DNegs Attacks The Irish Duo Behind Award-Winning Podcast

Daniel Negreanu finally lost the plot in a long-running feud with the Irish duo behind the award-winning Chip Race podcast, resorting to what has been described as an āunhinged potty-mouthed twitter meltdownā ā¦
The latest salvo in the back-and-forth Twitter spat revolved around the GPI Awards, where the story of Negreanuās reaction to Dara OāKearney and David K Lappinās big win of the podcast category went somewhat viral in the poker worldā¦
Of course there is a background to the less-than-gracious reaction by Kid Poker.
In January, Negreanu was pulled up by many about a series of tweets that seemed to call into question some of the attributes a poker player should, and shouldnāt, possess⦠The Chip Race duo of Lappin and OāKearney most vociferousā¦
A series of blogs and tweets followed that again criticised the PokerStars man, ultimately leading to the GPI Awards-inspired battle.
Negreanuās expletive-laden Twitter meltdown wasnāt his only response to what he felt were continuous Irish attacks on him.
His DAT podcast discussion of the same issues saw him claim he had āinside knowledgeā of the GPI voting process.
Negreanu stated:
āIām pretty sure I know what happened with this one⦠I donāt want to reveal because I have an inside sourceā¦some voices are louder than others and convinced people to voteā¦"
Of the Chip Race hosts he stated:
āI donāt think those guys are good dudes, and theyāre so full of shitā¦they continually attack me, thatās like ātrollABCāā¦ā
Negreanuās full take on Lappin and OāKearney and their award victory can be heard here starting at the 14:35 mark.
This in turn led to the Chip Race men taking to Twitter to question Negreanuās paymastersā¦
It seems unlikely that this Canadian-Irish battle will be resolved any time soon, with others piling in on the slanging matchā¦
