Erick Lindgren (to Daniel Negreanu):

I had twice as many outs as Gus.

John Juanda interjects:

Nice needle, there.

Erick mis-read Daniel for a bluff on the turn when Daniel had top pair. Erick hit a set on the river, and refers back to Gus' hand when Daniel had Gus in a set-over-set situation and Gus made quads.

Daniel continues to play very poorly this season. He had a tough night. He's right that he's had a cooler or two, but he's mostly been paying off in spots he doesn't have to.

Well put indeed! I have been thinking a lot about that check-raise on the river and laying down to Gus and I'm almost convinced, although not quite. I just can't stop thinking about 58 and 56 being really reasonable hands Daniel can put Gus on in that spot. I think Gus would check-raise all-in with those holdings, so Daniel is usually correct in calling. I've got a post coming about this hand, actually.

But, that is but one hand. So many others, Daniel has done exactly as you describe. He's really having a bad night. If he was playing optimally, he would quit instead. The previews for next week seem to indicate, though, that we're going to see Daniel keep dumping.
