Negreanu Bashes Pantling
Daniel Negreanu has engaged in some mudslinging of Andrew Pantling tarnishing his huge €800,000 win at the spring European Poker Tour grand final main event. Pantling was interviewed by iGaming.org recently. Negreanu took fifth place in the event and expressed a few negatives thoughts on Pantling's game. “The reason is, I played with Daniel for a few days even before the final table, and I really beat him up with some big bluffs," Pantling said in the interview. "I felt, he was quite frustrated and irritated by this so after he was eliminated, he went on the live stream and vented by disrespecting my poker game. "Since then, I had a chance to look at the final table footage and I didn't think it was a big deal, I just kind of laughed and wished I had the opportunity to play against Daniel more often," Pantling said....but then followed it with his own zinger: “That being said, as a brand ambassador for PokerStars, I think he represented himself and the company quite poorly. “If I was a true amateur, I wouldn't be overly keen to play poker on TV if I felt that a well-known PokerStars 'pro' was going to publicly criticize my abilities in front of my friends and family, who were watching and know very little about poker. I know I wouldn't want my brand, Matchbook, represented like that."
