Yep, We Are Still Talking About the WSOP Player of the Year
A week ago Daniel Negreanu thought he had won the WSOP Player of the Year accolade for the third time in his career.
However, there was an administrative error, which stripped the title from Negreanu and saw the POY title awarded it to the much loved Robert Campbell.
In an upset which has been gracefully handled by Negreanu, it hasn’t stopped the haters from accusing Negreanu that he knew the numbers were baked all along.
Negreanu has jumped on the podcast circuit to tell his side of the story as well as updating his Full Contact Poker blog.
Here we round up some of the analysis and interviews on the matter.
Negreanu is interviewed by PokerNews’ Sarah Herring as he breaks down his feelings on the matter.
Here is Negreanu on the DAT poker podcast:
