Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.
