Of course, you knew Doug Polk was going to have to troll Daniel about this.
.... and then Matusow, who has recently rekindled his friendship with Daniel, tweeted this:
I've had some people text me in the past week, insisting that it was more likely than not that Daniel knew.
However, I'm still of the belief that Daniel didn't. I'll concede that it's possible he knew, but it's more likely that he didn't. There would simply be no reason to go back and double check the WSOP's work regarding the points, or the list of past events cashed. Up until now, there had never been a known mistake, nor was there reason to suspect there would be one.
Since we don't have any proof that Daniel knew, nor is it obvious that he did, we have to give him the benefit of the doubt here. I think it's unfair to just assume what was in Daniel's head, and then vilify him for it.
Keep in mind that I'm no Negreanu fanboy.
But fair's fair, and I think Negreanu is getting a lot of flak he doesn't deserve.
