Eric Persson Congratulates Daniel Negreanu On Kicking His Ass In High Stakes Duel 4

Yesterday, poker pros Daniel Negreanu and Eric Persson locked horns at a High Stakes Duel 4 $100,000 heads-up match! It was a true war, with DNegs emerging victorious after finally beating Persson.

The heads-up match lasted for around three hours, which saw a lot of drama, action, and entertainment unfold between the two rivals. The fun started when DNegs arrived in a muscle suit and a tank top, while Persson arrived in a black body-fitting long-sleeved t-shirt that appeared like swimming gear. That’s not all; Negreanu also brought two huge hand placards showing the middle finger.

After a few interesting hands were played before DNegs finally beat Persson. Negreanu raised to 1,500 from the button with A ♠ K ♦ , while Persson 3-bet to 3,500. The six-time WSOP bracelet winner further 4-bet to 8,000. Persson immediately raised all-in with his remaining 18,200 chips. Dnegs, with the chip lead, called. The flop ran out T ❤ 7 ♠ J ❤ J ♦ 6 ♠.

I enjoyed the match Eric and sorry to hear there won’t be a rematch

I guess that means… seat open for who’s next?

I believe the rules state that a challenger must step up in the next 30 days and I imagine there will be a line 😂 https://t.co/b7P4e6xlS3

Well, DNegs sure did rub salt on Persson’s wounds, but it was merely a banter between the two pros. Will Persson rematch Negreanu and take a sweet revenge? Well, let’s wait and watch!
