Daniel Negreanu
Living the American dream was what drove Annie and Constantin Negreanu to transfer to The United States from Romania. They did not know that later on their son Daniel Negreanu would become one of the best poker players in the world. At the age of 15, Daniel wanted to become a professional snooker player. He dropped out of high school and started working at the local casinos. It 
was here that he learned and mastered the game of poker. At the age of 22, he decided to move to Las Vegas to pursue his dream of becoming a professional poker.
It was not a smooth ride for him, but with his determination, he manged to make it big in the poker scene. In this decade long career, he managed to win four World Series of Poker Bracelets. He won his first bracelet in 1998 at the $2,000 Pot Limit Hold’em and went home with $169,460. At that time, he was the youngest, at 23, to win a World series bracelet. His second bracelet was in 2003 for the $2,000 S.H.O.E. event where he won $100,000. In 2004, he walked away with a bracelet and $169,100 from the $2,000 Limit hold’em event. Four years later, he proved that he still has the what it takes and got his fourth bracelet along with $204,874 from the $2,000 Limit Hold’em event. He is on the all time money list with winning amounting to more than $12 million with 4s cashes from the World Series of Poker alone.
Aside from winning big time, Daniel also published his own book entitled Power Hold’em Strategy. It contained a collection of articles from other poker players. He also contributes to poker magazines and books of other poker stars. This laid-back guy enjoys a game of pool with his buddies or golf with his fellow poker players. He also appeared in a number of films, poker tournaments and TV shows.
