If she didn't say anything like this, I guess I don't understand why you said you "fear" that this wouldn't be happening if Negraneau had made the same moves and had narrated precisely what cards he put his opponent on.

My sense is that the different reaction would be because of the narration, not the identity of the player (though it would also make sense that a player with a decade(s) long reputation would be given more deference than a newer player).

Daniel Negreanu is a player who is renowned for making insane reads like the GP is roleplaying, narrating them live. GP is—I believe—saying that if Negreanu had made the same play and narrated it this way, nobody would have batted an eye.

I think the reality is she just made a shitty decision in the moment that happened to play out well. Anyone who's played poker long enough has done the same dozens of times.
