Sunday afternoon, the account tweeted that 'DNegsPoker' had been banned. The account used the hashtag #firstban in the post, and in the tweets following the Negreanu announcement, it used the hashtags #thirdban and #fifthban in the reporting of other streamers getting booted, making it likely that the six-time WSOP bracelet winner will be allowed back on Twitch soon. The 46-year-old has been using the platform to livestream his play in the online WSOP events.
The move by Twitch comes a couple days after Negreanu went on a profanity-laden rant during one of his WSOP online streams. During the July 24 $400 no-limit hold'em eight-max event, one viewer in the chat made a comment that set off the GGPoker ambassador.
During the 40-second tirade, Negreanu told the viewer that he would 'break his f***ing teeth' and 'feed them to him anally.' The clip picked up steam and was shared all over social media with varying reactions.
According to Negreanu's Twitter feed, the viewer made crude remarks about Negreanu's wife, Amanda, who is a former poker reporter, presenter and host of the now-defunct PokerStars' show The Big Game.
My wife ladies and gentlemen… this may shed some more light on why we are a perfect match! #RideOrDie#GotYourBackhttps://t.co/FUSO9dae10
