It was the last thing Danielle Anderson was expecting when ex Full Tilt head honcho Howard Lederer came and sat at her table at the WSOP Main Event on Monday.
OMG SHE’S REPLACED BY HOWARD LEDERER! This can’t be real life. I think I’m actually going to be physically sick. #WSOP— Danielle Andersen (@dmoongirl) July 11, 2016
Anderson was a prolific online player before Black Friday and has since moved to playing on the cash game circuit.
He hasn’t caused enough pain? He has to show his face & be a constant reminder to the worst time of my fucking life? So fucked.— Danielle Andersen (@dmoongirl) July 11, 2016
Not prepared to remain silent, Anderson asked Lederer questions most had been thinking:
Me: 'does it not bother you it’s physically painful for people to see you? Like I actually am sick to my stomach right now bc you’re here?’— Danielle Andersen (@dmoongirl) July 11, 2016
Howard nods & quietly says 'yeah it bothers me.’ Me: 'then why are you here? The least you can do is leave us alone.’ No response.— Danielle Andersen (@dmoongirl) July 11, 2016
Bagged 69k. More importantly, didn’t get arrested or 86’d & handled myself w/ as much dignity as I possibly could under circumstances.🙁— Danielle Andersen (@dmoongirl) July 11, 2016
Anderson has also appeared in the documentary Bet, Raise, Fold that raised from the ashes of Black Friday. This was her last tweet on the matter and parting shot to Lederer.
I’m all about making the best of shitty situations. Parting gift for all. Sup @howardhlederer? Looking good. #WSOP https://t.co/Qg2WFKGsKc— Danielle Andersen (@dmoongirl) July 11, 2016
Davy and Negreanu talk about everything from what makes a legend a “legend”, how the political landscape in America is terrifying, Racism, Sexism, Altruism, how having an opinion these days, especially on Twitter, can be dangerous (although Negreanu doesn’t care) and why marijuana should be legalized. And that’s only half of it.
One lucky winner will receive 3% of Doug “WCGRider” Polk’s World Series of Poker Main Event Action if they follow and retweet him on Twitter. It’s as simple as that.
Doug starts Day 2C on Thursday with a 110k stack.
Polk is having a good WSOP so far, as he and teammate Ryan Fee captured WSOP gold in Event #61 $1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold’em.
This is shaping up to be a good run for Polk who also recently released his new podcast “This Week on 2+2” covering all the latest Polker news as well as having run a successful first event for his new venture Upswing Poker.
The meet and greet was held inside the Encore Players Club at Wynn Las Vegas allowing Upswing Community members, poker pros and industry professionals to celebrate the launch of UpswingPoker.com —a poker training site co-founded by Polk, Fee and Matt Colletta.
These old people rail Ivey for the entire day every year???? What in the hell 🤕🤕🤒🤒 https://t.co/xU90jfCuRQ— GTÒ Pápi ♠️♥️♣️ (@Joeingram1) July 11, 2016
If you’ve been anywhere near Twitter recently you may have noticed that it is a fairly tempestuous place at the moment—especially if you’re part of the poker community and happen to have an opinion on any subject, poker related or not.
Xuan Liu summed it up best, when she said last month:
Coming on Twitter these days legit makes me anxious. Anxious if I don’t say something, anxious if I do.— Xuan Liu (@xxl23) June 29, 2016
Since Liu’s tweet (is she challenging an inner psychic ??) we have seen many Twitter spats.
One of the most notable was Cate Hall and co. facing off against 888’s poker ambassador Jessica Dawley—when the latter took to Twitter to see if there were any females who she didn’t yet hate or who had slept their way to the top of poker as MTV awaited. That didn’t go down well and the tweet has since been removed.
Since then Marty Derbyshire from PokerNews called Hall a “Social Justice Warrior” (she seems to attract a Twitter argument like a moth to a flame) among other things in a recent op ed.
A whole world of pain ensued—including the op ed being edited.
By all means, let’s save the mud-slinging and personal attacks for the medium to which only you have access. https://t.co/AE3vap2KHN— Cate Hall (@catehall) July 02, 2016
Posting that @PokerNews article is the worst decision I’ve witnessed this WSOP and I saw a woman sunbathing in the dog relief area last week— Jamie Kerstetter (@JamieKerstetter) July 02, 2016
.@MartyDerby That’s your MO, right? Write something petty/venomous & edit when people react. Try doing your fucking job before publishing.— Cate Hall (@catehall) July 02, 2016
If @pokernews attacked me everytime I made a bad joke like they did @catehall today, I would be totally out of business.— Matt Glantz (@MattGlantz) July 02, 2016
I am open to hearing the other side of the argument regarding my take in this op-ed. For everything else, the shop is now closed.— Martin Derbyshire (@MartyDerby) July 02, 2016
And that’s only some of the Tweets.
Although the spat seemed over, over the weekend, Hall took to Twitter with this—one for Derbyshire me thinks.

Even Joey Ingram is noticing how heated Twitter is getting—check out what he has to say in his latest new-style pod with Adrian Fenix.
What do you think? Is Twitter getting more agro? Are you damned if you do? Damned if you don’t? Have an opinion?

#AskThePokerPros do you still think you are the best poker player in the world? Or how high would you rank yourself, top 3, top 10 etc?😄— Sander Aamodt (@sanderaamodt) July 08, 2016
#AskThePokerPros Phil, do you enjoy the banter with those trying to “egg” you on or do you prefer a quiet table so you can focus? Thanks!— Dan Picard (@twoblindrefs) July 08, 2016

Despite finishing second in Event #60 against David Prociak (but don’t feel too bad for him, Shack-Harris won Event #51 last week for $894,300) he absolutely won best-dressed player, and still walked away with $96,750 in prize winnings.
When you are sitting a Final Table and bust out in third place, seeing your habibi getting down on one knee to propose is probably the last thing you are expecting.
