impressions from him. Man that was way harder than I thought. I swallowed so much salt water.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014iM BACK!!!! arms r jello and throat is burning from drinking lots of salt water. Massage and sushi dinner are essentials for tonight.
— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) May 23, 2014HUGE thanks for all the support. and bigger thank you to all the people who thought i couldn't do it.. it made me want it SOOOO fkn bad
