I didn't know Dnegs lived in yellow Breaking Bad Mexico.

I want to see Daniel win a bracelet this year! I don't know if it's a big priority for him but hope to see him making some deep runs this summer!

The thing about Daniel that stands out to me is his resolve and determination. He flew back and forth from Canada to Vegas many times and many times he went broke. He told a story about how he was at a home game and he lost all his chips and then went to the bathroom. When he came back many of the players had left. He then realized that he was the fish. The players were there to take his chips and once they did, there was no need for them to stay. Despite going broke several times he pushed forward and got better and better. Now, I think it is safe to say he has reached a great amount of success and is an elite poker play. I believe he is one of the greatest of all time.

One things true, he looks is way better physical shape than he used to. Good on him.

Daniel you are the best ever,my motivaton to learn in poker every day and try to get better!

IMO, he’s a goat of the game, with a name like kid poker, there are a lot of expectations that come with it, but D has handled it like a goat and continued to expand his game with theevolution of the game, not to mention the ways he shares his knowledge with us average recreationals! Anywho good luck this year! 🌎✌️👽❤️

What is up with the yellow filter on the video?
-
Phil is so mad that they asked Daniel and not him lol
-
Something of a clickbait title, but it was so good I don't care. Very well prepared interviewer with clearly well thought out questions. Would have liked more talk about tells, but that's okay.
-
A lot of pros from 20-30 years ago stopped studying as the game advanced. That’s why they fell off, but Daniel continued to study and put in work.
-
Legend!
