 | Born in 1974 in Toronto, Daniel
Negraneu is a young Canadian who started playing poker at the age of 15
and moved to Las Vegas to play poker full-time. In 1998, at 23, he became
the youngest world championship event winner in history and also won the
97' Best all around player at Foxwoods, the 98' World Series Champion Pot
Limit Hold'em, the 99' US Poker Champion, and won 12 tournaments over that
span, more than any other player on the circuit. He lists his most
respected poker players as Jennifer Harman for making it to the top of a
'man's' world, Allen Cunningham for his ability and table demeanor, and
Ted Forrest and lists his favorite game as Pot-Limit Hold
Em. He now resides in Las Vegas, would
like to find the right person and have a family, and if he could change
anything in the poker world he would change the negative image of poker -
"For society to see that it can be a healthy profession although it's not
traditional. Get rid of all the bad apples, the cheats, the badmouths, the
hot tempered, etc. If that happens, I can see poker being accepted more
readily my mainstream society in the near future."
