Seat 6: Daniel Negreanu, 43, Toronto, Canada, Team PokerStars Pro - 2,415,000
Hardly any player has been as influential as Canadian legend Daniel Negreanu, who has been the driving vocal force of the game over the years. The 43-year-old's spectacular career earned Negreanu a status of a true celebrity, not only in the poker arena but also in the mainstream. Negreanu has built himself a phenomenal image, being widely regarded as the most popular player in the world.
The "Kid Poker" backs it with fantastic and inspiring results at the felt. Negreanu has been guarding the pole position in the all-time money list for quite some time. He's the only player with over $35 million in lifetime live tournament winnings and now he's guaranteed to add another notch to his outstanding résumé.
After two decades of truly phenomenal hall-of-fame poker career, Negreanu is as hungry to succeed as ever. He took some time away from the tables to study and work on improving his game at the end of 2017, and it seems to be paying off immediately. Negreanu certainly can still swim in the high roller waters with the biggest sharks in the game.
Negreanu will collect his third cash from the PCA Super High Roller tomorrow. He was runner-up to Eugene Katchalov in the inaugural edition back in 2011 and added a fifth place one year later.
