Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu is one of the best poker players in the world. Negreanu was the 2004 poker player of the year according to ESPN, The World Poker Tour and Card Player Magazine. Having 3 WSOP bracelets, Negreanu knows how to win the big tournaments.
One thing that sets Daniel Negreanu apart is his poker challenge. He is willing to play anyone in the world and he lets the challenger choose the game (from a list of 9 variations of poker). Negreanu has a lot of guts to open himself up for this challenge. For example, he has faced Barry Greenstein (a well known high stakes guru) 4 times for $500,000 each time. I respect Negreanu for putting his money where his mouth is.

Poker has opened many doors for Daniel Negreanu. Look for Daniel in "Lucky You", a film about poker set to come out in 2006. How cool would it be to have your own xbox game? Stacked with Daniel Negreanu game is out on xbox so Daniel knows the answer. Negreanu is also an excellent write, he has written countless articles for Card Player Magazine.
