Poker Pro Daniel Negreanu on Annie Duke:  ‘Liar, Cheat, Thief, Will Screw People

Hey Daniel Negreanu, how do you really feel about your professional poker playing counterpart, Annie Duke?

Negreanu, whose ill-feelings towards Ms. Duke are very much public, submitted his latest rant about the woman for whom comedian Joan Rivers daughter Melissa once referred to as a “Whore Pit Viper”.

“Very long story but short answer,” when asked by a Full Contact Poker forum member why he despises the woman.  “Liar, cheater, thief. She will screw people over, and has, and will continue to any chance she's given.”

Negreanu’s venomous remarks towards Duke have only escalated in the wake of the Full Tilt Poker scandal as her brother, Howard Lederer, was accused of running an elaborate ponzi scheme.

Daniel Negreanu would love to see Lederer and Duke thrown into the Poker Hall of Shame (as opposed to the Hall of Fame).

“If you took out the “F” and added an “Sh” in the word fame then yes, I think she should be inducted,” Negreanu said in reference to Annie Duke.
