THE GREATEST
OF ALL TIME.

Born in Deva, Romania and raised in Toronto, Canada, Daniel Negreanu moved to Las Vegas at age 22 with one goal: to become the best poker player in the world. He's spent the last three decades making the case.

Nicknamed "Kid Poker" for his youthful looks and brash confidence at the table, Daniel built his reputation on an uncanny ability to read opponents and an encyclopedic knowledge of poker strategy across every variant of the game.

His résumé is unmatched — 7 WSOP bracelets, 2 World Poker Tour titles, back-to-back GPI Player of the Year awards (2004 & 2013), and more than $57 million in live tournament earnings, the most of any player in history. In 2017, the industry recognized him with induction into the Poker Hall of Fame.

Today Daniel is a GGPoker brand ambassador, a MasterClass instructor, and one of the most-followed poker personalities in the world with millions of fans across social media.
