Daniel Negreanu: The Kid Poker

There are a lot of top poker players from different countries, but Daniel Negreanu is definitely among the most famous one. At the age of 35, he is now considered just as famous as Phil Helmut and Jennifer Harman. Daniel Negreanu also owns an online poker school, and has published countless poker articles over the years.

The most memorable trait Daniel Negreanu has is of course his reads. There are countless occasions when he actually read upcoming cards, tells, opponents’ cards, and the overall situation. He is famous for calling bluffs correctly. At one point, in the World Series of Poker main event, he actually won over $1 million worth of pot just by reading – or predicting, in a normal term – a straight; he was up against three Aces, yet he won with a straight.

Daniel Negreanu has so far collected over $12 millions of WSOP winnings, and he is now the holder of 4 WSOP Bracelets. He is second just to Phil Ivey in terms of total winnings. With this year’s World Series of Poker coming up, it is definitely not impossible for him to increase the total winnings amount and be number one in WSOP top players list.

The poker player currently lives in Toronto, Canada. He is regularly seen at some of the best poker tables in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, along with several televised tournaments on Fox and ESPN. Be sure to visit his online poker school, PokerSchoolOnline.com, if you want to be just as good.
