Career Highlights: 2004 WSOP player of the year.
Daniel Negreanu is nothing short of a poker legend. His ability to read players, spot the best action and mentor up-and-coming talent have secured his place in poker's pantheon. Negreanu joins Team PokerStars as its newest ambassador of the sport beloved by 50 million people worldwide.
The Toronto native moved to Las Vegas at age 23 to become a professional poker player. At the 1997 World Poker Finals at Foxwoods, Negreanu took down back-to-back titles earning himself the Best Player Award.
Since then he has added three World Series of Poker bracelets to his trophy haul, winning his first in 1998 (in the first WSOP event he had ever entered) at the age of 23, making him the youngest bracelet winner ever at that time. Negreanu has also been a dominant figure on the World Poker Tour, winning two titles and also boasting more top three finishes than any other player.
A perennially popular player, Negreanu was named the World Series of Poker "Player of the Year" in 2004 and "Favorite Poker Player" by Card Player Magazine in February 2006.
Negreanu has written hundreds of published atricles, has a syndicated newspaper column in over 50 cities, and also has a best-selling book on the market entitled, "Hold'em Wisdom for All Players." For his second book, Daniel has assembled a team of "Superstar Contributors" to write a book called, "Daniel Negreanu's Power Hold'em Strategy." He regularly plays against these contributors in televised tournaments and high-stakes games including Late Night Poker, High Stakes Poker, the Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament and Ultimate Poker Challenge (as a commentator and stand-in host).
Negreanu can be found playing at PokerStars under the name "KidPoker."
