It might be a relatively slow week according to the poker calendar, but it has been anything but slow on Twitter. With side action at $1 million dollars and counting for the upcoming Poker Masters, plus an epic slow roll in California, there was plenty to sink our teeth into for the latest edition of The Muck.
Daniel Negreanu's Poker Masters Bet
While The Masters has the iconic green jacket in golf, PokerGO is betting on purple. And so is Daniel Negreanu.
A player has first dibs on their own action. If a player doesn't play any of the events, the bet is a wash. If a player plays one event, the bet stands. A player can bet on as many players as they want at $50K apiece. Negreanu indicated the action might increase to $100K later this week as interest continues to grow.

The Poker Masters Purple Jacket™ will be awarded to the player who earns the most money across five high roller events to be held Sept. 13-18 in Las Vegas.
The event hosted at the Aria Resort and Casino will be live-streamed on PokerGO and the schedule is as follows:
- September 13 – Event No. 1: $50,000 buy-in
- September 14 – Event No. 2: $50,000 buy-in
- September 15 – Event No. 3: $50,000 buy-in
- September 16 – Event No. 4: $50,000 buy-in
- September 18 – Event No. 5: $100,000 buy-in
Apparently, $300,000 isn't enough of a wager for Negreanu. He went on to challenge the high-stakes poker community to a little side action.
Looking for action for PokerMasters? I want to bet myself
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker)Basically, Negreanu puts $50,000 on himself to win the Purple Jacket against any one player of his opponent's choosing.
The rules seemed to be established as the conversation progressed.
- A player has first dibs on their own action
- If a player doesn't play any of the events, the bet is a wash. If a player plays one event, the bet stands
- A player can bet on as many players as they want at $50K apiece
- Negreanu indicated the action might increase to $100K later this week as interest continues to grow
Negreanu wasn't waiting for the action to come to him. He went out and poked the bear ... or Doug Polk in this case.
@DougPolkPoker would you like $50k of this juicy action?
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker)And then he taunted Phil Hellmuth, because who can resist that?
@phil_hellmuth betting $50k on a must win Purple Jacket bet. You interested? If neither of us win it's a wash
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker)Why don't you just book me at Poker Masters? If I win $4 million, pay me $4M. If I lose $200,000, I'll pay you $2… https://t.co/vvfnwhCQ20
— phil_hellmuth (@phil_hellmuth)I offered to book 100% of @phil_hellmuth PokerMasters action and sell 50% of it. Ball is in his court to punish me for MILLIONS!!!
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker)We're waiting with bated breath to see how this one turns out.
Here is where things stand as of the publish time of this article.
I have $50k Purple Jacket Must win bets against the following players. I may up the cap to $100k later this week https://t.co/DLNsgT3kSP
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker)As best we can see, there are a total of 20 players on the other side — 18 from the list plus Dominik Nitsche and Igor Kurganov to make it an even 20.
Of course, this doesn't include any private messages securing action, which we're willing to bet (pun intended) has happened.
So, what we know is Negreanu is wagering $50,000 to win $1 million. Not everybody seems to be jumping on the bandwagon though.
@RealKidPoker Not the kind of tweet that's going to bring out the non pros
— Daniel Shak (@daniel_shak)@daniel_shak OK Dan I'll bite: what's got your panties in a bunch this time?
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker)@RealKidPoker I'm probably wrong it should be the best of the best kind of event a non pro could probably win an event but not the jacket .
— Daniel Shak (@daniel_shak)This is an interesting line from Dan Shak, who admittedly falls somewhere between a professional and an amateur. Should this event be targeting everyone, pro and non-pro alike? It is called 'Poker Masters' after all.
This story is unfolding minute by minute, and we are as excited as anyone to see how it plays out. The real winner in this scenario is PokerGO, which will no doubt benefit from all the side action happening, especially if Negreanu or one of his opponents make a run at the Jacket.
Challenging Phil's Belt
Negreanu's been busy throwing down the gauntlet on Twitter these last few days.
What started out as a little tweet promoting his latest podcast turned into Negreanu, Polk and Shaun Deeb challenging Hellmuth for his King of the Hill title, with a little podcast advice thrown in for good measure which makes for a very entertaining thread.

— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker)The next King of the Hill event seems to be taking shape: Negreanu, Polk, Deeb, and Hellmuth. Hey, Poker Gods, can you make this happen?
The Slowroll Heard Around the World
We're not sure anyone has milked their 15-minutes of fame more than Will Kassouf. His appearance on Poker After Dark and more recently on Live at the Bike continues to bring out the lovers and the haters - with not much in between.
Usually, we're talking about his tilting table talk. But not this time. He upleveld his table-talk game by adding an epic slow roll into the mix. And the results extended his 15-minutes, once again.
See for yourself. The video is a bit long, because, well ... it is a slow roll.
And as if on cue, both lovers and haters came out of the woodwork.
@LIVEattheBike @PokerNews @WilliamKassouf I love WK as much as the next guy, but I've been on the other end of that… https://t.co/r77HyRYaMG
— Chad Eric (@ChadFred) 
@LIVEattheBike @WilliamKassouf gee, he has been telling what his hand was since the freaking flop. you cannot consider that a slowroll ##
— Eugene Kuzmov (@eugenekuzmov)Chances are this kind of offensive play won't do him any favors in the long run. We have two words for you ... Jamie Gold.
Hellmuth in A Word
There is no doubt that Phil Hellmuth has had a stellar few weeks. He:
- Was interviewed several times in the mainstream media promoting his book
- Silenced his critics by claiming the King of the Hill title
- Joined the WPT team as host of the Raw Deal
- Placed second at the WPT Legends at The Bike
On the surface, it might seem difficult to describe Hellmuth to anyone outside of the poker world - he is a unique character after all. In fact, the topic of Hellmuth often results in players and fans being at a loss for words.
We love a good challenge here at PokerNews, and our very own Sarah Herring went on a quest to learn what other poker players and media have to say about Hellmuth ... in one word.

So, first of all who can do it? I'm fairly confident that the first to act can do it. But what about everyone else? Seems like dark betting as anyone else but UTG is kinda the same as betting out of turn. But yet one seems acceptable and other not.
Secondly, how do you signal a dark check/bet? And more importantly is it a binding action? What kinds of signals of it and how binding does it get? For example, telling people 'Ima raise this on the flop' but doesn't, does that constitute rule breaking?
Thanks in advance to whoever can enlighten me on this. And f*** google searching, get the similar-name-syndrome sorted out already...
I see it done on TV. But I'm wondering what the actual rules on it are, googling it turned up fruitless thanks to a TV series called 'poker after dark' with a similar search name.

The search works better if you leave out the word poker. Google is smart enough to know what you want if you just search 'checking in the dark' or 'rules for checking in the dark'
That said, since these tend to be non-standard strategies and procedures, if it's allowed, it is best to verbalize the intention and have the dealer repeat or acknowledge it.
These questions, and a lot more, are covered in my post: Introduction to poker in a Casino Poker Room.
TV series called 'poker after dark'
Ahhhh... I miss seeing Shana Hiatt each night.

There is no rule that says you have to look at your cards. You can do anything you want in the dark, fold, check, bet, raise. But there is no rule that says you have to look at your cards.
basically you can do whatever you want as to check, bet, fold or raise if it's your turn to act. if you are heads up, for example and player A who is closest to the button 'checks in the dark' player B can bet in the dark before the card hits the table. I think these rules play out the same just about everywhere. it goes without saying if 3 people check in the dark in turn, the 4th can do the same, wait for the card, or bet.
signaling a dark check, in my experience, has always been verbal so that the table and most importantly the dealer hears the declaration. a person who says something like 'im gonna raise this on the flop' is acting out of turn. his 'raise' isn't and shouldn't be binding. it goes to table talk, imo. (he cant raise if he's first to act) so if there are 4 people to act before 'im gonna raise this flop' and he utters it when the card is hitting the felt, the action isn't binding. on the other hand if player A bets and it's his turn and he speaks those words, then he must raise.
a famous example of this was the '2005 wsop' at least I think it was that year and Doyle Brunson was down to 55 people or so and he stated and the dealer heard him that he is going all in and only pushed a few chips over the line, the player didn't hear Doyle and said I'm gonna raise it, and the dealer said you cant raise it, he's all in, the player said, oh I fold then, but it was too late and the floor ruled he had to put all the chips in to cover Texas Dolly's bet and Doyles' 10's got busted by A-7 or something like that.
if a guy is continuously angle shooting, by putting chips into the pot when its not his turn, he should be removed from the game. I hope this helps some.
There is no rule that says you have to look at your cards. You can do anything you want in the dark, fold, check, bet, raise. But there is no rule that says you have to look at your cards.
By 'dark', I think he means, before the next round of betting, not before he has seen his cards.

Oh, okay. Nevermind.
