It's wild to see the commentators wearing tuxedos. It tilts me that they refer to the tournament chips as "dollars". 1999 doesn't feel to me like it was that long ago yet it seems like a completely different time looking back on it now.
“We got heads up and I started to feel like the underdog against him. I felt like he was playing better than I was. Sometimes you can just tell; the guy was winning all the pots in the trenches, digging out these situation shots, I was getting outplayed. I made a strategy shift. I understood that if I wanted to win, I’d have to take some risks.” -Daniel Definitely smart to call for the flip if he felt like he was getting outplayed anyway. Worked out pretty dang well.
10YRS later and we never heard from this kid Negreanu again. I guess everyone gets their 5 min of fame. Wonder where he is now? Probably serving coffee at a Tim Hortons somewhere, Aye, I mean Eh..
I'm amazed the Taj mahal had a website in 1999
Funny how the John acts like how Daniel does now adays calling out what he thinks he has and constantly talking

Cause the chips back then actually represented what was printed on them. They're not starting with 25k each in a $3k buy-in like today.

Ura donkey
I guess because it's the US Poker Championship, they say Negreanu is from Las Vegas (where he does live) instead of Canada, where he is from.
Wow never thought I'd see Daniel not so talkative
You can tell he took a lot of inspiration from this match, complete classic.
John is a heck of a good sport here.
