Daniel Negreanu is absolutely salivating to play his rematch against Hellmuth.
In their first match, Negreanu had a massive 95,000 to 5,000 chip advantage before Hellmuth was able to turn the tables and win the match.
Negreanu believes that he is the clear favourite to win the rematch, as evidenced by this Tweet:

I’m struggling to find anyone who wants the other side at -1.50 so if I know you, and you want up to $200k let me know!
1.50 is a heavy price for a sit n’ go! Come and get it!

Can Hellmuth frustrate "Kid Poker" and win again, or will Negreanu get his revenge?
