The Poker Hand That Launched Daniel Negreanu's Career
Daniel Negreanu is one of the most famous poker players in the world, with hundreds of thousands of social media followers.
In 1999, Daniel Negreanu was a relatively unknown young professional and had never appeared in televised broadcasts. His first televised appearance was at the final table of the U.S. Championship in Atlantic City.
Negreanu faced John Bonetti in the heads-up round, whom he respected greatly and considered his teacher.
