Daniel Negreanu ended an 0-3 record on PokerGO's High Stakes Duel by defeating Eric Persson in Round 1 of the heads-up poker competition.
Both players bought in for $50,000 on Monday and were scheduled to return to action on Tuesday night at 5 p.m. PT for a rematch., but Persson declined his option due to "scheduling conflicts."
Congrats on kicking my ass @RealKidPoker . Look forward to playing with you in the future!! @PokerGO @BuffaloHanks https://t.co/eED3Okgz1x
