Daniel broke out onto the poker scene in 1998, when he made his first appearance in World Series of Poker. He won a bracelet in Texas Hold’em Pot Limit and became the youngest champion in the history of WSOP, at the age of 23. This earned him the nickname “Poker Kid”. The year after that, he won the United States Poker Championship. In 2001, he finished at 11th place at the WSOP Main Event.

In 2004 Negreanu repeated his success and won yet another World Series of Poker bracelet and finished in the money at five other events. In addition, he won the Borgata Poker Open and the Five Diamond World Poker Classic, both earning him a total of $3.0 million. He was awarded the ESPN Player of the Year as well as the CardPlayer Magazine Player of the Year awards. All the winnings have made him the second most successful poker player in the world.

In 2007 Daniel made the jump to PokerStars and began promoting the PokerStars.net brand full time.
