Daniel Negreanu has provided the backing to Phil Ivey over the latest controversy. Ivey, who said he was “deeply disappointed and embarrassed” by the online poker site’s slow action to allow Americans access to their online poker accounts, is also suing Full Tilt for alleged damages done to his reputation by their lack of positive activity, only for the company to counter by suggesting the 35-year-old’s comments are “sanctimonious” and his upcoming lawsuit “frivolous” in an angry response.

Daniel Negreanu showed his anger about the inclusion of Tekingtamgac in the WPT. ekintamgac was disqualified from last year’s Partouche Poker Tour Main Event after making all the way to the final table via cheating, reportedly.

Daniel Negreanu won a rematch for $26k against Blom. Blom was the leading player at the beginning of the match. When 1200 hands were played, Blom was in the lead for $100k. He was still in the lead for $120k after 100 more hands were played. Many excited spectators thought that Blom will continue to be in the lead and will finally beat Negreanu. But this was not to be because “Kid Poker” started playing his miracles toward the end of the match. In a surprising turn of events, Negreanu put himself in the lead when there were just 350 hands left to play.
