Yes - I have it. It's been a month since I have watched it.

It covers a lot of ground, but nothing comprehensively.

For me, Negreanu's presentation was the highlight.

All in all, about what your would expect from a poker seminar.

It would have been nice if they sent you a notebook of written material authored by the speakers.
