This time, one of his lawyers wrote a letter to the Swiss pro, telling him to keep his mouth shut about his contract with Upswing Poker. Otherwise, he\u2019d find himself in another legal fight for breach of confidentiality. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"polks-lawyer-threatens-to-sue-jnandez-for-breach-of-confidentiality\">Polk\u2019s Lawyer Threatens to Sue JNandez for Breach of Confidentiality <\/h2>\n<p>Polk sued the JNandez back in 2018 for breach of contract after leaving Upswing Poker. During that period, he allegedly perpetrated a smear campaign against PLO coach and pro, destroying his reputation through multiple false claims. <\/p>\n<p>JNandez launched a counterclaim on the breach of contract issue and also filed a defamation case against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/top-10-us-poker-sites\">American Poker<\/a> player.  While he lost his defamation claim, JNandez disclosed that the court sided with him on his breach of contract countersuit, awarding him $150,000 in damages. Little was known about the case until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/charlie-carrel-reveals-doug-polk-paid-six-figures-after-losing-jnandez-court-case\">Charlie Carrel tweeted about the situation last month<\/a>, which made everyone talk about it again.<\/p>\n<p>JNandez received the warning from Polk\u2019s attorney after he recently revealed some details of his Upswing Poker contract on social media. The PLO coach was also set to appear on a popular podcast to discuss the matter, prompting Polk\u2019s legal team to act, according to the letter. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-feud-continues-as-poker-community-chips-in\">The Feud Continues As Poker Community Chips In <\/h2>\n<p>JNandez refused to be intimidated by this latest threat from Polk\u2019s team and further attacked the Upswing Poker founder, accusing him of trying to silence the truth. <\/p>\n<p>This has led to another social media clash between both parties, with Polk claiming that JNandez is misleading people about the actual outcome of the case. He maintained that Upswing did not breach its own contract and that his company did not steal money from anyone.<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed out that JNandez lost his defamation claim, whilst asserting that he will continue to defend Upswing Poker and its members despite the court ruling in JNandez\u2019s favor on the contract issues.<\/p>\n<div
