The Negreanu vs. Polk High Stakes Feud is slowly entering its final stages, with about five thousand hands left to play.
Having a substantial lead of over $700K over DNegs and with an unspecified (but likely significant) amount riding on the side bets, Polk has switched his button strategy to include some limps in his range.
Negreanu, who has a lot of catching up to do in terms of buy-ins, was not happy to see this new approach that aims to lower variance. So, in response, he decided to slow down the play speed by stalling.
During the latest session on January 27, Negreanu took 20 seconds on pretty much every decision, no matter how small or irrelevant.
Completely pathetic showing from @RealKidPoker today
Tanking 20 seconds to open, tanking 20 seconds to check flop,… https://t.co/C9GsMf87Vy— Doug 'Lock It Up' Polk (@DougPolkVids) January 27, 2021
Frustrated, Polk asked Phil Galfond, who both players agreed upon as the arbitrator, to chime in and make the ruling.
Unfortunately for Doug, Galfond could not do much, as players did not cover this type of scenario in their pre-match arrangement, so Daniel was allowed to continue, if he so chose.
The two returned to the match and, eventually, Polk decided to abandon the limp strategy, and came back to his earlier raise or fold approach.
While Negreanu thinks he is in the right to use the time allotted by WSOP.com in any way he sees fit, which he technically is, the situation divided the poker community, as many found Canadian’s actions to be against the spirit of the challenge.
On the other hand, Negreanu seems to have gotten what he wanted, as Polk announced he would give up on limping buttons as he is looking to wrap up the match as soon as possible, which will be hard to do if they only get to play 100 to 200 hands per session.

HeroPoker was a Philippines-focused online poker room.[1]
Established in January 2011 by founder and CEO David Jung, who previously worked for Pokerstars as the “Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Senior Business Development Manager” in 2007 and “Regional Marketing Director of Asia” in 2008. Jung at the time, set up the largest poker room in Asia that hosted APPT and Macau Poker Cup, which he established in his time with PokerStars at the Grand Lisboa Casino in Macau.[2] Jung left Pokerstars in March 2010 to set up his own online gaming company under the “Hero” brand in January 2011.[3]

At the time of its establishment on January 2011, HeroPoker accepted players from United States. On May 25, 2011, Jung announced its exit of US market. On December 20, 2012, HeroPoker made its exit from the Merge Gaming Network while transferring their entire player base to the Merge Gaming Network.[4] HeroPoker departed among a wave of departures from the Merge Gaming Network. CEO David Jung stated: 'Simply put, Hero and Merge weren’t going the same direction any longer and it just didn’t make sense on both sides to continue, sometimes in business and most times in life, things work out like this, but again, the priority has been the players and in this respect, Merge has put the players first in this transition process as well, so I’m thankful for that.'[4]
After leaving Merge Gaming Network, HeroPoker obtained a gaming license in the Philippines. It operated an online poker website until April 2017. The website went offline in May 2017.
