Daniel Negreanu is one of the most famous Canadian poker players. He has won four World Series of Poker bracelets and two World Poker Tour championships. Daniel began his poker playing career quite early, skipping school and eventually dropping out to play in poker clubs. Eventually, Daniel Negreanu got together his bankroll and tried to make it big in Las Vegas. However, he was not able to make it out in Las Vegas and went back to his native Toronto to get back to the top of his poker game.

Once Daniel was able to get some money back together, he started his climb to the top. He went to Foxwood Casino in New Jersey and won two events that put his earnings over $50,000. At age 24, Daniel became the youngest World Series of Poker bracelet in the history of the series. Full Poker Stars signed Daniel on in 2007. He joined the ranks of major players such as Chris Moneymaker and other great poker players.
