My guess is Negreanu's commentary on this won't be enough for the posters in this forum. Jesus Christ would have to tell them there was a deal to believe it.

Thanks for the link.

i guess negreanu's commentary, while undoubtedly true, doesn't mean that a deal was actually cut. the way i read it:

DN doesn't cut deals. everyone else is more likely to. so phil was joking with him about hoping he busted out so they could chop.

again; i don't believe DN has reason to lie, so i guess that conversation happened. there is, however, quite a leap of logic to then infer that a deal was actually made.

i guess that's your inside source, eh?
