Dear Cardplayer & HendonMob,Your player database has a GLARING error. In the results for Daniel Negreanu, you have a MISTAKE.Tournament: 2003 BELLAGIO Five Diamond World Poker Classic you have Daniel Negreanu in 4th place winning - get ready for this - $20 dollars!5th got $15,059 and 3rd got $33,465, so I am pretty sure Daniel won more than $20.Here is the link to the mistake in cardplayer:Five Diamond 2003 cardplayer ReportPlease adjust this error since it directly impacts your total money list.Sincerely,"flintsword"I spotted the typo in cardplayer database and sure enough, it was duplicated in the Hendonmob database.I thought it was pretty funny, ... imagine, Daniel Negreanu getting 4th place in the 2003 Five Diamond at the Bellagio, ... 5th place gets a cheque for $33,465 ... Daniel gets 4th, and they hand him a twenty dollar bill.Hilarious.

Update: The email Cardplayer supplies to send errors to does not exist, so my message bounced back. I sent it AGAIN and waiting for this gross error to be corrected.Daniel is number 2 on the Cardplayer All Time Money List, and number 1 on the HendenMob All Time Money List, mainly because Cardplayer does not include certain types of tournaments. They are close though.No corrections yet, DN is still showing as being handed a twenty dollar bill for coming in 4th in the 2003 Bellagio Five Diamond tournament.Still hilarious, but I have a twisted sense of humour.

Nah, they made him a deal for $20 so that he could be recorded as the 4th place finisher.

The Hendon Mob site has corrected the mistake!Sincerely,"flintsword"

Cardplayer STILL has Daniel Negreanu winning twenty bucks in the 2003 Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic!I realize that $20,000 plus or minus does not make any difference but when DN is duking it out for top spot in the money standings, the addition should at least be correct.Also, in the world of bragging rights and endorsements, staying at number two because of a known clerical error is silly.

Unreal, Cardplay still has Daniel winning $20 bucks in the: 2003 BELLAGIO Five Diamond World Poker Classic whenhe came in 4th place!Recall that 5th got $15,059 and 3rd got $33,465, so I am pretty sure Daniel won more than $20.Here is the link to the mistake in cardplayer:Five Diamond 2003 cardplayer ReportThe Hendon Mob has fixed it but Cardplayer could not care less, and Daniel is a contributing writer!This is turning into a sad thread .... but hey, news is news.

"inconceivable"

[flintsword]

Page 3 of Cardplayer's list of Daniel Negreanu's poker tournament resultsIn a frenzy of technical brilliance, Cardplayer redesigned their entire website.That said, Cardplayer wins the "Donkey Data Prize 2006" ... ... for still maintaining that Daniel won $20 for third place in the 2003 BELLAGIO Five Diamond World Poker Classic.Daniel is "only" a contributing writer and one of the top people in the list. The error is glaring and obvious. Wake up and smell the coffee Cardplayer.

I just got back from Vegas and there was the Cardplayer Booth (hehehehe ) so I check it out and some guy (not Cardplayer booth staff) is going on about how the database is the nuts at Cardplayer, etc, etc.This was fun.So I say "If the Cardplayer database is so hot, how come one of the top players is still down as winning $20 for a final table event at the Bellagio in 2003." Then I show them the mistake. The Cardplayer dude makes a note of it and we will see DN Cardplayer dollar total jump a little in the coming months, I hope.

By the way, I just checked the link and it still says he won $20 in that tourney.
