I have thoroughly enjoyed the WSOP coverage. Each episode inspires multiple blog posts, few of which ever are made.
Daniel Negreanu's featured table this week highlighted something about him that is very different from the rest of the the poker field: he has an uncanny ability (ESP?) to know what his opponent has. It was unbelievable how many times he called EXACTLY what his opponent had. This is something he has done on TV many, many times before this week's WSOP episode.
I have a ton of respect for Daniel. In fact, after Doyle Brunson, he seems to me to be the best poker player that we get to watch on TV.
But damn if he screwed the pooch when he raised with 8To only to blow his wad on a CALL when he flopped top pair, ten kicker. That was terrible.
Don't get me wrong, he'd take all of my money, but that hand is evidence that even the best in the game are human after all.
