Timeline

1974

Daniel Negreanu (born July 26, 1974) is a Canadian professional poker player who has won six World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and two World Poker Tour (WPT) championship titles.

Negreanu was born in Toronto, Ontario, in 1974, seven years after his parents, Annie and Constantin, emigrated from Romania.

He can speak Romanian fluently.

The Negreanus had hoped to start a new life in the United States but ended up settling in Toronto where Constantin worked as an electrician and sold confectionery.

Daniel is five years younger than his brother Mike.

1998

Negreanu won $169,460 in the $2,000 Pot Limit Hold'em event in the 1998 World Series of Poker, becoming the youngest WSOP bracelet winner in history — a record he held until 2004 (Scott Fischman).

Negreanu has since captured another five bracelets.

He has 36 career WSOP final table appearances, including two apiece at the WSOP Europe and at the WSOP Asia-Pacific, and 103 money finishes.

2004

He was named the WSOP Player of the Year in 2004 and 2013, making him the only player to receive the accolade more than once.

He was also the 2004–2005 WPT Player of the Year.

He is the first player to make a final table at each of the three WSOP bracelet-awarding locations (Las Vegas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific), and the first to win a bracelet at each.

Negreanu was named the 2004 Card Player Player of the Year and the WSOP Player of the Year.

He was also named the 2004-05 WPT Player of the Year.

2006

In 2006, Negreanu was named "Favorite Poker Player" at Card Player Magazine's Player of the Year Awards Gala.

In addition to his 6 bracelets, he also won a WSOP Circuit ring in 2006.

After winning the tournament, he explained his strategy and provided some insights into his play: "I had a strategy designed for each individual player and pretty much followed it at the final table. The key to winning for me is that I stayed out of marginal situations. I don't want to get into a race with 6-6 against A-K and hope to stay alive. I think what I am best at is playing after the flop, and I wanted to get as many situations as I could where I was up against (an opponent) and could take them on after the flop. My goal is to see the most flops I can. I like to set traps. I let (opponents) get involved, and then trap then. If I get them drawing dead (which happened twice at the final table in big pots) - that's always the plan."

2009

At an early age, Negreanu was ambitious, stating in a 2009 interview "From the age of four, I thought I'd be rich. I told my mom I'd build a house out of Popsicle sticks and move to California."

He attended Pineway Public School in North York, where the principal complained to his mother about Daniel's "poor manners or behavior" and threatened to expel him for "ignoring the school rules."

While nursing dreams of a career as a professional snooker player, the then 15-year-old learned to play poker.

At the age of 16, he was spending time in pool halls, hustling, betting on sports, and playing cards.

When he was several credits short of graduation, he dropped out of high school and began his life as a rounder playing at local charity casinos, usually at Casino Country and Fundtime Games and looking for illegal games around the city.

While in Toronto, he met and began dating Evelyn Ng, who would also become a well-known professional poker player.

After building a bankroll, he left for Las Vegas at the age of 22 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional poker player.

However, "The Strip" got the better of him and he was forced to move back home to Toronto to rebuild his bankroll.

Negreanu is an accomplished tournament and cash game player.

He has six World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and two World Poker Tour (WPT) championships.

He has also reached multiple WSOP and WPT final tables and won various other tournament titles.

2013

In 2013, he captured two WSOP bracelets and another WSOP Player of the Year award, becoming the only player to win the award twice.

2014

In 2014, independent poker ranking service Global Poker Index recognized Negreanu as the best poker player of the previous decade.

In 2014, he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.

In November 2014, Negreanu was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.

Negreanu has regularly played the "Big Game" in Bobby's Room, in the Bellagio casino, Las Vegas, where the limits are $400–$800 or greater and the games are mixed.

He is a self-professed action junkie who claims to always seek new challenges and set high goals for himself.

Unlike many players, he is outspoken about his results and regularly posts updates in the Full Contact Poker forums.

Some of Negreanu's success is attributed to his ability to read opponents.

When asked about this, Negreanu explained that the most important skill he employs is observing what hands his opponents play and how capable they are of playing them.

Negreanu's first cash at the WSOP was also his first WSOP bracelet.

2019

As of 2019, he is the third-biggest live tournament poker winner of all time (behind Justin Bonomo and Bryn Kenney, both of whom have won a special multimillion-dollar charity tournament), having won over $42,000,000 in prize money.
