Doug Polk's Challenge to Daniel Negreanu: Heads-Up NLHE Showdown (25k Hands) Doug Polk's Challenge to Daniel Negreanu: Heads-Up NLHE Showdown (25k Hands)

07-28-2020 , 05:15 PM
Tuesday afternoon Las Vegas time, three-time WSOP bracelet winner Doug Polk challenged GG Poker sponsored pro Daniel Negreanu to a "heads up for rolls grudge match."

Polk tweeted that this match should be played over the duration of 25,000 hands (4-tabling), and that it would only happen if his challenge post received a minimum of 1,000 re-tweets.

The challenge was an apparent response to a plea by Joey Ingram that Doug and Daniel compete against each other on the felt.




Will update this post when/if there is a response from Daniel.

Doug's original tweet has already been RT'd over 800 times.

Mayor Polk's act is getting old.

Despite professing he's going away, he's still here.

Why would Negreanu agree to this? Probably gets his ass kicked.

Why would tournament specialist Daniel agree to play HU specialist Doug Polk HU?

Daniel should challenge Thomas (SrslySirius) as he’s the one who stands behind Doug, poking him with a stick with one hand and jerking him off with the other.

I knew Doug would come back!
But I doubt Daniel would agree to a 4 table hunl
Battle. Doug probably has an edge here.

But in a live game Daniel has the edge imo.

UPDATE: Doug's original tweet has now surpassed 1,000 RTs -- and Doug has formally issued his challenge: 25k hands, HUNL, stakes unknown.

"I am hoping to leave with both his money, and my teeth still in my mouth," Doug posted.

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Eric Forehlich replied to Doug's challenge post by asking, "if [Daniel] agreed to a high stakes HU NL match, would you agree to any other HU matches in other games vs him?"

Even if it was mixed games Polk would be a huge favorite. He has a lot of experience in hu dynamics.

Maybe if it was only the stud games in hu format it could be an interesting match.

So Doug thinks he can only beat Danny at HUNL?

My only opinion on the matter is hell yess LFG

Edit: my other opinion is these two need to squash it somehow. Be it a HU match, boxing match, street fight, whatever. Just duke it out in one way or another and be cool or at least cordial from then on like how it should be done

He knows that he cannot beat him in any other format. That's almost like a bow to him that he said that. He doesn't really hate him imo. And he wants some action.

Doug supposedly beat David Oppenheim in 8game HU and David quit him. He was also supposedly looking for more live action at the highest stakes but couldn't get any. I think he's received mix game coaching from JLamma too.

That might tip the favor to old man DNegs over Doug Pork then. Haven't seen Doug since SIP either.
