Bill Perkins-Fueled Drama Causes Need for Arbitration in Polk vs. Negreanu

The heads-up no-limit hold'em grudge match between Doug Polk and Daniel Negreanu started amicably enough, but the two rivals have hit a bit of an impasse, if a Twitter dust-up is to be believed.

The opposing parties weren't, however, Negreanu and Polk.

Instead, a tweet from Bill Perkins, who is known to have wagered on his friend Negreanu, set Polk off on a rant, and he confirmed that he and Negreanu have called on impartial judge Phil Galfond to make a call.

What that means for the match isn't totally clear, but it appears action is on hold for the moment after Polk booked the most recent win to take the lead in the back-and-forth battle.
