Negreanu v.s. Williams, heads up

[Elaboration]

FWIW I actually thought David Williams played the better heads up match last night and probably would have won, save for Daniel catching huge cards.

Early in heads up action David had Daniel visably shaken. He was so routinely checkraised, he began checking through a lot of hands I think he would normally bet. If my memory serves it wasn't until Daniel's A2 snapped David's QQ that he regained a litte momentum. However, I noticed that after the next commercial break David had regained a decent chip lead.[img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Granted, David goofed big time against in the KK hand. It was apparent Daniel was going all the way after committing 3/4ths of his stack. In the final hand he just got unlucky, having hit a K with Daniel holding AA again.

In the end both played well, but I didn't see as big a gap in skill as one might think before watching the action.

Thoughts?
