Mike and Daniel discuss a range of topics including Daniel's upcoming heads-up challenge with Doug Polk, the betting odds, some politics and take live calls from listeners.

Polk vs Negreanu is the poker feud that never ends. They are gearing up to play a massive heads-up battle, and Doug Polk is firing shots left and right at anyone who gets in his way (on Twitter). We break the whole thing down, preflop charts and all, and give our hot takes on all of it. We also talk about mid-cashing tournaments, doing your taxes, and answer a few of your poker questions. F Norman Chad.

#DanielNegreanu #PhilipDeFranco #AConversationWith

In the latest edition of the PokerNews Podcast, Sarah Herring, Jeff Platt, and Chad Holloway get pumped for the summer's World Series of Poker online bracelet events.

Cousin Sal and the Degenerate Trifecta go over Tom Brady’s performance in "The Match 2" (00:45), NHL Stanley Cup odds (14:15), NFL Coach of the Year odds (22:45), and the combination of sports they’d like back (32:00). Then, professional poker player Daniel Negreanu joins the show to discuss how the pandemic has affected Las Vegas and the gambling world (40:00), and how the NHL playoffs may shake out (01:00:30).

In this special episode of Poker Stories, we revisit two of our most popular early guests to catch up on what's happened in their lives over the last three years.  

Barry Greenstein appeared on the podcast back in November of 2017. The Poker Hall of Fame inductee and two-time World Poker Tour champion has stayed pretty busy despite his age of 65, and has had a high cash rate at the World Series of Poker for the last two years, even finishing with 13 in one summer while looking to add to his three career bracelets.  

Daniel Negreanu was featured in an episode in March of 2017, and has experienced quite a bit of personal change in the time since. Although he was passed at the top of the all-time money list by Justin Bonomo and then Bryn Kenney, he did add several million to his earnings and now sits at $41 million for his career. At the 2019 WSOP, he played well enough to earn his third Player of the Year title, only to be slowrolled by a clerical error. He also managed to marry longtime poker host Amanda Leatherman, while also ending his 12-year relationship with PokerStars. He is now a team pro at GGPoker.  

Highlights from this interview include why jail isn't scary, a time for self-improvement, poker germs, finding the spots at the table, a pain in the eyes, Alice Cooper hair, the poker rope-a-dope strategy, slap boxing, an outgoing introvert, reading The Godfather, online poker sponsorships, what's really good for the players, Andre Agassi at the 1999 US Poker Championship, double hoop earrings, being mistaken for Phil, Scott Seiver wins the psychological war, gender swaps, and will the WSOP happen in the fall?
