Poker Legends - Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu is one of the most successful and promising poker players of his generation. Originally from Canada, Negreanu dropped out of high school to make a career playing poker. After moving to Las Vegas at the age of twenty-one, Negreanu soon found out how tough being a poker player can be. He returned back to Canada to get his footing again, and less than ten years later won two events at the World Poker Final held at Foxwoods in 1997.

In 1998, Negreanu became the youngest player to ever win a WSOP bracelest (a record that was broken in 2004). And is if to say he would up his broken record, Negreanus was named 2004 WSOP Player of the Year and 2005 WPT Player of the Year. Negreanu has won two main WPT events, three WSOP bracelets and has appeared at final tables many different occasions.

Negreanu attributes his playing success to his ability to read other people, although not even Negreanu can always read the toughest of the bunch.

Daniel Negreanu is probably one of the most popular and well known poker players today, largely due to this outspoken nature, writing publications (including many articles and a book) and his vlog on Full Contact Poker. Negreanu is also a member of the Poker Stars team and can be found playing golf or high stakes games in Bobby's Room at the Bellagio Casino.
