Just watched this doc and I can't even believe there wasn't a single mention of free-rolling all tournaments on poker stars dime. Shame on you Daniel. Taking credit for being a world beater when a multi-billion dollar company covers all of your entry fees.

but arent all sponsored pros like that?

Do they really cover all of it? Even when he rebuys 5 times in a 100k event?

Or the one million one drop? I always thought he had a budget.

Would have been a more truthful documentary if they at least touched on sponsorship. The way it's edited it makes it seem like he accrued his wealth entirely from poker. Just comes off like it was made by a DN fanboy instead of someone who respects the game and DN place within it.

All of his accrued wealth IS from poker. Pokerstars do not sponsor him because of anything else. When Michael Phelps is interviewed, he doesn't bang on about how Omega helped him put another floor on this house....

The documentary is just that, a documentary about DN, not a covert advert for pokerstars. I say they did well to make a film where they did not feature heavily at all. Its possibly why its on netflix, which in turn must help drive traffic.

This. And what difference does it make how he pays his buy-in? How does that somehow take away from his poker playing ability? You may badmouth the documentary by saying it was done by "fan boys" but your comments wreak of a jealous troll.

It's a complete myth that the websites pay all a player's buyins. Pokerstars' deal with people is the same as any other sponsor. They pay him a salary to represent the site and SOME of his buyins are included for pokerstars sponsored events such as EPT main events and such when they are contractually obligating him to play in them. He's not obligated to fire 5 bullets in a 100k buyin tourney.

He gets paid an astronomical amount of money, but it's not in tournament buyins. Why wouldn't he just gamble it up ridiculously in a re-entry tournament if he isn't paying the buyins?
