Daniel Negreanu vs Doug Polk (5 Viewers)

[Regularjohn]

Since they're playing $200/$400, Doug would lose $600 every two hands or $300 per hand. There are 7122 hands left, so if Doug folded the remainder of the challenge, he would lose $2.136M and be down $1.134M overall.

I was interested in doing the calculation since it was relevant in Phil Galfond's match vs VeniVidi, but Doug has already stated that he won't fold to victory. I'm unsure how much $$$ he has in side bets, though.

He won't say, which I can understand. The only public side bet he has is with helmuth. I'm gonna guess he has a lot invested in sidebets, in addition to the rest of the upswing folks. Wouldn't surprise me if he had another million invested in sidebets. He was very confident going in (rightly so).

I love an insta karma just like anyone. DNegs destroyed Doug in todays session to the tune of $385K. Looks like hes back in this and have a match on our hands again. Kudos to DNegs for the biggest single winning session in the challenge so far.

LOL at chance just giving up. I'm sure he was trying to minimize his losses

Still 10k hands to go. He probably had a 1M stop loss and hit it. Looking forward to Phil vs Jungle.

Same, will be shocked if it happens tho. And I'm sure Bill Perkins will throw in the towel lol

I wonder how Polk would fare playing just one session on-line and the rest live?

Dead meat.

 

[Regularjohn]

Dead meat.

yep. but doug would have never agreed to that and it would have been kind of pointless. Everyone knows dnegs is a good poker player live, part of the challenge was to see how he would hold up online.

and 24k hands live would take forever lol

Chance confirmed he sold a $1M package and was planning on quitting if he was down that much. Agreed that Phil vs Jungle will be interesting - I have no idea how rusty Jungle is at HU PLO. I'm especially looking forward to the live broadcast of Phil vs Brandon Adams if they're able to complete 40hrs of live play in the near future.

Not sure if posted already but love Polk trolling Dnegs

where did you read that?

 

[stellrnebula]

He did a quick interview with the stream commentators (including Phi's wife, ha) around the 13:30 mark

I just tuned in, but apparently Daniel has been tanking every decision today. Doug is tilted, ranting about it on twitter. Then Doug just sat out, apparently waiting for a ruling from Phil Galfond on the tanking issue?
The boys are getting chippy

This is gold from DNegs.

So I didn't see any of Monday's session, but apparently Doug jut limped every pot. So Daniel's tanking is a response to Doug's limping?
Anyway, apparently just Gafond told them to go play, so they came back, played two hands, then Doug sat out for a couple minutes again.
What a shitshow.

 

[BGinGA]

I hate to repeat myself, but seems appropriate....

They're both asshats with very inflated views of their self worth and entitlement.

 

[Regularjohn]

What a shit show indeed lol

I like how galfond said "just go play". Like, what did they think he was going to say? Put one of them in timeout?

 

[Meddler2]

So what were today's results?

 

[Regularjohn]

Nobody won today.

My poor attempt at humor that it's such a shit show no one won. Ie telling daddy Phil galfond that someone was mean.

They are just trying to angle/tilt each other to throw each other of their respective games. Old school mind games

dnegs -100k on the session.
