Negreanu's recent rant
During the weekend Daniel Negreanu let the community know that if he was in charge, Howard Lederer would be facing a jail term.
Indeed, a series of tweets on the issue were met with approval from many corners of the community; not least from former attorney Todd Terry.
Following his textual outburst, Daniel has released a verbal assault on Howard Lederer in another one of his rant-style videos.
Contained within his latest offering is a series of clips from various experts in the poker world - including PokerStrategy.com's Matt Kaufman - as well as Daniel's thoughts on Lederer.
As expected the video is less than positive and reflects much of the disdain that poker players across the world feel towards Howard following his recent interviews.
As ever, you need to watch the vlog to get the full force of Daniel's hatred for the former man in charge at Full Tilt.

Kara on life in poker
Since adding a touch of glamour to an otherwise drab looking poker scene, Kara Scott has gone on to become one of the industry's best loved figures.
Having earned respected both on and off the felt, she now travels the world presenting and playing tournaments under the Party Poker banner.
Indeed, she's come a long way since her early appearance on Poker Night Live, so her sponsors decided to find out what it's like to now be a poker superstar.
During the interview she explains how she often gets the urge to play when she should be presenting and that her favourite casino in the world is the "Casino di Venezia, right on the Grand Canal in Venice".
Despite being one of the most recognisable and confident figures in the poker community, Kara admits that she used to feel "very self-conscious" when playing against the pros in the glare of the media spotlight.

High stakes corner

| Bad times for Ville |
Vladimir "GVOZDIKA55" Shchemelev topped yesterday's high stakes chart with a profit of $203,487.
It took the Russian player 1,464 hands to complete his six-figure haul. However, as swiftly as he made a healthy profit, his time at the felt looked like an eternity compared to "MUSTAFABET", as the unknown grinder managed to rack-up $114,436 in just 174 hands.
Following the trend of speedy sessions, yesterday, was Ville "V.Wahlbeck" Wahlbeck, "joiso" and Sam "tr1cky7" Trickett.
Each played under 400 hands but managed to drop six-figure sums. Of the three it was Wahlbeck who dropped the most with a loss of $129,924.
Daily Signoff
Whether she's at the felt or in front of the camera, Kara Scott is always a pleasure to watch even when she gets as lucky as she does in this pot against Christer Johansson.
