How has his eventful poker career looked so far? His best-known nickname is Kid Poker, but time flies fast, and Negreanu will soon turn 50. This Canadian of Romanian origin has been one of the most popular poker players in the world, if not the most. There are famous poker players, and there is Daniel. When Negreanu was questioned about taking more days off along the way, only deep runs and bracelet wins stretching beyond the late registration window (or extenuating circumstances) seem likely to interrupt Negreanu’s marathon intentions.Unless you've just started your poker adventure or have been living under a rock for the past two decades, you've probably heard about Daniel Negreanu. Negreanu finished second twice in WSOP bracelet events in 2019, and finished third twice in 2021. He has not won a WSOP bracelet since 2013, when he won the WSOP Asia-Pacific main event in Australia and a high roller at WSOP Europe in France. While he’s continued to have success in recent years, Negreanu’s bracelet drought has stretched to 10 years.

In addition to his six WSOP bracelets, Negreanu has 10 second-place finishes and six third-place results, translating to more than 40% of his final table appearances leading to a top-three finish. To date, Negreanu has 196 WSOP bracelet event cashes in his career and 54 final tables, according to WSOP records. While he’ll almost certainly make some Day 2s and Day 3s along the way, many of the tournaments on this schedule offer a variety of different re-entry options – raising the likelihood of getting closer to that dollar amount. If he doesn’t re-enter any event and plays every listed event, the total amount of every buy-in for Negreanu will be $941,029. Among the 88 tournaments on Negreanu’s radar, his list includes tournaments with buy-ins ranging from Event 18, the $300 Gladiators of Poker No Limit Hold’em tournament, to Event 40, the $250,000 Super High Roller.

That schedule comes with a grand total of two scheduled off days – June 17th and July 4. If an event is not on this list there is no scenario where I’ll play it: These are all events I may/will play if not already in a previous event.
