Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu is one of the most talented poker players in the world today. He's only 31 years old but has already won lots of big tournaments, including three WSOP golden bracelets. The one thing missing is a top placing in the World Series of Poker main event. Negreanu is known for his constant chatter during the games. The young Canadian always has a smile on his face and delivers comments about his own and his opponent's game.
Born: 1974 in Toronto

Quote: "I live by a motto that's pretty simple: "Don't do anything stupid." I think a lot of pros try to do too much and they're really not having enough faith in their system. A lot of guys try to make something happen when it's not necessary. I don't give up, I don't get paranoid or stressed out, I just play."
Poker fans about Daniel Negreanu: "Daniel Negreanu is one of the best poker players around, but he needs major work on his persona. If he becomes more cool and mature, he will be one of the most beloved players in the world of poker today."

"You shouldn't be jealous of Daniel just because he is a multi-millionare superstar poker wiz. Negreanu is the best poker player in the world toady - and the richest as well."

"Negreanu is without doubt my personal favorite poker player today. He's a young man, but sets very high standards with his great poker play, as well as with his gentlemanly conduct. I have not once seen him lose his temper at the table, and that's an uncommon quality among poker players."
