Daniel Kid Poker Negreanu »

Daniel Negreanu, called "Kid poker" on the professional poker circuit, is one of the most dangerous high-stakes players in the game today. Since his arrival on the tournament scene in 1997, he's won more major tournaments than any other poker player. His name tops the World Poker Tour's All Time Money list, and he's also received numerous Player of the Year Awards as well as other honors.

But Daniel is not only one of the best players out there today, he's also one of the nicest, and fans love him for his friendliness both at the poker table and away from it. The road to the top, however, hasn't always been an easy one. Daniel dropped out of high school to play poker, but he says he would play his cards differently if he could do it again. He advises young people to think carefully before venturing down the poker path.
