This week, in case you missed it, featured a WSOP Twitch storm as Daniel Negreanu was briefly banned from the poker streaming service after offering to insert a poker player’s teeth where he’d have no natural use for them.
In the ensuing days, Negreanu has defended himself as a husband protecting his wife, Amanda Negreanu, answered various calls for his head and defended blasphemy, his licence to rant and his Twitch record among other things. Add into that he’s cashed in 15 WSOP events and it’s been a busy week for Kid Poker. So when Doug Polk called out his behaviour in the latest of several bizarre social media posts that come across more as a call for fans than Negreanu’s head, it’s been a week of beef for the famous vegan player Negreanu.
Polk doesn’t just want Negreanu’s head on a plate – although, imagining the YouTube views, he might require it – Polk wants a ‘heads-up for rolls’ clash.
These match-ups always sound way more exciting than they end up being, so before you buy up your nearest 7/11’s entire supply of sweet ‘n’ salted popcorn, think back to the Cate Hall vs. Mike Dentale ‘clash’, which had all the rumble in the jungle of a petting zone at a hamster sanctuary.
