Negreanu is a joke. In an actual match like the one against Polk he is getting smashed hard and it seems he's been on the lucky side so far.
Proven wrong already. DN! DN!

I was merely disputing his poker abilities. Him beating some sub1k elo chess player is nothing impressive.
You mean at poker? You think Negreanu is bad at poker?! LOL!
Yeah that is the messed up thing. Most of these famous players you see on TV aren't even in the top 1000. When Negreanu was a top player the game was in its infancy strategy wise, imagine chess 500 years ago. That is why someone like Doug Polk who was retired for several years just came back to play him and took 1.2 million off him in a matter of weeks. In poker the best players in the world are mostly unknown, nobody cares about them and the fame and the spotlight is reserved for "funny" guys like Negreanu. Sad but true.
Wow Negreanu got destroyed by someone who fell to scholar's mate. Once I can understand but two games in a row despite having opening preparation advantage and coaching.
xQc has practised and been coached longer than Daniel, but regardless of you being wrong about who had the edge, it's definitely likely xQc will win the whole thing, based on me still perceiving Negreanu as very strong vs the pool.
