Pro sports bettor and poker player Sean Perry once referred to fellow poker pro Daniel Negreanu as "one of the biggest scums in poker".
This weekend, Perry took his grudge to the World Series of Poker, where he sat at a table nearby Negs.
"I'm here trying to talk to Daniel Negreanu too. He doesn't want to say anything," Perry said in the video obtained by PokerNews.com.
"He only likes to talk while I'm on the internet. Piece of shit."
Perry then leaned over more and appeared more direct towards Negreanu's table.
"You and all your friends, Man, who scammed me and all that stuff. It's crazy. And here I am talking in person and he's silent and blocked me on the internet and doesn't want to have a word to say.
"A great role model for the poker world."

The bad blood between Sean Perry and Daniel Negreanu ("Kid Poker") has been building for several years and centers on accusations, reputation, and social media battles rather than a specific hand of poker.
This can be traced back to 2021 when high-stakes pro Daniel Colman publicly warned the poker community that he believed Sean Perry was a scammer. Perry denied wrongdoing, but the allegations damaged his reputation.
Perry, whose live tournament winnings total greater than $6.8 million, has claimed that Negreanu helped amplify negative opinions about him within the poker community and turned other players against him.
In 2025, things really got heated when Perry published text messages purportedly between him and Negreanu.
A text thread between me and scumbag Daniel Negreanu. The clown went from being my idol growing up to being an internet bully. He’s the reason I came to the internet so I could defend myself against his clan of butt buddy’s that go around spreading false shit on the internet… pic.twitter.com/mUENoi9eed

(Then wants to leave me on read when I start spitting the real facts to him…(YOU’RE A FUCKING JOKE) Just stay tuned for all the details. Promise you guys this tho, those that scummed me over the years, ARE GOING TO FUCKING REGRET IT!! HOORAH BABY."
Negreanu is one of the most decorated and recognizable poker players ever, an eight-time WSOP bracelet winner and longtime ambassador for the game. He's also among the game's most outspoken players, though he's remained mostly silently on the public stage when it comes to Perry.
Even X AI's Grok could not explain what was transpiring here.
