Daniel Negreanu Reflects on 2010 WSOP: Fitness, Bets, and Poker Evolution


Daniel Negreanu's 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was marked by significant changes in his routine. Notably, he abstained from alcohol throughout the series, a departure from his usual habits. Additionally, he followed the P90X fitness program, which includes a variety of exercises such as weight lifting, yoga, running, and jumping.

Despite these changes, Negreanu's performance was mixed. He made 4 cashes and finished 6th in the Tournament of Champions. He attributed his success in no-limit tournaments to his strategic play, while acknowledging that his limit play was less successful due to bad luck.

Negreanu also engaged in high-stakes betting. He made a 2 to 1 bet with Tom Dwan on winning a bracelet, although he declined to disclose the amount. He also criticized Annie Duke's views on women's poker tournaments, stating that he disagreed with her stance on separating tournaments by gender. Additionally, forum users speculated that his girlfriend was Amanda Leberman, although Negreanu did not confirm this.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
