I know that you hate being at the feature table, when you just want to play and build a monster stack but it was fun watching you accumulate chips.

[@dnegspoker]

It's fine, I just don't want to spend a whole day there its exhausting under the lights and really hot

[@SimonRaker]

@@dnegspokerwe love u dnegs

[@jacobywood]

I know it is nice to see your cards though when you are at the tv tables. Best was when you and ivey were in his glasses next to each other I think you are the only one that can actually get him to laugh and talk at the table. Keep building your stack.... want to see you at a tv table again but it being the final... LFG

[@xaviererickson3351]

⁠@@dnegspokerwah wah wah bitch im lil baby

[@k1ngaagaard]

DNEGS has adapted through multiple generations of poker and the ever-evolving landscape. The fact that he continues to remain one of the top players is incredible. Rooting for you always Daniel!

[@kevinmclain6741]

Top players that is net loser last 8 years. Lol

[@NikStarow]

@@kevinmclain6741 He get staked and sponsored. Very little of his entries are his own money.

[@finn.t8220]

Never watched your channel before, only highlights of hands throughout the last decades, but in the last two months your vlogs have become part of my daily routine. Will miss the series if it ends

[@corylink3195]

I respect the fact that you wanted to smooth things over with that guy. You're a good person

[@hubolds1946]

Dude seemed like a windbag tbh

[@lumineerproductions585]

Had to sit next to “CUZ” for a 12 hour tournament at the Venetian. He didn’t shut his mouth for 12 hours. Miserable. And he gave himself his own nickname so that’s cool.

[@patton270]

I sure do miss how the WSOP looks. I miss the lighting and dimness from the Rio. In Paris feels to lit up and modern

[@hotrodsather]

I agree

[@bobsmith3291]

Too*

[@hank8291]

You said it all right there my man

[@owenjnelson-fb9mg]

Agree, but do you remember how weird it looked in 90s! There was a real luring appeal of those mid 2000s WSOP videos though....

[@Civ5forlife-td7hy]

the location also sucks too. and the parking at the rio was way better

[@paddedcave]

you must clip "I love IPA".. amazing short

[@patricmcglynn2477]

Not sure if that is public information, but you should likely blur out that woman's information at 8:09. Not sure if she would love her email address, etc. spread out.

[@TheBeanis8]

oooh ooh thanks for pointing that out, I would've never noticed otherwise. Now I know shes 34 and lives in Brazil! REKT!!!!

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

let's all send her lovely emails

[@abae693]

I’d email her but I took a look at her face and I’ll pass!

[@FizzyToni]

She is an online crusher, playing for team PokerStars.

[@mcjayred]

I love the content, I actually met you at the 2012 WSOP, I was a little starstruck at the time and you were very busy but you still took the time out to take a picture with me. I think it was near the 10k Final Table where Greg Merson won his first bracelet. Anyway, since then, I went into filmmaking and in 2016, I took down the worlds biggest short film competition. I am now developing a Comedy Poker Movie set around the WSOP which I will be pitching at the American Film Market in Vegas this November, wish me luck :)

[@Goexizzle6]

Good Luck Champ

[@mcjayred]

@@Goexizzle6 very kind of you, thanks :)

[@flynngames4703]

There is a number of things that is impressive about DNegs but the thing that is under rated is his ability to take naps instantly. Kinda amazing.

[@dnegspoker]

It's a special skill of mine lol

[@88lachapo88]

The king of naps!!!!😂😂😂

[@MitRolyat1]

I always felt like this is a super power I wish I had!

[@Yinzzy656]

Very true.

[@JeffreyEdmonds79]

I also have that super power. It’s glorious not gonna lie.

[@konohols]

just wanted to say Daniel, and i know, a little late but still, that it was such a joy watching you win the 50K PPC! So fun to whatch your vlog leading up to that final table, and then the final table, which is the only stream on pokergo that I follow live each year (being a winning Swedish low stakes mixed games player and mixed game fan, thats without question the coolest tournament on the planet). I really wish there were more mixed games available over here in sweden, but some day Ill make it to the wsop for some 1,5Ks mixed tournaments. Thats the dream. Anyhow, I could only imagine what winning the PPC must have felt like for you. Take that winning feeling with you now Daniel and go n crush the two card game main event! Make a run for the ages man! i can see it before me, you winning the damn thing and then when you get interviewed after winning it - youre talking about how grateful you are for winning the second greatest tournament in the world. hehe.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

How's the 120F heat? Broke the old record by THREE DEGREES! And it's only early July. Will Vegas be unlivable in a few decades at this rate??

[@timotobin4443]

Hey buddy, im so proud of you! Its nice to see you hanging in there, enjoying yourself doing so. This event would t be the same without you! Realy keeps my spirits up. Hopes and dreams is all it takes for me. Would love to see tomorrow at the table or somewhere around them. Starting tomorrow at black 54, seat 6 and would love to give you personal cheerup in full GGgear. Love ya!

[@stevenwilson8718]

It was the Jeff Platt interview that made the new table cold for you! Worse than a 50 dolla bill y'all!

[@robynstein8258]

you got this Daniel Keep the Faith

[@hornedpout]

Morita seems like such a fun person. Very bubbly personality. She’s also gorgeous!

[@freedomspyder]

I saw one video of her lobbing darts with some pro dude. Some kind of exhibition, as they were just targeting the bullseye.

[@owenjnelson-fb9mg]

@@freedomspyder Toy darts. The bull and outer bull are both 50 so with such a huge target every game just goes bull bull bull bull, its 901 to score. Then they play cricket which is where a bit of skill comes in, but in 901, two evenly matched players will just depend on who wins the toss who wins the game. Someone will occasionaly try hit a treble 20 and ultimately miss and give their opponent an easy win, unless they hit a few then they overtake, but its pretty much a crap game.... and the board does all the counting and stupid sound effects on each hit, its not "proper darts" .... lol

[@owenjnelson-fb9mg]

It would be amazing if she ran deep, great for poker, and a delight to watch. Easy on eyes too. All the Japanese female darts players are! Better genes!

[@freedomspyder]

@@owenjnelson-fb9mg I wondered, what was up, I ast forwarded through it.

[@freedomspyder]

@@owenjnelson-fb9mg Agreed. She's a breath of fresh air.

[@ksho313]

Ready to watch! I unfortunately punted last night after being up in my matches.. nowhere near the stakes of this event of course. Now I need to refresh and redepo... so I can get back to a grind

[@MomoKehinde]

Love you Daniel! Good luck at the main event!

[@pattymelton2680]

Daniel…..you are a GREAT player. We don’t want you to forget that! Be a nit a little more and you can own this sucka. Been following you since 2006. I’m old enough to be your Mama, my son just turned 47. Please win this! Kisses to Amanda and puppies too.

[@dethaddr]

GO GET 'EM Daniel!!!! Bracelet #8 in the biggest way possible!!!

[@mikezack4416]

Keep it going DNegs and I'm pulling for ya man. you're a legend on the felt and a "CLASS ACT"

Dnegs looks like he is about to climb K2 in some of these clips. Stay locked in! We are rooting for ya

[@CardinalLaw9]

Crazy that he won $1M a short while back and yet is only up $20K for the WSOP as a whole

[@andyhines5480]

I watched some of the game play last night. Good job on chipping up. Good luck Dan the man.

The Johnny Chan play against Leonard was very well executed. I especially like the sizing of your bet on the turn. Small ball baby! Let's chip up slowly but surely.

[@MatthewGoodchild-ge5jt]

So close to getting to the 205k at the end! Keep grinding!

OMG Scotty Nguyen! The dude's a character and quite a player. Loved watching him play...might have seen that event come to think of it.

Did you ask the Buckner man why he didn’t like you?

Spectacular to watch D Negs execute on his highest level last night.

[@SpAdE479.]

The TV table is waaay better for Daniel IMO.

[@adamherndon168]

Was watching the livestream and thought for sure you’d do a hand breakdown of the trips you had that lost to a straight. That would have been a good one to hear the thought process on and what you thought she was repping.

[@GuitarBonk]

Danny's Seinfeld moment @ 3:40 mark. "Does everyone in the world have to like you?" "Yes, yes, they do."

[@coachtim6188]

End of day finishing at 93K. The chip count board doesn't show him at that amount and can't find where it has him. Anybody know why? He didn't play today, only D flight so should still be at the 93K. He's not. I've looked through all players down to 80K and up to 120K. Not on there. Wondering if something happened with his count.

[@23rdspaul87]

Everyone loves you Daniel, I love your perspective on poker and life in general, like I said when you signed my hat you dressing as Scotty Nguyen was so funny, that expresso looked good bro...we missed your 50k bracelet win too cuz my buddy was sick we so wanted to be there tho cheerin ya on...ivey shades 😎

Leonard definitely give you respect in spots. There's spots he would have got involved in if it wasn't you he was playing against. Hirish also made bad plays but got lukcy a fair few times. Him calling your 3bet oop and floating the flop with 4s was wild.
