Daniel Negreanu Kid Poker
Daniel Negreanu biggest win. Negreanu’s biggest win was in 2014, when he placed second in the Big One For One Drop $1 million buy-in event. Kid Poker battled 41 other poker players for the prize pool of $37,333,338. Daniel Negreanu came in second only beated by Dan Colman. But Negreanu’s pity prize of $8,288,001 still remains his biggest. Negreanu knew he’d be the underdog going into the match and put together a team to help. After weeks of studying and preparing, Kid Poker hit the tables on Nov. Daniel Negreanu spent hours with his team preparing for the match.

Daniel Negreanu, the man, the legend, and the subject of this documentary that promises to take you into the mind and soul of one of the greatest poker players to have ever graced the felt. Daniel Negreanu – Kid Poker Daniel Negreanu’s parents, Annie and Constantin, emigrated in Canada in 1967, with the hope to find a better life. In 1974 Daniel was born, five years after his bigger parents, in Toronto, Ontario. From posting his weight loss to his latest anger management audition, Negreanu is fast becoming the Madonna of the poker world (bear with us on this one). Every time there is a new trend, Kid Poker.
'Kid Poker' got hitched! After rekindling their romance in 2018 — they dated back in 2010 — Daniel Negreanu and former PokerNews host Amanda Leatherman got married Friday night at Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, California, after getting engaged over New Year's Eve.
Thanks to social media, you could feel like you were present at the ceremony. It was a poker reunion as the likes of David Williams, Jason Somerville, Frank Kassela, Maria Ho, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Hellmuth, Jeff Madsen, David Benyamine and even David Oppenheim attended.
Negreanu was of course decked out for the occasion, rocking a royal blue custom suit from Vegas-based STITCHED complete with Jimmy Choo studded shoes.
His groomsmen included Negreanu's long-time friend, videographer, and golf coach Christian Sanchez, Eddy Sabat, and Eric Wasserson, matching in all black suits with royal blue pocket squares.
So what exactly did they serve at the wedding? Well if two vegans are getting married, you're going to be eating vegan food. 'Where's the beef,' Lizzy Harrison posted to her stories with a photo of the menu that included cavatelli pasta, Caesar salad, a lemon marinated 'chicken' complete, and chocolate cheesecake or coconut caramel brownie for dessert.
The coolest addition from the night? The Dan Band! Who? You might recognize the lead singer from a few movies like 'Old School' and 'The Hangover.'
The @RealKidPoker and @RadioAmanda wedding just got spicy with @TheDanBand in the house! # #ALovesTheD https://t.co/PzTgJrT3eQ

It wasn't all perfection, however, as Negreanu posted once they landed in California that he had forgotten perhaps one of the most important items for the event — the wedding rings! He admitted on his stories that it was on his list (in all caps as Leatherman pointed out) of wedding prep, but he still forgot.
'It's no big deal, we'll just find rings,' he said.
Neither seemed phased by it, however and how could they be — it was still a night to remember.
