Data reference: 22/10/2026Career
Daniel Negreanu was born in Toronto and built a career spanning Hold’em tournaments, mixed games and a high public profile. The WSOP records his first bracelet in 1998, in $2,000 Pot-Limit Hold’em. He was named WSOP Player of the Year in 2004 and again in 2013. His induction into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2014 recognized an already established career.

His results go beyond Las Vegas. In 2013, he won the WSOP Asia-Pacific Main Event in Melbourne, with a payout in Australian dollars. The next year he finished second in the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop. That gross payout of US$8,288,001 is recorded here as a tournament prize, not personal wealth.
He later added the 2022 Super High Roller Bowl and the 2024 Poker Players Championship. In 2026, he won his eighth bracelet in the $100,000 Omaha High Roller. Away from the tables, he makes videos about tournament life. The historical alias KidPoker also appears in an online H.O.R.S.E. title at the 2016 WCOOP.
