There's no love lot between Daniel Negreanu and Shaun Deeb! This week’s podcast – Episode 145 with your hosts Remko Rinkema and Brent Hanks – features the biggest name in the game. Daniel Negreanu, a.k.a. ‘Kid Poker’ only needs gentle prodding from Remko and Brent to respond to the latest developments in his bitter Twitter feud with. Shaun Deeb protesting. Deeb knowing about this law managed to make it all the way to the tables and even played a few hands dressed in full drag. It was until the first break that Deeb realized that he might have gone too far and was offending some people by being in drag. With this not his intention he immediately changed into his normal attire.

The legend of Bryn Kenney grew considerably a few months back, when he finished 'second' in the Triton Million for more than $20 million — he actually won the biggest prize after a heads-up deal with Aaron Zang. In doing so, he also made himself poker's No. 1 all-time tournament money winner.

And if that, along with his eccentric fashion choices, hasn't been enough to endear him to poker fans over the years, Kenney added further to his legend with a recent turn on Joey Ingram's show. There, Kenney proclaimed he had 'about half' of his net worth on the line in the Triton Million, between his own piece of his buy-in and his numerous side bets.

'Don't try this at home,' he said with a laugh.

Deeb Takes Exception

While that may be easy for Kenney to laugh about now, and something poker players who take big shots can use as fuel for their own dreams, at least one person didn't see the humor in Kenney's aggressive bankroll play.

Shaun Deeb saw the situation a bit differently. In his mind, Kenney was simply gambling degenerately with money he couldn't afford to pay if he lost.

High-Stakes Pros Come to Kenney's Defense

Kenney has been playing high stakes for more than a decade, thriving both live and online to become one of the true mainstays of high-stakes poker. Many of his peers, seeing Deeb's criticism, came to Kenney's defense.

Jason Koon said that while Kenney's bankroll choices can be questionable, he's always been reliable when it's time to make good on his word.

Fellow high-stakes regulars Timothy Adams, David Peters and Adrian Mateos also rebuked Deeb.

When Christian Harderpointed out that Kenney could have included the side bets in his overall assessment of his risk and that the side bets could furthermore have been staked, Kenney called it 'very on point.'

For Deeb's part, he hinted that he had other evidence of Kenney's financial irresponsibility, but he indicated he couldn't share them publicly.

An Old-Fashioned Heads Up for Rolls Offer?

According to Deeb, the story ends with a tale as old as poker time: a beef between two players getting settled with an offer for a heads-up match. Once a fairly common occurrence online, it doesn't happen much nowadays, although Mike Dentale and Cate Hallfired one up a few years back.

In any case, while the furor from his tweet about Kenney was still simmering, Deeb said he received an offer from Kenney to duke it out, either with fists or chips.

Safe to say that's a match many in the poker world would love to see, but the more likely outcome is that each player continues to crush on his own path in poker, and nothing further comes of this dust-up.

On Sunday night, Four-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Shaun Deeb tweeted that he is currently hospitalized with COVID-19. Deeb recently visited Mexico as he participated in PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP).

WCOOP legend Deeb was looking to claim his ninth record leveling title but failed to do so. He exited the tournament at 7th place, earning just $28,596 for his efforts rather than the moment of online poker history that he surely craved.

So I’ve been keeping this quiet last week and a half but I have COVID now and I think I’m going to need your guys help making a tweet or two go viral so I don’t have to get hospitalized in Mexico

For many this global pandemic has brought significant changes in people’s life. Deeb is one of the more prominent members of the poker community to be diagnosed with COVID-19, a disease that has so far been detected in 31.2 million people worldwide, including 5.56 million in India. Many believe the actual number of infected to be much higher due to undetected cases.

Deeb had kept the news regarding his health status for a week and a half. Since the announcement, he has been posting regular updates on his twitter handle. He did note that he was having connection issues joining WCOOP events, with PokerStars displaying a message that he could not play real money gaming from his location.

At the time of being admitted into the hospital, Deeb had made multiple Day 2s in upcoming WCOOP events. “I will say this wcoop grind while sick was on a whole nother level for me I may lost a chunk but I played the best at like 10% Strength sleeping during every 5m break everyday.”

Deeb appears to be in good spirits, even making light of the situation he finds himself in. Though he is hospitalised, it has not affected his ability to play, “You not really a #wcoop grinder if you’re not one handed 10 tabling on touch pad in a Mexican hospital with covid”.
