Daniel Negreanu 2021

In 2021, Daniel Negreanu continues to play the heads-up battle against Douglas Polk. For now, Doug is ahead of the player, but KidPoker narrowed the gap to $484 000. In between sessions, Negreanu is actively working to improve his play in order to manage to emerge victorious in this difficult duel.

In addition to practicing heads up poker, Daniel has also allocated time for chess training. The poker player is interested in this game so much that he even asked one of the strongest chess players in the world, Hikaru Nakamura, to provide him a training session. Hikaru is a chess grandmaster as well as a five-time US champion.
