Exactly. Need to be 3 betting from the sb there w/ QJos ( if you chose to play). The opener will 4 bet with his premiums and you can easily let it go and save all those chips. ICM basics, I’m sure he’s learned his lesson.
It potentially was. If he shoves preflop and gets McKeehen to fold, who knows what could have happened after. Poker is full of surprises, and we hear stories all the time about a player spinning their small stack up and going on to win the tournament.
@JazzYachtrocker NOT true. You CANNOT win a tournament without getting lucky at least twice. Doesn't matter who you are, there will ALWAYS be a hand where you get it in good and have to hold, and a hand where you get it in bad and suck out.
@@commonsenseapproach101 You can't argue with success. Maybe one or two championships come because of good luck, but you can't be a horrible player and have seventeen.
Yes, he could have went all in pre, with A4 and possibly got the fold. But he was extremely lucky to win a lot of preflop races. And to have the Ks hold up.
He would’ve got the fold from J-3 McKeehen has the chips to lean on everyone every hand and w 800k invested he folds to a 3bet shove of just about 4m more that could’ve cut his stack in half and double upped one of (if not) the strongest player at the table. He def won his share of races you’re right I feel like you’re gonna have to have st least 3 or 4 lucky spots,win a lot flips and have the deck hit you to win the Main
I used to, but I got tired of his act a while back. He refuses to fold at times and talks too much. My fave is Dwan. He's aggressive w/o being a d!ck. ;-)
Sometimes when it’s your time it’s your time! McKeehan played like a beast and ran like god. The poker gods work in weird and funny ways. Thanks for the video!
Great video, thanks! I have a wish though, if you could please turn the music down a smidge during big hands so we can clearly hear the table talk. Otherwise great video 👍
No, the QJ hand and that final hand were both really big blunders. He should have folded the QJ hand preflop, and he should have shoved with the A4. Very unlikely McKeehan would have called his all in.
He didnt play small ball w/ JQ and A4. He shouldve folded on the turn or river w/ JQ and shoved pre w/ A4. He couldve call w/ A4 if he had more than 40bb and played sb post flop. as great a player as he is, JQ and A4 were played suboptimal.
i've played a fair bit of "small ball" - especially back 10-15 years ago. Comes with the risk of letting your opponents catch up and takes solid live reading skills (which dnegs has in spades.) but its a profitable strategy if you can avoid making errors that cost you big. Some errors are ok, and if playing small ball, those errors cost you, small. When hands gain momentum, and the opponent ends up with the better showdown value, it feels like you've made a mistake, which is not wrong, but not right either.
I wouldn't call that a mistake. It was a calculated risk that almost paid off. I'm not sure I would take a flop against a guy running as hot as Joe was, but I'm not half the player Daniel is so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
It is generally not correct to make statements about counting other people's money. I believe that only Daniel can say how much he lost or how much he earned. Good video. I hope that the author will draw conclusions for himself and in the future there will be only high-quality content with a correct description, and this will not only increase views, but will also inspire respect for the author. All the best and prosperity!
Getting super lucky right before the bubble usually is a must bc you’ll have people who will fire 5-10x buy ins and the bubble will be full of min stacks. Getting lucky goes wo saying but if you can get past that bubble with a good stack you can really start to see the field fall fast bc and level off. As long as you have 5x I think you are doing fine but people usually get satisfied with bubble pop so play all the way down to best start hands and don’t just punt bc 5x goes to 35x goes to 100x and then your arrested for public intoxication with zero regret!
Dan thought he was the Man with winning Aces , but cards are cards he took the chance , I think he didn’t take enough time to think things out . Oh well there will be other games . Great entertainment 👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺
These tournaments are basically an expensive version of "all in or fold". Sure, they nibble for awhile, and then go all in. To win such a tournament, you don't have to be a good poker player. You simply need to sun run. It is very rare to see anyone bluffing to cause someone with stronger cards to fold.
I consider myself an amateur and I would have pushed all-in with any A as the short stack. So I'm not second guessing Danny, Its just that's what I would have done. McKeehen probably would have called anyway and the results would have been the same. However, if Danny pushed all-in preflop, perhaps McKeehen would have folded because it wasn't an amateur pushing all-in preflop.
A4 is an all-in or fold at that point and he would be the first to admit it. It did not matter who he was playing in the hand, being short stack, he could not pass too many opportunity to go in.
I agree that as a shortstack Daniel had to make a decision preflop all in or fold based of his feeling about Joe's hand strenght. But when he called he had no other choice when A hit the board. Someone said before that was only the end QJ hand was the one which decided the outcome, even if Daniel won this one still he would have little chance against chip leader.
Its a great compilation of Daniel's play in this event, but you don't point out the mistake, was it in JQ v KK? Or in the final hand? And if the final hand its hardly an $8m mistake as winning the pot with a pre-flop shove still has Daniel as one of the short stacks.
Thanks for watching. You may have missed it, but I did point out the mistake. In the video I talk about how his decision to not shove preflop with A4 was the mistake that led to his elimination. If he shoves preflop, I strongly believe McKeehen would have folded.
8 million is for winning the bracelet, not making the final table. So even if he didn't get knocked out on that hand, he still would be short of winning 8M. He'd still need to win a bunch more hands which was never a guarantee.
With the Ace of diamonds in his hand, he blocks many of the flushes his opponent can have. If he didn't have the Ace of diamonds I think he would probably just call.
I would have mucked the A4o. You’re dominated by almost every other ace, unless the flop comes 2,3,5 rainbow or 4,4 x you likely won’t have the best hand. Jamming pre might have been the way to go but it’s so easy to be dominated there. If you get to the flop yes you hit your ace but you could easily be shoving into a bigger ace. If the other player has just diamonds the still are about 36% to win. KT would just have flopped 2 pair so you’re dead in that scenario. All in all I obviously wasn’t there so my opinion doesn’t matter but I would have mocked the A4 and waited for a better spot.
I don't agree he should have pushed pre flop. Joe was dominating the table woth his chip stack. When that happens your a4 vs him looks to be strong. You don't call on pre flop woth a 4. A4 is a strong hand 5 handed especially when blinds are high. I play to win and push odds. Theres a lot of players who will grind there stacks down and play tight for me I don't do that. I go for it.
It’s tough too say about Daniel’s pre flop play because although A-4 is ahead of button raises in most cases daniel would be a coin flip if they got it all in with other ranges the button would be raising with but let’s take it for what it is in this situation although a small favorite in most situations Daniel had enough of a chip stack too apply pressure back to the big stack I think it might actually be a shove it’s close but a shove is the superior play
I appreciate your detailed breakdown of the hand - always good to learn from different perspectives. You pointed out a key factor - "applying pressure to the big stack". McKeehen wants to maintain his chip lead going into the FT. Therefore he does not want to take high variance spots like this one. Great point!
If he doubles up there, he would have a little over 30 big blinds. And given that he was the best player remaining in the field, he would have been in great contention to win.
He got his money in good 56% played the hand perfect. His reading ability is world class so going with his read even with the qj v kk is the right play because on the long run his reads are usually correct. Mcheon just had the perfect flop vs his opponents over and over.@RoyalFlushMediaCompany
If skill had anything to do with it Daniel would of won. Both his pocket cards were higher than Mckennon pocket cards, the flop, the turn, the river were all by chance or luck
A4 off is NOT a goo preflop all in with that many in the table still, he has at least 9 hands to get some better, but if he is going to go with it, ALWAY go all in with the Ace, never limp it being low(he wasn't THAT low yet), I would of dumped it in that position.
A4 is a pure shove pre. To try and play postflop with that hand, out of position and short stack against a guy who who will put pressure on you is ridiculous
So he lost a flip and that is a mistake? Sure, A4o could shove preflop and win, but on the other hand, that would not have confirmed him the first place, not even nearly. To get there he needs to double up sooner or later. I bet his strategy was to play a lot of pots and use the skill edge he has, of course we can argue if he should have changed it when stack is so shallow already, but calling this 8 million dollar mistake is obviously hyperbolic to the extreme.
Commentators are usually pretty knowledgeable, but in this case I have to disagree. It was bad luck and not a mistake - at least, not THAT one; the QJ hand was more the mistake - that did Daniel in, because I think the chip leader calls him even if he does move pre-flop.
I don't even have 1/1000th the talent that Dnegs has for reading people...but WHY did he have to play so many hands when he was up...Too bad he didn't pick better spots(Easy for me to say).
I think he was getting frustrated with McKeehan. He felt like McKeehan was running over the table and decided to take a stand. But luck just wasn't on his side that day.
DNEG lost his stack because he refuses to fold when beaten......sure he made some amazing folds and calls, but I am 1000% certain that he would have had many more bracelets and wins if he folded when losing the hand
No, I spent a week researching and writing the script myself. I used a voiceover artist to narrate the story. What do you think? Does any the script or voiceover need improvement?
Lol, what a ridiculous premise for a video. Its not an 8 Million dollar mistake if there are still 10 other players. He was even extremely below the average stack being at 17.5 millio and Daniel having a stack of about 8 million. (Assuming he goes all in pre flop and Gets the fold) 15:06 But even if, number one got 7.6 million - 0.5 Million Daniël got is 7.1 million at best.
@@RoyalFlushMediaCompany don't feel sorry, either say yes you are right that's a good point I agree. Or say no I disagree I stand by my title. Props on you for listening to a critique and responding to people. And adjusting the title. Better title.
IMO I don’t think my title was click bait but putting myself in the shoes of my viewers, I can understand how it might seem that way. It’s never my intention to use click bait to get people to watch my videos. My goal is to share my passion for poker and make high quality content for people to enjoy.
If a mistake was made(IF a mistake was actually made), it was not post flop….It happened pre flop.I believe with his chip count, he should of shoved all in.That is just my opinion, i am not saying it is the correct move.I believe that opponents hand was foldable even with his large stack. Just wondering, did anyone ever ask opponent if he would of folded or call the “ all in” pre flop.? Either way, playing the hand like Daniel did , i don’t think it was wrong, just shitty river luck. Easy for judging after the fact.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the hand! I don't think McKeehen has ever stated publicly if he would have folded, but I think a player as good as him would have recognized that calling with J3 would have been a bad call.
Yeah it looks like he just ran into a guy that was running super hot. It really stinks, but poker still has luck (or randomness) involved at the end of the day.
True, luck win in short term, and between two skilled players luck surely matter, no doubt.... Also I can beat Daniel with luck if we play just one hand, but if I play 1000 hands I guarantee I will be beat, because his skill outperform my luck in long run

Clearly the QJ against KK hand broke him
Yes that was another hand where I think he made a mistake. I believe he should have folded that preflop versus the chip leader.
Exactly. Need to be 3 betting from the sb there w/ QJos ( if you chose to play). The opener will 4 bet with his premiums and you can easily let it go and save all those chips. ICM basics, I’m sure he’s learned his lesson.
Yeah and he called it, he knew he was running hot
it was not an 8 million dollar mistake, if he wanted to win he would have had to flip sooner or later.
It potentially was. If he shoves preflop and gets McKeehen to fold, who knows what could have happened after. Poker is full of surprises, and we hear stories all the time about a player spinning their small stack up and going on to win the tournament.
@@RoyalFlushMediaCompany then why you do put title "wich cost him 8 milions" you implied that it did like he would won that
ya he at 11 place long way for that 1st place
@RoyalFlushMediaCompany as you say " who knows what would have happened" so to say it was an 8 million dollar mistake is a massive assumption
That literally makes no sense
Daniel should've avoided getting into hands with the chip leader. The Jack Queen hand did him in. Never fall in love with top pair.
i don’t remember a JT hand
100% agreed. But I think you mean the QJ hand.
Yeah - but Mckeehan was running over the table w the big stack. Was making plays without having it. Wasn’t a foolish call, IMO
100% . Sometimes people just run hot and you have to respect that.
@@RoyalFlushMediaCompany yeah, he said the same thing you just did, just with the cards in a different order...rofl...
Nothing against McKeehen, but it did bother the hell out of me how lucky he was in that tournament. ggs
Agreed but luck plays a huge role in who wins. Greg Merson is the perfect example of being a lucky winner.
Luck has a little to do with who wins
@JazzYachtrocker NOT true. You CANNOT win a tournament without getting lucky at least twice. Doesn't matter who you are, there will ALWAYS be a hand where you get it in good and have to hold, and a hand where you get it in bad and suck out.

@@MewtwoStruckBack Lemme get back to you on that.
That last hand can't be considered a mistake (in my opinion).
That's a mistake, coz flush chance is there on flop
Yes, he could have went all in pre, with A4 and possibly got the fold. But he was extremely lucky to win a lot of preflop races. And to have the Ks hold up.
Yes those hands we're critical. Especially the one versus Hellmuth. If you don't win your flips, then you won't win the tournament.
Yes the best play is clearly to rip it pre , but considering this is last 2 tables in the Main , I can see why he just called
He would’ve got the fold from J-3 McKeehen has the chips to lean on everyone every hand and w 800k invested he folds to a 3bet shove of just about 4m more that could’ve cut his stack in half and double upped one of (if not) the strongest player at the table.

Such is life. My last WSOP tournament, got it in with AA and got 4 flushed by KK. You have to get lucky in so many spots to win any tournament.
Extremely lucky. I don’t think any poker player will argue that
McKeehan has an unfair advantage - the huge ecosystem inside his beard team up vs Daniel Negreafish every hand!

Good lord that trust fall at the end looked painful. My back hurts just watching it.

It’s criminal that Daniel has not won the main event.
Not really. These things aren't easy to do. Even Ivey doesn't have a Holdem bracelet.
so the catastrophic mistake was calling the raise pre-flop raise instead of shoving? I thought it was going to be something far more regrettable
Sorry to disappoint. In poker, a small mistake can be catastrophic. I hope you still enjoyed the video.

One of those people that look better with age
dang i’d feel awful if i lost a bracelet too
Poker hated this year, I totally forgot the Amish won the ME. No one heard anything from that whole FT ever again...
Not true joe mckhean is a crusher still to this day.
A4 is an all-in or fold at that point and he would be the first to admit it.
It did not matter who he was playing in the hand, being short stack, he could not pass too many opportunity to go in.
Agreed! Especially when you know the chip leader is opening 100% of hands from the button.
I agree that as a shortstack Daniel had to make a decision preflop all in or fold based of his feeling about Joe's hand strenght. But when he called he had no other choice when A hit the board.
Someone said before that was only the end QJ hand was the one which decided the outcome, even if Daniel won this one still he would have little chance against chip leader.
If you were in Daniel's shoes, what would you have done?
Cool video. Would be great without the music though.
Music adds drama. Hard to tell a good story without it. I'll try turning it down in future videos. Thanks for watching!
There a sheet on which player got more premium hands in tournies like this?
I don't think they start tracking every hand until the final table is reached. But I could be wrong.
Its a great compilation of Daniel's play in this event, but you don't point out the mistake, was it in JQ v KK? Or in the final hand? And if the final hand its hardly an $8m mistake as winning the pot with a pre-flop shove still has Daniel as one of the short stacks.

Never ever EVER go all in preflop without a pocket pair unless you’re short stacked
8 million is for winning the bracelet, not making the final table. So even if he didn't get knocked out on that hand, he still would be short of winning 8M. He'd still need to win a bunch more hands which was never a guarantee.
I don’t like the raise with broadway, all flushes call while all worse (which opponent had) easily fold.
With the Ace of diamonds in his hand, he blocks many of the flushes his opponent can have. If he didn't have the Ace of diamonds I think he would probably just call.
I would have mucked the A4o. You’re dominated by almost every other ace, unless the flop comes 2,3,5 rainbow or 4,4 x you likely won’t have the best hand. Jamming pre might have been the way to go but it’s so easy to be dominated there.
If you get to the flop yes you hit your ace but you could easily be shoving into a bigger ace. If the other player has just diamonds the still are about 36% to win. KT would just have flopped 2 pair so you’re dead in that scenario.
All in all I obviously wasn’t there so my opinion doesn’t matter but I would have mocked the A4 and waited for a better spot.
I don't agree he should have pushed pre flop. Joe was dominating the table woth his chip stack. When that happens your a4 vs him looks to be strong. You don't call on pre flop woth a 4. A4 is a strong hand 5 handed especially when blinds are high. I play to win and push odds. Theres a lot of players who will grind there stacks down and play tight for me I don't do that. I go for it.
Pretty hard to beat a monster stack that running super hot 🤷♂️..
Facts!
This video is a lesson in turning BACKGROUND music into FOREGROUND music!
Is the music too loud?
How did this cost him 8 mil ? He didn't even make the final table...
Oh Canada 🇨🇦 ask Daniel for money lol
there has never been an 8 million dollar mistake in poker
Falling to the floor for the second time… the first time was when Mimi Tran dumped him.
I think Negreanu should've shoved his last hand before the flop not on it. McKeehen had a lot of outs and there's no way that's he's folding
How is it “shocking” when a hand that is 50/50 pre flop and 80%+ after the turn holds?
No way you shove preflop that last hand. He was right to see a flop then shove.
Joe McKeehen ...all the skill, but not a speck of memorable, or marketable, personality
all the skill, that's debatable
It's only a result oriented mistake. I think Daniel knows what he is doing deep in the $10k main
He saw AK and then acted like Phil
Even an all-in pre-flop would not have resulted in a fold. IMO
What a scam i got knocked out the very first day cost me 8 million as well
It’s tough too say about Daniel’s pre flop play because although A-4 is ahead of button raises in most cases daniel would be a coin flip if they got it all in with other ranges the button would be raising with but let’s take it for what it is in this situation although a small favorite in most situations Daniel had enough of a chip stack too apply pressure back to the big stack I think it might actually be a shove it’s close but a shove is the superior play

That stupid stare was so tilting. Not like he had a read, just starring to stare. So dumb.

Can't tell if McKeehen has skill or not....When you run that hot, you don't need skill.
I’ve played with him a few times in the past few years. I don’t know about back then, but he’s a solid player now.
why 8 million mistake? if he would won the hand he at least had to win 5 more showdowns to win the tournament
Check out the new title and let me know what you think.

One small mistake and a 17 min video.... something is wrong here.
Its about the journey and the mistake. Every story needs context.
Commentators are usually pretty knowledgeable, but in this case I have to disagree. It was bad luck and not a mistake - at least, not THAT one; the QJ hand was more the mistake - that did Daniel in, because I think the chip leader calls him even if he does move pre-flop.

I don't even have 1/1000th the talent that Dnegs has for reading people...but WHY did he have to play so many hands when he was up...Too bad he didn't pick better spots(Easy for me to say).
I think he was getting frustrated with McKeehan. He felt like McKeehan was running over the table and decided to take a stand. But luck just wasn't on his side that day.
DNEG lost his stack because he refuses to fold when beaten......sure he made some amazing folds and calls, but I am 1000% certain that he would have had many more bracelets and wins if he folded when losing the hand
He fell short cuz he wasn't lucky enough, period!
I would have folded A 4 off I think...i hope DNegs gets one.
Two AK all ins lost him the 🏆
Did AI write this Voice Over?
No, I spent a week researching and writing the script myself. I used a voiceover artist to narrate the story. What do you think? Does any the script or voiceover need improvement?
How the &$_# am I gonna tell Daniel anything
One of the top 5 players of all time.
Who else is in your top 5?
This is why he will never be the greatest
Who do you think is the GOAT in poker?
Lol, what a ridiculous premise for a video. Its not an 8 Million dollar mistake if there are still 10 other players. He was even extremely below the average stack being at 17.5 millio and Daniel having a stack of about 8 million. (Assuming he goes all in pre flop and Gets the fold) 15:06
But even if, number one got 7.6 million - 0.5 Million Daniël got is 7.1 million at best.
Sorry you feel that way. Check out the new title and let me know what you think.
@@RoyalFlushMediaCompany don't feel sorry, either say yes you are right that's a good point I agree.
Or say no I disagree I stand by my title.
Props on you for listening to a critique and responding to people. And adjusting the title.
Better title.
IMO I don’t think my title was click bait but putting myself in the shoes of my viewers, I can understand how it might seem that way. It’s never my intention to use click bait to get people to watch my videos. My goal is to share my passion for poker and make high quality content for people to enjoy.
If a mistake was made(IF a mistake was actually made), it was not post flop….It happened pre flop.I believe with his chip count, he should of shoved all in.That is just my opinion, i am not saying it is the correct move.I believe that opponents hand was foldable even with his large stack.
Just wondering, did anyone ever ask opponent if he would of folded or call the “ all in” pre flop.?
Either way, playing the hand like Daniel did , i don’t think it was wrong, just shitty river luck.
Easy for judging after the fact.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the hand! I don't think McKeehen has ever stated publicly if he would have folded, but I think a player as good as him would have recognized that calling with J3 would have been a bad call.
so not really a mistake.. just bad luck
Keeps calling behind and hitting. It's luck
Are you referring to Negreanu or McKeehen?
For 12 big blinds, McKeehen is calling anyway if Negreanu raises pre.
Possibly. But with J3s it would be a really bad call on his part.
100 % Mckeehen is folding if Daniel jams pre .. J5 is a horrid call there for a 12 bb jam
@@Ladosligese Agreed! What hands would you call with if you were McKeehen?
it was J3
Negreanu: "Straight."
🎤: "Me too."
Luck runs out sooner or later
Indeed!

Yeah it looks like he just ran into a guy that was running super hot. It really stinks, but poker still has luck (or randomness) involved at the end of the day.
Poor daniel I am glad he lost they say all skill BS all luck any person can play this game
Poker is definitely more skill than luck. But when your running bad, it can definitely feel like its all luck lol
True, luck win in short term, and between two skilled players luck surely matter, no doubt....
Also I can beat Daniel with luck if we play just one hand, but if I play 1000 hands I guarantee I will be beat, because his skill outperform my luck in long run
