Daniel Negreanu Bio:

Daniel Negreanu was born to Romanian immigrants in Toronto, Canada. Negreanu picked up a taste for gambling at an early age, eventually dropping out of college to play poker full time. After several years spent playing cash games in Toronto, Negreanu outgrew the scene and made the decision to move to the poker hub of Las Vegas.

Daniel Negreanu Poker Career:

Daniel Negreanu’s move to Las Vegas was anything but an instant success, and after only a few months on the strip, Negreanu was forced to move back to Toronto to rebuild his bankroll. In 1997 Negreanu had recovered sufficiently to launch another attempt at building a career in Las Vegas.

An older and wiser Daniel Negreanu got the better of Las Vegas the second time round. In December 1997 he won his first major tournament at first attempt, claiming $38,000 for winning the World Poker finals. With a first win under his belt, Negreanu’s career built momentum, and in April 1998 he claimed his first World Series of Poker bracelet playing Pot Limit Hold ‘em.

The next decade saw Daniel Negreanu develop into one of the most proficient poker players in the world, as he won an average of 2 tournaments a year, cashing at least once a month. Although Negreanu has never won the World Series of Poker main event, he’s no stranger to million dollar wins having claimed the Five Diamond World Poker Classic only three months after winning the Borgata Poker Open on the World Poker Tour.
