Ah yes, who can forget about the fun completion of winning the vote from the people who subscribed to Bluff in Trolls abound on social media, of course, but this anonymous poker insider and business expert is way too well-versed in both to be ignored as such.

Not everyone was dead-set against Negreanu. However, some even asked to participate in the next set of votes, Jonathan Little among them….

When signing up through VIP-Grinders. Jamie Kerstetter, a poker pro and commentator, made a sarcastic comment about the Negreanu incident.

David Lappin, host of the popular Chip Race poker podcast, has long been critical of Negreanu, and explained why. It sends the wrong message. Poker deserves better ambassadors.

I used to like Daniel until he was getting ribbed by Mike the mouth, his friend and his only comeback was a nasty remark about mike borrowing money from him.

This his point. You want to watch a bunch of people sit around the table and not say squat? This is fucking entertainment and the point of watching.

Polk shoved and Negreanu quickly called with but had been rivered by. That pot was eclipsed the next time stacks went in.

Polk called again, and the river was the. Polk's advantage was nearly gone when they played another three-bet pot, this time with Polk the aggressor, and flopped.

Polk vs. Share: Facebook Twitter. Under the negotiated rules of the Heads-Up Duel, the player who is behind at the halfway point of the match has the option of ending any further play.

The question thus becomes what level does a player have to be behind to say no mas? While Negreanu is well known for his willingness for action, seeing more than a half million dollars separated from your wallet cannot be a comfortable feeling.

Then again, it could all switch around very quickly. While both Negreanu and Polk are known for titanic accomplishments at the felt, they've gone about building their legends in very different ways.

Though Negreanu came up as a cash player in the s, he has become known as one of the best tournament players of all time.

While his 41 recorded first-place live finishes can attest to a heads-up game that's just fine, that's not the facet of poker for which he's known.

Quite the opposite for Polk. While he once built up a bankroll as a full-ring grinder as "WCGRider" on PokerStars, he'd have been just another anonymous mid-stakes pro if not for a switch to heads-up games in Polk proceeded to become one of the most successful heads-up cash players in history, even besting the legendary Ben Sulsky in a famous challenge match.

Given Polk's vast edge in experience at heads-up no-limit hold'em, it's no surprise he's been installed as a significant favorite by PokerShares , where's been installed as just shy of a 5-to-1 favorite.
