It got worse from there, though, as after about 2 hours I was stuck $180,000 in props, and another $140,000 in the poker game.

Frankly, I don't remember any interesting hands from the evening as my mind was so focused on the props and the poker. I didn't make any mental notes thinking, "This would be good for the blog."

Just because he doesn't remember any interesting hands doesn't mean he wasn't focused during the time of those hands. There's also the fact that those hands were NOT interesting to Daniel, hence the fact that he probably doesn't remember them. The hands that ARE interesting, I'm sure he remember.
