We discussed some of Daniel’s weak calls on the river in various High Stakes Poker seasons, and we pretty much broke it down to these factors:

  1. Daniel Negreanu did not want to get bluffed on national television.
  2. Daniel flopped a lot of hands, got beaten a lot times — and couldn’t believe it kept happening.
  3. Daniel wanted information. He was paying for information (a lot of cash, though).
  4.  Daniel was steaming.

I’m afraid most of it was 2 and 4 — and 50% was cold deck as well. Whatever it was, we both agreed on some of the calls being bad.

Then again — if I was dealt his cards against those opponents (I mean can you fold a straight to Sam Farha?) good chance I would have busted. Meh.

That was tough for everyone watching too, Daniel. That would have been an impossible laydown — cold decks aye!

If only this was the only cold deck situation for Negreanu in High Stakes poker…. : ( Gus Hansen really benifited from this one — but more were there that season (and others!)

In total, the hand has been viewed over 2 million times on Youtube, and the reason why is dead simple; it’s one of the biggest pots ever to be shown on television, and it’s a prime example of a cold deck situation, this time with Daniel Negreanu on the receiving end of the beating.

What adds to the greatness of this hand is the excellent commentary by Gabe Kaplan, who gets rightfully so gets extremely excited…

I hate to see Daniel go “huh?” when Gus moves check-raises all-in on the river… I really do feel his pain. Poker can be a tough game. ;)

(anyone noticed Antonio folding AQ pre-flop? Amazing… :) )
