Poker is full of faces whose names are forever imprinted on the game. Alex Foxen, Daniel Negreanu, and Doyle Brunson are a few who have excelled over the years. Negreanu proved that, based on his 2022 performance, he\u2019s still a formidable opponent on the felt.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old Canadian poker pro,<\/a> known as “Kid Poker” or “DNegs,” earned his first cash in July 1997, when he finished 10th at the Orleans Open $230 NLHE event. Less than a month later, according to Hendon Mob, he took down the $225 NLHE Heavenly Hold\u2019em event in Los Angeles for $18,800.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been on a fairly solid run \u2013 with a few bumps along the way \u2013 ever since. The GGPoker<\/a> ambassador now has six WSOP bracelets and two WPT titles to his credit, and ended 2022 with a gross profit of $1.62 million.<\/p>\n

No poker player is successful all the time. There are bad beats, bad decisions, badly timed bluffs and laydowns that all combine with the uncertainty of any given hand to make poker so exciting.<\/p>\n

DNegs had his bad moments as well, like when his pocket aces lost to pocket jacks in the Poker Masters when another jack appeared for his opponent on the flop. However, he turned that around when he took down the $300K NLHE Super High Roller Bowl for $3.3 million shortly after.<\/p>\n
