Doug Polk's Lawyers Threaten JNandez Over Confidentiality Clause


Doug Polk and Fernando JNandez Habegger have been involved in a public conflict since 2018. JNandez left Polk's Upswing Poker team in 2018, taking advantage of a release clause in his contract. Polk's legal team has threatened JNandez, reminding him that a confidentiality clause is still active in his contract.

JNandez was awarded around $150K after his counterclaim for defamation was thrown out by the judge. JNandez recently appeared on Matt Berkey’s Only Friends podcast to discuss the matter.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
