With all this DN and Barry G. banter, it begs the question: What is the greatest rivalry in poker?A rivalry doesn't necessarily constitute the players disliking each other (although it helps), it just consists of an elevation of competition when the two players get together. What do you guys think?

Johnny Moss and Nick the Greek has to be #1. It was ridiculously lopsided, but still great.I've always been a big fan of Phil Hellmuth and Sam Grizzle, I could watch those two go at it for hours.

i think an argument can be made for jennifer harman v. annie dukehtis is more of a spectator rivalry, as i've never heard anything negative about anyone from Harman. Anyway, somehow, some media outlets decided to call annie duke the best female player ... and i would love to hear harman's "off the record" comments on thatother notable rivalries should do or SHOULD exist:moneymaker v. farharaymer v. ariehraymer v. matusowraymer v. moneymakertj v. fergusonrob mizrachi v. mike mizrachi v. mrs. grinderhelmuth v. internet mateurs
