Daniel Negreanu's Support Towards Gay Community. Daniel, who was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2014, is an active supporter of gay rights. He was once asked about his sexuality by one. Daniel Negreanu starts streaming on Twitch Kid Poker follows in the footsteps of fellow PokerStars pros, ElkY, Jason Somerville, Felix Schneiders and Jaime Staples. Having been helped out on the technical side of things by established poker streamer Jaime Staples - who recently joined Team PokerStars - Daniel Negreanu has now started his own.
GGPoker star Daniel Negreanu has been given back his TwitchTV privileges after a month on the sidelines for his bad boy outbursts during this summer’s online WSOP…
The Canadian, an ambassador for the site that has hosted the second half of the bracelet-event series, was unceremoniously booted from Twitch following two separate livestreamed meltdowns.
First up was a disconnection brouhaha that had Negreanu swearing and threatening extreme violence against his laptop, although by the next morning he found himself in a lighter mood.
- Daniel Negreanu (/ nɪˈɡrɑːnoʊ /; born July 26, 1974) is a Canadian professional poker player who has won six World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and two World Poker Tour (WPT) championship titles. The independent poker ranking service Global Poker Index recognized Negreanu as the best poker player of the decade in 2014.
- For almost 20 years, Daniel Negreanu has been one of the smiling faces of poker. Fans flock to the World Series of Poker each year at the Rio, and Negreanu interacts with them and takes photos.
“Watched this back this morning and found myself laughing out loud... at myself hahahahaha,” Negreanu said on Twitter, but it was just the beginning of his summer streaming troubles.
Two weeks later, DNegs was at it again, this time the threats and rage directed at a chat troll who had dissed his wife Amanda.
Reasons, excuses and/or human nature notwithstanding, it was grist to the mill for some of his long-standing critics…
…with Doug Polk and his talented video-editing side-kick Thomas Keeling launching a brutal compilation of Daniel’s less-than-stellar moments.
Meanwhile, Negreanu found himself banned from his popular TwitchTV account…
…with no word as to how long the banhammer would keep him off the popular streaming platform.
DNegs explained the TwitchTV ban decision to his fans and followers:
“They have every right to adhere to their Terms of Service. I didn’t read them, to be honest with you. Nobody does. I didn’t realize what I had done had broken the TOS, I get it, they have every right to give me either a warning - or a suspension.”
He added, however:
“I think a permanent suspension is a little much, if that’s the case so be it, we move on. We still have plenty of opportunities to stream.”
It didn’t prevent Daniel from lashing out at another critic, this time commentator Norman Chad the target after he had the effrontery to question DNegs’ outbursts.
That was met with a expletive-ridden response, Negreanu describing Chad as a “preachy motherfucker” and telling the ESPN and WSOP legend:
“You don’t like it, I don’t give a fuck. I think I’ve made that clear. I don’t give a fuck what you think. At all. You’re not my fucking mentor, my life guru; I do not follow your rules of living. You do you, you can say whatever the fuck you want to me. I’m not going to listen to you, you dumb fuck. Enough! Move on to bigger and better things.”
The 2020 online World Series of Poker is due to finish this weekend, but there’s still time for yet another outburst from the game’s most notable name and face. What are the odds?

Structure still being finalized
The poker community is about to have a new heads-up challenge to sweat: Daniel Negreanu versus Doug Polk. Complete specifics have yet to be set, but it does appear that the two men have agreed in principle and just need to hammer out a few details.
$200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em played on two online tables simultaneously
The basics of the match at this point seem to be $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em played on two online tables simultaneously. The two main details that are still up in the air are how many hands it will last and whether or not hole cards will be shown on a delay during live streams.
Polk wants to play 25,000 hands, but Negreanu seems to prefer a number closer to 10,000. He did say he was flexible in that regard. Polk is also the one who wants the cards shown in their respective live streams of the contest, but Negreanu said he needs to “sleep on that” and confer with his coach, 15-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Phil Hellmuth.
Hostilities led to poker bout
The one-on-one match developed this week in the aftermath of Negreanu’s profanity-riddled tirade during his 2020 WSOP Online live stream that resulted in him getting banned from Twitch. Polk, a former top poker pro who has had an on-and-off spat with Negreanu for a few years, was one of the most outspoken people on Twitter condemning the Poker Hall of Famer’s behavior. He went on to post a YouTube parody video of Negreanu’s Masterclass commercial mixed with Negreanu’s cursing from the live stream. YouTube later took the video down.
Poker vlogger and podcaster Joey Ingram suggested the two settle their beef in a poker match, something that Polk thought was a good idea. Polk goaded Negreanu, saying he was scared, while Negreanu responded by saying that everything Polk wanted in the match was specifically designed to give Polk an advantage.
The two continued jabbing each other – and not in a friendly way – before finally getting down to a negotiation of terms. Polk originally wanted four tables of No-Limit Hold’em, but was willing to do two tables, one No-Limit Hold’em and one of Negreanu’s choosing.

Polk continued to not believe that Negreanu would actually accept the challenge until Negreanu replied with the two-table $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em idea, finishing with “Deal the f*****g cards.”
Negreanu still suspended from Twitch
As mentioned, the origin of the yet-to-be-cemented Polk/Negreanu heads-up challenge is Negreanu’s blowup during his World Series of Poker live stream last Friday night. While broadcasting his play in Event #24: $400 No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed on WSOP.com, Negreanu saw a comment in the chat from a viewer, apparently insulting his wife.
That made Negreanu, third on the live tournament all-time money list, see red. He immediately let loose a river of invective: “Hey, Tom Estrada, go f**k yourself, you piece of s**t. Block that c**k motherf*****g piece of s**t. F**k you, f**k you, f**k you in your ass. How about that? Okay, Tom Estrada, f**k you in your ass. Eat some of that, you piece of s**t.”
He continued, telling Mr. Estrada that he would knock him out and, “I will break your f*****g teeth if you come step to me and I will feed ‘em to you anally.”

Negreanu teased a forthcoming apology, but the prepared statement he read on Monday was a sarcastic non-apology, preceded by false, mocking politeness during the short time he played poker on his stream.
