Daniel Negreanu vs. Doug Polk – High Stakes Feud – Sessions 23, 24 & 25

The High Stakes Feud between arch-rivals Daniel Negreanu and Doug Polk played out three sessions this week. The duo has played 25 sessions so far, with Polk ahead for $616,722.56 with 14,500 hands of the 25,000-hand challenge in the books.

We have to hand it to Negreanu though, the six-time bracelet winner was stuck almost seven-figures at one point but that didn`t deter him from quitting the challenge at the half-way stage. The decision seems to have worked out well for the Canadian pro, who is on a four-day winning streak.

In Session #24, Negreanu cut back his losses for $98,579.92 after 750 hands to reduce his overall deficit to $644,668.36.

Session #25 was played across 750 hands, and Negreanu booked his fourth consecutive profitable session. He won $27,945.80 through the day to reduce his overall deficit to $616,722.56.
