Gus Hansen and Daniel Negreanu Settled Score After a Twitter ‘Argument’.

Gus Hansen和Daniel Negreanu在推特 “争论”后定下分数。

Twitter is considered an online social networking and microblogging service with “tweets”, text messages limited to 140 characters. With the only 140 characters, you would think that Twitter is not the right platform to organize an event. However, for two well-known poker players, the 140 characters are more than enough to announce a highly-anticipated poker tournament. Last February, the social media world and the poker industry went crazy after Gus Hansen and Daniel Negreanu traded barbs on Twitter.

Twitter被认为是具有“ tweets”（文本消息限制为140个字符）的在线社交网络和微博服务。 仅用140个字符，您就会认为Twitter不是组织活动的合适平台。 但是，对于两个著名的扑克玩家来说，这140个字符足以宣布一个备受期待的扑克锦标赛。 去年2月， Gus Hansen和Daniel Negreanu在Twitter上进行倒刺交易后，社交媒体世界和扑克业疯狂。

The poker public is aware that Hansen and Negreanu are good friends. Still, they can’t help but ride on the entertainment that the guys were providing. Their taunting even got free publicity when it was discussed by partypoker, the current sponsor of the EPL’s Manchester United. Aside from being among the most followed poker players on Twitter, Hansen and Negreanu are also among the most successful. That is why their exchange on the social networking site attracted a lot of buzz.

扑克公众意识到Hansen和Negreanu是好朋友。 尽管如此，他们还是忍不住要享受他们提供的娱乐。 在EPL曼彻斯特联队的当前赞助方partypoker讨论后，他们的嘲讽甚至得到了免费宣传。 除了成为Twitter上关注度最高的扑克玩家之外，Hansen和Negreanu也是最成功的扑克玩家。 这就是为什么他们在社交网站上的交流引起了很多关注。

Gus Hansen (@GusHansen) tweeted Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) about an episode of the TV show High Stakes Poker in which they figured in a heads up. During this game, Hansen got the better of Negreanu and took home US$ 300,000.

Gus Hansen（@GusHansen）在Negreanu（@RealKidPoker）上发布了一条推特，讲述电视节目High Stakes Poker的一集中，他们在这场比赛中表现出众。 在这场比赛中，汉森获得了Negreanu的好成绩，并带回了30万美元。

Immediately, Negreanu released a video blog challenging Hansen to a triple duel. On the video, the five-time WSOP bracelet winner formed a group with Isaac Haxton and Bertrand Grospellier. He and his crew battled Hansen’s group that featured Viktor Blom and Tom Dwan.

立刻，Negreanu发布了一个视频博客，向汉森挑战三重决斗。 在视频中，五届WSOP手镯冠军获得者与Isaac Haxton和Bertrand Grospellier组成了一个小组。 他和他的工作人员与汉森（Vantor Blom）和汤姆·杜万（Tom Dwan）组成的小组作战。

A few weeks after, the game took place in London. Negreanu finally got his revenge on Hansen after his team was declared as the champions, winning eight of the nine matches. Although Negreanu and his crew took home great cash prizes, the Canadian player said on his blog that they were all winners. The moment that everyone agreed to hold a very exciting and fun game, they already achieved a reward that no competition can provide.

几周后，比赛在伦敦举行 。 Negreanu在他的球队被宣布为冠军后，终于对Hansen报仇，赢得了九场比赛中的八场。 尽管Negreanu和他的船员获得了丰厚的现金奖励，但这位加拿大球员在他的博客上说，他们都是赢家。 每个人都同意举办一场激动人心且有趣的比赛，他们已经获得了无与伦比的奖励。

Negreanu said that they “already won even before the matches had started” and the time they spent together sharing was “valuable both in terms of elevating all of our games, but also in terms of friendship”.

Negreanu说，他们“甚至在比赛开始之前就已经赢了”，他们在一起分享的时间“在提升我们所有比赛的价值上，而且在友谊上都是宝贵的”。

Social media is one of the biggest reasons why poker became more exciting. Through the Internet, the public get the chance to witness the events beyond the poker table. It is not only the poker industry that benefits from the rise of technology. For people, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking sites are their way of monitoring the lives of their favorite poker players whenever the WPT or WSOP lights are off.

社交媒体是扑克变得更加令人兴奋的最大原因之一。 通过互联网，公众有机会见证扑克桌以外的事件。 技术的兴起不仅使扑克业受益。 对于人们来说，每当WPT或WSOP指示灯熄灭时，Twitter，Facebook和其他社交网站都是监控其最喜欢的扑克玩家生活的方式。
