There are a handful of poker players that attract every eye in the room when they walk in. One of those players is Daniel Negreanu, who has been part of the poker consciousness since the late 90s when the 52 year-old was known as”Kid Poker” muscled his way to the front of the whole damn scene.
In a poker career that is in its third decade, Negreanu remains one of the most popular and successful players in the game, and the reasons are easy to understand. Besides winning, he consistently makes himself accessible through his nearly-daily vlogs where he talks directly to his fans like a normal positive human, flaws (for the most part) unhidden.
All-eyes were on Negreanu yet again at the final table of the $100,000 Pot-limit Omaha High Roller event, whose 83 entries built a prize pool of nearly $8 million which would go to the top 13 finishers.
Three of those players would cash for more than a million dollars: Negreanu, Artur Martirosian and Chris Frank. The rest of the final table of eight would cash at least $269,000.

The $2.2 million Negreanu took for the victory is his fourth-largest tournament cash, way behind the $8.2 million he scored for finishing second in the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop event in 2014.
His last bracelet win in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship in 2024 was also worth seven-figures, which he has a total of 11. He now has more than $60 million in lifetime tournament cashes, according to the Hendon Mob. That’s good for ninth on the all-time list.
With nearly $40 million, no one has won more in WSOP events than Negreanu. This year alone, he’s already cashed a dozen times. And he’s still cooking in the WSOP Main Event, ending his Day 1 with 72 bigs.
Here’s how he got all his WSOP bracelets:
| Year | Tournament | Prize |
| 1998 | $2,000 Pot-Limit Hold’em | $169,460 |
