Welcome to the chat room!

Daniel Negreanu has been accused this week by poker commentator Jamie Kerstetter of deliberately sabotaging her career, the latest in a long line of controversies to dog the Canadian superstar…

Kerstetter states in the video clip above:

“He has hurt my career…he had me removed from a commentary that I was already signed up for.”

That, she says, is “because I speak my mind about him and I’m not going to kiss his ass.”

Naturally, that sparked a feeding frenzy on Twitter, Negreanu’s fans and detractors fighting for equal space to defend or vilify him…

Negreanu himself admitted to giving his opinion on commentators, although at first he didn’t specifically single out Kerstetter or respond to her claims to have already been offered the gig, rather than ‘auditioning’ or being considered for one.

Negreanu tweeted:

“Amazing that people are somehow OUTRAGED about that it’s truly batshit crazy…I have my own taste for commentary. I get others may disagree, but when I’m asked... I’m supposed to lie and say it’s good when I don’t? Ridiculous.”

He added:

“It is true. Many years ago @BartHanson & @stapes auditioned for The Big Game commentary gig. I like both of them. Not personal at all. I thought Stapes was a better comedic fit for the role and shared my opinion. He got the job.”

Irish pro David K Lappin, a long-time foe of Negreanu as we detailed here and here, was soon back on the case…compiling Negreanu’s stream comments about the Kerstetter ‘case’..

In it, Negreanu states:

“Jamie Kerstetter was doing commentary for the World Series of Poker – I didn’t think it was very good” and goes on to claim he discussed it with Norman Chad, and that Chad agreed with him that “she wasn’t good.”

Chad, it should be noted, was the subject of an earlier Negreanu rant this week in which the GGPoker ambassador described the ESPN commentator of choice for the WSOP, alongside Lon McEachern, as a “preachy motherfucker”.

Negreanu also stated:

“I don’t give a fuck what you think, at all, you are not my mentor, my life guru…I’m not going to listen to you, you dumb fuck…”

Again Lappin ensured the clip was out there for all to see….

Back to Kerstetter, who has become a household name among those serious about poker. The law graduate has been around the poker tables for a long time and among those who lost their Full Tilt bankroll in the 2011 scandal.

As a player she has won around $1.5million between live and online tournament play and as a commentator she worked her through Poker Night in America shows, as well as WPT and Heartland Poker Tour gigs.

That culminated in being asked into the WSOP commentary booth in 2018, cut short by actually having to play the Main Event herself – resulting in her 3rd ME cash.

More recently, Kertstetter and fellow poker pro, Marle Cordeiro, have been behind the excellent podcast, The Rake, which this week featured Norman Chad as a guest, which sparked the entire stramash.

Giving Kerstetter the last word for the moment, when told she would get 50% of the ‘cancellation fee’ in other industries, she wittily replied…

The most high-profile sponsorship in the poker world has ended.

Daniel Negreanu will no longer sport the red spade, representing PokerStars everywhere he goes. He and the world's leading online poker provider have come to an agreement on what 'Kid Poker' called an 'amicable split.'

Negreanu had been the most visible member of PokerStars Team Pro since 2007, which he called 'an incredible run.'

'It was a great run but we're no longer gonna be an ambassador for the company,' he said in an online announcement. 'I worked with so many great people, some really good people at PokerStars. I've had the opportunity to travel the world, play in Barcelona, Monte Carlo, PCA which were three of my favorite stops. I wish everyone the best.'

'I worked with so many great people, some really good people at PokerStars.”

Rebecca McAdam Willets, PokerStars associate director, group public relations extended the company's well wishes, in turn.

'Daniel has been one of the most influential faces of poker and indeed PokerStars for 12 years, and it has been wonderful to have his passion, support and insights throughout our relationship,' she said to PokerNews. 'We wish Daniel the very best for the future, as well as wedded bliss and tons of run good this summer.'

Negreanu's Long History With PokerStars

Originally, Negreanu played a major role in funding and building his own poker site, Full Contact Poker.

However, in June 2007, Negreanu reached an agreement with PokerStars to join their ambassador team alongside notable former World Series of Poker Main Event champs Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer and Joe Hachem. Full Contact Poker was migrated into PokerStars and the site reverted to simply being host to Negreanu's blog, forums, podcasts and other media.

Negreanu became a regular face on PokerStars' European Poker Tour and other international events. While he never managed to win a prestigious EPT title, he did make a few final tables, finishing fourth at EPT Grand Final in 2013 for €321,000, and cashed in a few $100K events at PCA and other stops.

While other stars from the early 2000s such as Hachem and Barry Greenstein faded from the spotlight and had their sponsorships lapse, Negreanu continued to carry the flag and remained one of the game's brightest stars. His profile only rose over the years as he became poker's all-time tournament money leader — since surpassed by Justin Bonomo — and evolved his game to continue to succeed against the new generation of crushers.

Recent Troubles

In recent years, Negreanu has been a lightning rod for criticism out of some corners as both he and PokerStars took some stances that proved unpopular with sectors of the poker community.

When PokerStars controversially cut high-volume rewards and hiked the rake across a number of games, Negreanu rationalized the changes, to the consternation of countless pros who hoped he would fight for their cause. In the process, he became a favorite punching bag of popular content creators like Doug Polk and Joey Ingram, who made a running gag out of Negreanu's defenses for the rake increase.

Then, some of his posted opinions ran afoul of popular 'The Chip Race' podcast hosts DK Lappin and Dara O'Kearney, who went after Negreanu on their blogs, resulting in a back-and-forth spat.

That one turned nasty, as did a heated exchange with Shaun Deeb in early May that saw both parties throwing insults and discussing a bizarre bet on which man would stay married longer.

Leaving on a High Note

Through it all, Negreanu remained and still does remain one of the most, if not the most, popular poker player in the world. He hopes fans will get to see him in a slightly different light now, and people around the industry will understand that the opinions he's voiced over the years don't necessarily come from on high from his sponsor.

'In a lot of ways, it's somewhat freeing,' he said in a video blog. 'For years, when I make a statement about poker, people say, 'You're just saying that because you're being paid to say that.' Which I know is not true — I could pass 1,000 lie detectors to prove that — but what's great about the situation now is I can go back to essentially making comments and statements about the poker community that I guess would have more credibility because of that.

'In a lot of ways, it's somewhat freeing.'

'I've had the luxury over the last 20 years of being on the inside when it comes to the business side of poker, the professional side of poker. I know what poker players are missing. I know what some of the people in business miss about what it's like to be a professional poker player. I'll still fairly discuss any issues, positive and negative, with them, with partypoker, with WSOP.'

Freshly married, Negreanu also said some things that evoked Jason Mercier's 2018 exit. He hopes to start a family in the coming years and said the split with PokerStars is just part of his 'life taking on a new direction.'
