Threads like this are rediculous. He won two 10k+ buy-in events and took third in another in 2004. He was WSOP POY. What some of you saying about losing his focus may have some merit, but he was the best player in the world in 2004 as far as tourneys are concerned. When there are 400+ players in every tourney and you play a high variance style like Daniel, you will have bad stretches. Remember, he is not playing to sneak into the money, so that explains why so few cashes.
