Known around the globe as "Kid Poker" thanks to his World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet win at the age of 23, Negreanu has found an unparalleled following of poker fans. Few players have been able to promote both themselves as well as the game of poker the way Negreanu has, making him one of the most visible players in the game today.
This Canadian superstar began his professional poker career by winning three events at the World Poker Finals at Foxwoods in 1997 and collecting the tournament's best all-around player award. He then followed his debut by winning a WSOP Pot Limit Hold'em bracelet in 1998, becoming the youngest player to win a bracelet until his record was broken in 2004.
Possibly one of the most consistent players in the game, Negreanu continued his winning, taking home his second WSOP bracelet in 2003 in addition to making the money in four additional tournaments during that year's WSOP.
2004 will forever solidify Negreanu's place in poker history when he accomplished what may likely be the best year in the history of tournament poker including six money finishes in the WSOP and a championship bracelet in the $2,000 Limit Hold'em Shootout. In addition, Negreanu dominated the competition in World Poker Tour (WPT) events that same year making the money in 6 events including a first-place finish at the WPT Borgata Poker Open in September and another WPT title in December at the WPT Five-Diamond World Poker Classic. These amazing accomplishments earned Daniel the 2004 Card Player Magazine – Player of the Year award, an extremely coveted title amongst poker's elite players.
Having earned over $8.4 million in career tournament earnings, Negreanu has continued his impressive tournament results and is the star of the hit video game "Stacked with Daniel Negreanu." In addition to reaching players through their video game consoles, Negreanu's popular website, www.fullcontactpoker.com, his bi-weekly Card Player Magazine column, and his nationally syndicated newspaper column, have given him an enormously loyal fan base.
