Daniel Negreanu Wants to Normalize Calling the Clock on Poker Tankers
“It’s not personal… It’s just business,” said Daniel Negreanu, who wants players to draw a line in the sand when it comes to slow play in the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event.
The seven-time bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer took to social media to tell players it’s time to normalize calling the clock and not to feel bad about it.
Negreanu encouraged players to take action when opponents drag their feet, especially those who seem to tank on every street.
He made it clear that he’s not trying to create friction at the table. In KidPoker's view, there’s nothing wrong with players taking extra time on a big river spot, particularly those who normally play at a decent pace. But for the habitual tankers? The gloves are off.
