Ironically, for a player with two WPT titles, four World Series bracelets and nearly $13 million in tournament prize money, Negreanu had yet to cash in a European Poker tour event before playing EPT London earlier this month. There he min-cashed but this week in Vienna he is on course not only for poker’s Triple Crown (WPT, WSOP and EPT titles), but for top spot on the All-Time Money List, a place he lost to Phil Ivey a short while ago.
Negreanu’s list of achievements is too long and too distinguished to give credit to here, but he has been an icon of the game for more than a decade, quickly establishing himself as one of poker’s most naturally gifted players.
Originally from Toronto, Negreanu now calls Las Vegas home, the place where he became the youngest WSOP bracelet winner in 1998, aged just 23. Now 36, his most recent bracelet came in 2008. In between tournaments Negreanu has gained a massive fan base, becoming an author, a regular blogger, as well as being a key figure in poker TV shows around the world. He’s also a leading figure in Team PokerStars Pro and is known online as “KidPoker”.
