Daniel must have become a little sad, after sending the expected winner Justin Bonomo home, ending up defeated in the final HU… When starting with similar amount of chips, final HU of a tourney have nothing to do with what was left beind, it’s like starting a new game. Daniel has a lot of experience in this, but maybe it was just like the news said, the poker gods were all on Igor Kurganov’s side.

well i can only add to what most of you already mentioned- a bit sad to see daniel loosing- he is one of those few players that one can associate online poker with- really passionate player, loves his trade, nice guy, amusing at the table- all round a great person...so it's always nice to see him winning, at least he got a 2nd...

Posted by Macubaas: Daniel is a brilliant live poker player, especially tournaments, but i have to admit that heads up never was his strong point...
I noticed that on different stages of games, still congrats to the winner and for Daniel too!
Yeah he's a low baller.
Which is why I found this statement interesting on poker ankings in his profile:
"Daniel is known for his aggressive style of play"
Really?lol
Admittedly i have only seen highlights and some tournament footage but he doesnt strike me as aggrrssive - his whole ethos is built around chipping up by winning small.
