The poker player with the highest ever winnings is a 42-year-old Canadian pro named Daniel Negreanu. The Ontario-born schemer is the biggest live poker winner of all time with earnings running as high as $32 million, an accolade he earned after his runners-up finish at the Big One For One Drop in 2014.
He was named the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year in 2004 and 2013 making him the only player to have won the honour more than once.
In addition to the above records, Daniel was also the 2004-05 WPT Player of the Year. His achievements are the stuff of legends in poker circles and he became the first player to make the final table at each of the WSOP bracelet tournaments in Las Vegas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
In 2014, he was finally honoured with an entry into the Poker Hall of Fame. On the way to winning his millions, Daniel amassed six WSOP bracelets and two WPT Championships. He is also a self-confessed action junkie, which seems to aid his poker skills.
