Daniel Negreanu suffered another six-figure loss to Doug Polk on Wednesday. But the real story here is that he once again went into a cussing tirade out of frustration following the rough session.
Negreanu has a recent history of lashing out on live-stream. This past summer, he threatened to feed a viewer's teeth "anally" over insulting comments directed at his wife, Amanda Negreanu, during a live-stream. That led to some backlash from the poker community.
The GGPoker ambassador was once again not very ambassadorial following Day 17, in which he lost $101,000 to Polk. He trails by nearly $800,000 now in 8,970 hands. And the mounting losses appear to be taking a toll on the six-time WSOP bracelet winner.
Unibet poker pro David Lappin, host of The Chip Race podcast, is openly anti-Negreanu. He was quick to post an edited version of Negreanu's epic meltdown during his post-game interview on the GGPoker YouTube channel.
"Everything was going okay after the grind back, it's like every f-----g session I get stuck," Daniel Negreanu said in one of the videos. "It's been like six sessions in a row, so clearly I'm f-----g annoyed."
He then wondered if he had been vile enough during the interview.
"Have I cursed enough yet or do I need some more? It's f-----g here we go again cause every motherf-----g session it starts like that .... I know what f-----g went wrong, Patrick. I f-----g know what went wrong. The video tonight is going to be special. I haven't put a f-----g all-in beat on this guy once, not once. There's not one f-----g hand, not one hand in this whole f-----g all-in thing where I've had the worst hand and made the best hand. Not one f-----g hand out of 8, 9-thousand hands."
"I've had jacks against tens, queens against eights, stick it up your a--. Holy f--k, dude," he continued.
Negreanu then stopped himself short of threatening to feed someone in the YouTube chat their teeth rectally, perhaps a sign that he's learned from the backlash over the summer.
"Any motherf----r in the chat who says you should have folded the ace-king, if I see you, well I can't say it. If I see you, I'll just say thank you for your feedback," he joked.
Things can't go much worse for Daniel Negreanu
On Wednesday, Negreanu never could get much going. He turned a straight in a massive pot early on only to watch his opponent river a flush to ship an $80,000 pot. As has been the case recently, he was down big early and forced to fight his way back. But he was unable to do so and lost $101,000, the sixth time in the past nine sessions he's dropped six figures in a session.
Polk most certainly is running hot and he's been luckier on all-in bets. But he's also simply out-classing Daniel Negreanu. The Upswing Poker founder has dominated the match, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone. After all, Polk has long been considered one of the best heads-up no-limit hold'em players in the world.
Negreanu and Polk each deposited $1 million into their WSOP.com accounts prior to the start of the grudge match. With Negreanu now down by $784,560, it's becoming increasingly likely he'll soon be forced to make another deposit.
