Oh Boy. Now he needs queen, ace or ten
Everything but
He entered
- Good cash, right? - Yeah.
Not everyone enters the EPT Grand Final in Monaco.
- Right. - And you just did it
If you think about it poker, most people think from Daniel Negreanu
We know that he will always be the winner
There is only something about him
When I met Daniel he was already a legend.
Six bracelets, two WPT titles.
The understanding of the game is peerless.
Daniel is definitely the best
tournament poker players In the world.
He looks poker
in all different incarnations
in the last 20 years and
he still talks storm when doing it
I can't even imagine it What kind of inheritance will he do is in the game
He crushes it.
My brother write the rules yourself.
He goes through a phase where his ego explodes.
Daniel makes a bad decision. He must finally start from the beginning.
Daniel is super-driven, very straightforward
Very opinionated That what we love about him
- .. very loving - Usually he is right.
I can't think too much people who have done more poker games today
He never turns anyone down when they need it
I think Daniel Negreanu is the most prominent,
best known, most famous poker player...
... In the world.
This is where I start.
It's been a long time since I was here Honestly, when did all of them come calling
When I was 40 years old, it turned out that I didn't really sink. I mean, I am Hopefully, I won't lie.
Like, I think if I am not appointed, what exactly do I have to do? to get this?
So it's not a surprise.
It doesn't really sink, until I'm up there
and share what I want to share.
And through the journey in My head how it all started.
I was born in 1974 in Toronto, Canada
My parents are from Romania
They came to Canada in around 1967 with five dollars in their pocket
and really fair work their way.
They start, like, doing candy at the exhibition.
But my father is an electrician. Start working in the electrical department.
Then they start buying home and rent it out,
and speculate and all things like that.
They do a great job in creating an upper middle class
from basically nothing
My father knows a little English. He knows, in Romania,
You say, "I will do it something," you say, "Okay, damn it." Right?
So he will have, like, The times where he is work for someone,
and the woman will say, "OK, I want you to do this." And he will say, "Okay, damn it."
And he will continue to say... Finally, he is like, "Why do you keep saying that?"
And he's like... he doesn't understand That is a bad word in English.
Real story!
He almost had a big fight, When the husband came home.
"Why do you want to? to fuck my wife ?!" My childhood, I will describe it as
typical European style childhood.
My mother, she cooks, She is cleaned, she is sweet.
He feeds everyone. You come home, you like, "I'm not hungry, I'm good."
He will put a plate of food in front of you and make you eat it
My dad always fills cups, make sure you drink
Very friendly, very loving.
I will say further the liberal side. Open.
You know, they talk about whatever is in front of me
We are just perfect, love family
- Get it? - Yeah.
My parents are not selfish.
They both love me and I brothers more than, you know,
anyone can imagine and They are great role models.
My mother, that's just the generous one, selfless heart,
just give.
He has passed many things in his life. He has nine miscarriages He has five sons, four girls.
Finally, my sister and me.
That is one of the reasons I think that he is very strangling and pampering.
Cos he only appreciates us much more,
because everything he suffered to go just to have us.
And my dad likes my best friend
We will watch TV late.
I pretend to be asleep so he will take me to my bed.
Now starting to scratch, eh?
He taught me how to be friendly and generous.
My father is just that person.
If we have a party and someone who doesn't have fun,
my father can feel it He will joke.
Crack a joke with them, turn on the mood
And I feel like I have a lot of from those qualities from my father
I think of others and Their childhood,
and I am truly blessed
Well, in my school a little from those who know it all and a little... When people will fight me, I don't care how big they are I will fight.
Maybe some might Think of him as a bad boy.
Troubleshooter I don't know if it's because
he is always a small child,
so he has to prove it That, er, he is heard.
My brother always knows that I have his back
So he let his mouth make him in trouble
When I was in first class, Mike was in sixth grade
It is six feet tall. He is really a big kid.
This is actually part of the reason I have a big mouth.
He is a big protector and he will really take a bullet for me
There are several times when I have to like
complete the battle for him or let people know that Daniel has a bigger brother.
I am a small man. I will fight for myself but have my sister as a back-up
certainly makes it easier.
Actually, actually I am really arrogant
My teacher is actually... they shouldn't like me,
but I think they really like me and respect me
Often, I will come to class with a pillow
My brother finds the class to be boring
He stands up from his desk, walks behind the class,
put on the floor and fall asleep.
And the teacher said, "You can't do that."
Well, he said, "I'm tired. It's boring."
The structure for my sister isn't
on the priority list.
He does something when he wants to do something And... it's always difficult for him to follow the rules.
I am a tough child. There is a letter my mother gave me for my birthday
a few years ago from when I was ten years old
And legible... This, like, five days of school, cos starts on September 6.
"Dear Mrs. Negreanu, I am writing as a follow up to my phone conversation
with you Tuesday, September 11, 1984.
I want it to be clearly understood that I will not tolerate
Code Bad Daniel or behavior. Remembering your own position to always support and forgive Daniel,
I have no choice but to say to get rid of it from school
He must continue to ignore school rules. "
Ha! I like that one!
Very funny, what is it?
"It's not Daniel's fault, can't."
School is not easy for him
We don't know why.
We then found it he saw something different ways
I think Daniel is just misunderstood,
because, not think in the box,
He draws his own bloodline and the lines are very large bigger than the box.
So they put it in a talented math class,
to speed up his desire to learn
I always number geek and it's just very fun for me to see numbers.
When I was a kid and I was used to playing video games...
I will play a baseball game or something, and I write lower stats
I save a log from it, so I know like, you know,
three for 11 is 372 - or 373, forgive me
I totally believe that my brother never is quite challenging at school
He finds things that will happen boring all the time
He always wants to find out, "What's next?"
Sometimes I just sit there with my mother going, "What do we do with him?" He doesn't listen. He does what he wants, however,
everything he does He excels and does it well.
How are you doing? does someone discipline to always do well?
When I enter high school, I'm actually right But then I start, you know, go the other way
I went to the pool hall with my friends Regev and Oren.
Oren and Regev are basically like my brothers
We grew up in Toronto, you know, being male and doing all kinds of bad things Difficulty? We? Never. We are really good.
We have a problem.
- I ask like that - Oh my God!
In about two seconds, does nothing What do you do for it?
I think you want everything.
No, her hair, not her eyebrows!
- Hey bro! Look at my eyebrows! - That is cool.
Daniel, you trust me so far.
Oren and Regev?
You are from another mother.
We always like class clowns, makes everyone laugh
He is the entertainer of the group, so far.
But tomorrow I will be better. Tomorrow, you will look the same.
You know, it's all about just having fun.
Not doing bad things, but just doing funny things.
We don't really like school. Unfortunately, the pool hall is really close to school.
So it makes it very easy us, before we can even drive, to make the trip.
That is a place hang out.
After school or at school weekend, night,
they will only go together and play billiards.
And he became very good when playing snooker
And he produces some money on what he feels too.
We gamble for five dollars and drink
and, you know, table fees, so it's not like big gambling,
But that's where I entered into the world where I met
some people who play poker and I begin to be introduced to him.
I think it's all luck, But then I notice the same person keeps winning
and the same person continues to lose. I'm like, "Hm? Interesting."
So I went to the library to get a book in the game,
and I like, "You don't play king-seven off-suit?"
It really surprised me, I don't know.
And then me, Regev and Oren, We play in the basement just for fun.
When he starts, we know that he will always be very good at that
When he sets a target, he will do anything to get it
Playing poker, you see There is a sparkle in his eyes.
I think that's when a lamp went out
and Daniel start hosting more games in our house in the basement
He will have his friends and you will see people enter and leave the house.
And some people must have smile and some people will go
really annoyed because he will only clean them.
He makes a lot of money It's like a clinic.
And, to this day, it makes me laugh!
From there, we increased to some from private clubs.
And they are all older men. They are in their 40s in their 50s and so on.
So I am a young child. I am "Kid Poker".
After about two, three months play with this ordinary crew,
I started being the winner myself
Something changes.
School does not become a priority anymore.
He did it well when he was there.
But attendance is a problem.
Well, honestly, My mother doesn't support
from what I did as a teenager.
My father He is like in the black market when he was little.
He is a bit shy. He knows I'll be fine. My mother cares more.
He said, "Daniel, forget it poker You go to school!"
We are always taught to believe you go to school,
You follow the rules, You get a good job.
And you work and you will have a good life
But for Daniel it's not like that My brother writes the rules himself.
I really started taking it seriously when I played in a charity casino,
Monday to Friday, noon to eight.
We will play $ 10, $ 20 limit hold & apos; em,
and I'm making about $ 44 per hour.
You know, my teacher, he will try to tell me what to do and I like,
"At 18, 19, I make more money than you.
Why do I listen to to you? Pff!"
I feel a passion for playing poker and I feel like this my call
that I don't even finish High School, despite the fact that I love school
At first, My mother was really opposed my sister played poker,
for simple reasons is not a career.
It is not well received by friends.
My mother is talking on the phone with one of her friends.
His friend says, "I don't want My child does what you do."
And this is a guy who sells car stereos From behind the truck it was stolen, also cocaine.
And my mother, being fierce, like her,
he let him have it and he defended my brother
When my mother saw that her friend put Daniel,
that's all
And we know. Then after that point, my mother proudly said,
"My son, he's a poker player and he's good."
So I remember that time, thought for myself,
"I want to make my mother proud of what I do."
That's interesting. After my sister came home from playing poker,
my mother will always ask, "Daniel..." Or he will say, "Danielle, how are you doing today?"
He is like, "Oh, Mummy, You know, I'm fine. I wake up, I'm down, I'm even."
But occasionally, he will do it Same as, he will take money.
He must be like a pile of fat from cash and he will throw it on the ground
And he must choose all of them up and sit there and count them, one by one.
my mother, growing up, She never had many things.
And then my brother will go home by car,
So my mom said, "Daniel, where did you get this car?
So he just looked at him.
Go to different places, various events, play different poker tournaments
Okay, let me put the cake over the light.
But still want my brother...
to live his dream.
- Cheers, Dad. - Cheers, Daniel.
My father is a big and strong man. He is a boxer while still a teenager.
In good health You know, He works as an electrician Up to 60 years old.
And then, suddenly, everything about her health is just a little faded
I was at Windsor playing poker.
I remember calling him my father was really sick
and that he might, you know, he might go
We enter the car and we will return, But the road is very cold.
And I saw the car in the ditch left and right. And I don't have a good car I like, "We will never succeed. This is a three-hour trip."
So we came back and we said, "Okay, we will leave tomorrow morning if it's safer."
On the way home, in the middle of the road,
I got the call he has passed away
So I'm not there, you know, for the last moment
We lost our icon.
This is my dad's big nose.
He is everything to us.
See who is talking!
We take everything very hard.
My father is my superman.
I have to separate myself rather from that father I know and this, you know,
Whose shell is she when she dies
My brother is only 21 years old.
He is young. Nothing Right in his life.
But poker is there
and I think it gives him outlets and that ability to express himself
and just... focus on something
besides our pain is suffering as a family.
My father always makes the best .
He always believes in us children.
Whatever we do, he goes, "Mike, Daniel,
do what you have to do, but be the best."
Smiling. Let's look good, beautiful teeth
- My beautiful teeth? - Yeah, smile
- Okay, if you want me to smile. - Smile
Cheese!
Daniel is always pushed.
And with my father's departure,
I think it gives it more focus
to be successful what is his passion
I remember, as a teenager, watching
old ESPN record from the World Series of Poker
and seeing Phil Hellmuth win and be like, "Wow! That is so cool."
Only this old gambler, they have a story They are very interesting
People like Eskimo Clark and Devilfish and all these people.
Like Sammy Farha. They come from a different world.
I want to experience it.
So he generates some money here, some grand,
and think, "Do you know what? I will try it."
My mother said, "Daniel, where do you go?"
"Mother, I will go to Vegas. I will succeed."
I remember when I first came to Las Vegas, I was in the Gaza Strip
and I think it's like fantasy land
I remember thinking for myself, "This is where I am."
I go to Horseshoe, where all history happens.
Maybe I like a $ 3,000 bankroll.
And about 24 hours later, I don't have a bankroll.
I left Vegas feeling desperate.
I returned to Toronto and after a few days
like the word, "okay, I will rebuild."
Have a few friends who lend me a little money,
so I can play ten, 20 limit the game hold & apos; em.
And when I have then fund 3,000,
I travel again to Vegas.
And, uh, a very similar story.
Five or six trips, I go to Las Vegas,
I go with money and go without one.
Sometimes I you come back from Vegas is bankrupt
But... he has that desire. He said, "I'll come back.
They won't beat me."
Basically, what I will do is,
there will be charter flights on Thursdays and Sundays back to Toronto
On Wednesday nights, if I'm short of money,
I will play all night until Thursday and, if I have enough money to stay,
I will stay until Sunday and once again I will do it the same thing.
On Saturday night, if I am Short money, I will play all night
and if I don't have it What money, I'll go home on Sunday.
I basically got a place at the Budget Suites.
The TV has a bed, it has a kitchen and bathroom.
You know, basic needs.
And, after a while, whenever I want Back to Toronto, I know I'm back,
so I will save it and I start storing more and more items there.
In younger years, My mother came down to see my brother in Vegas
Make sure he is fed, dressed.
Make sure he has family around him and good support.
Daniel is alone. He doesn't know anyone.
I feel better because I can always hold him,
know that my mother is there
He just enjoys close to me
He will cook for me, do laundry and all that that he wants to do
I never made it. That's what he wants to do.
My mother supports me through all that.
I remember very, very, very important stories in the beginning of my development,
where I am playing in the seven-handed game.
It feels like three in the morning
And I'm bankrupt. I lost my last chips. I went to the bathroom.
Wash my face, wash my hands
Exit. Everything's gone.
This is the first time in my life where I am aware, like, "Oh, My God! I am the sucker."
They play because of me.
In Toronto, I am a bull. I just push people around.
But in Vegas, they are like, "We've seen this city Heroes come and go
They are a dime a dozen." So I need to learn how to to have a better table image.
How to change the way that I am playing. It's not only being 100% bull.
I have to tone it down a little . I learned a lot.
From there, everything starts to change for me
I was playing on satellite, to play at my first ever World Series of Poker event.
Me and Todd Brunson got the head up. I was lucky and beat him.
Then he said, "Why not? I took your piece of tournament tomorrow?"
I won't even play, That is all my money.
But I'm like, "Well, if Todd Brunson thinks I can win, Maybe I should play."
My goal is only really to be enjoyed experience and maybe cash.
My first table is, you know, a killer line at that time.
There is Eric Seidel, Humberto Brenes,
Nguyen man, Johnny Chan, Dan Harrington.
And I remember bluffing Johnny Chan and thinking,
"Woah, he didn't catch me."
Then I catch Erik Seidel trying to bully me
So, at that time, I was like, "Do you know what? I can play with these people I can do that."
I dated Todd Brunson. Daniel made it to the final table.
And Todd goes home and he says,
"You know, I take this piece of child,
but I don't really know his name - Daniel Niagara, Daniel N, Daniel something.
And you will fall in Horseshoe playing too,
so can you watch him? and watch him,
and make sure whatever cashes you get Money from him? "
And I said, "Sure."
So I play cash games and I will run and see how he did it
Then I go play cash again and run and see how things are.
And then the ninth place is left, eighth place is left,
seventh place left, sixth place left, fifth place.
In fourth place, I say, "Okay, I'll just stop play my money and watch over him,
This is ridiculous. " Cos I'm really excited for him and nervous for him,
don't even know who is that person
Finally I fight a child named Dominic Bourke,
which is much better than I was on limit the pot hold & em;
I enter like an inverted coin situation. That is 50-50.
I don't even see the card. It's blurry.
I see a crowd. I know most of them cheering for me
I saw them raise their hands, so I definitely won
And I knelt down. game
My first program and I won.
I walked over to him and said, "Hi, I'm Jennifer. Nice to meet you.
Congratulations. " I hugged him tightly.
And he was very happy. We went to the bar. we become really, very close friends
I never get money from him like I should!
But he paid Todd the next day
and that's how it all started. after that.
At that time, I was the youngest player who had won a bracelet. really appeared right around that time in my career.
The world of poker That time was not so big.
Many big players I was playing with, they didn't know Daniel
World Series of Poker big bracelet,
but in cash games, It's more about being good in cash games.
He always plays in games with super high limits. He will let me watch the game.
I will lick my flesh and leave, "I hope to play this game someday."
As far as his expertise,
he might be there to play, But as far as his bankroll,
He is not in the form to play in the game.
And Daniel basically makes a bad decision
I'm a little crazy.
If I have $ 10,000, I will put it on the table.
He is like, "You need some bankroll management skills."
One night, I thought he had $ 30,000 for his name.
And he is very drunk, he can't even walk.
And he came to me and said, "I will play in this game."
And I will bring it aside and I say, "Daniel, you have $ 30,000. You can't play in this game.
That's a buy-in." I said, "If you lose a few hands, you have done."
And it feels like I hit My head is stuck on the wall,
because of him... he won't listen to me
So he sits and plays.
And he finally went bankrupt and had to start over.
There are many doubt at that time
The moon is really medium introspective and digs deeper,
and say like, you know, "What should I do? to make it work?
Can I? Am I capable Am I good enough? "
You know, people when they first start poker
make a bad decision
He is one of them.
I don't throw stones in a greenhouse,
because I make a bad decision when I first start playing.
So I try to give him a little a little wisdom from what I know,
from the experience that I experienced in the past.
I learned a lot. He's a great player. playing poker 80, 90 hours a week.
A few crazy hours, grind, try to rebuild a bankroll.
Daniel includes enough hard work to get the respect of everyone and he works hard.
Mirage is where I sweat blood and tears, if you want, really study
But I enjoyed it. I'm very confident
that's all when building characters for me.
Cos I wake up in the morning ready to leave.
He learns a lot lessons, but he learns.
And good learning.
My first program I ever played on television in 1999.
That is Poker AS Championship.
And I have a head against John Bonetti,
which is a legend, You know, at that time.
This will happen be a very exciting fight to see who can take it here
And the clash of eras. John Bonetti is 71 years old.
He has a lot of respect for Danny, one of the young guns coming
Going there, I'm not thinking about TV tables The night before, I thought about what I would use
and it will happen My patented tracksuits are like, you know,
half white, half black with a Nike hat
I'm like mini Andre Agassi things like lookalike
And it's really green for all, but it's very comfortable, oddly enough.
The camera doesn't bother me.
I feel very comfortable under lights
- Want to see them? - Well, I haven't called.
Well, I don't have dozens.
He takes it back!
Oh, the game is here!
Do I want to flip?
Let's give his hand! Attaboy, Danny. Continue.
John Bonetti looks like he tries to goad to the last fight
And he entered!
He will play low percentage
because he has feelings about cards
And that feeling is true!
Danny Negreanu take a shovel!
He will take the grip of in this tournament
And it's a full ship.
Danny Negreanu completes it Hose of the event with a full house
So this 25 years has got $ 210,000
and above world of poker
Bonetti players are very good I decided
this will be the best shot to win the tournament.
Fortunately the spade hit and, You know, everything is over now.
Then people start to take it seriously
He knows he will be like that principal in the world of poker. She's here to stay.
When I meet Daniel, he has become a legend
He has won a bracelet. It's in Atlantic City.
I think I'm 23, 22.
I'm 38 now, so maybe That was 15 years ago.
I always ask him questions about certain hands
He always gives an honest answer
Immediately, we become friendly enough Phil Ivey, Allen Cunningham.
Also John Juanda. Four of us.
We are the only very young weapon who played in this tournament at that time.
There are no people under 30 years old and we are in their early 20s.
So we grow together, you know, we study together We will go For dinner, we will talk about poker.
Every day we feel like we're studying. That is the right time.
You don't think about it when they are happening
You look back on your life and You think it's the right time. We had fun at that time.
Daniel, of course, makes a name for himself right at the beginning
There is only something about him. This can't be explained.
Super-driven and You only know
that he will be people on poker
We know that as a family Daniel will succeed.
That is not a question if he will, that's all the problem when
In Romanian culture, when a one year old child,
there is a small ceremony we have - the child is placed in a high chair.
And on the high chair There is like a small tray.
And in that tray are various items
These items can range from books
for tools, money
And whatever your child's item is picking, that's their future.
My sister's first thing What was struck was gold and money.
You cannot deny your destiny.
By the end of 1999, I had a very good year. I won the US Poker Championship.
Win a lot of money in cash games and myself 300,000 in bags,
covered with dirty laundry,
by checking on one side which says $ 210,000 Winners of Taj Mahal,
go through the airport with that.
Take him back to Vegas and say, "Okay.
Starting January 1, 2000, This is where I live. "
I am basically a cash grinder. I play two and 400. I move to three and six, four and eight, to four and eight thousand. poker boom, before WPT and World Series are on TV,
I build significant bankroll, play in the biggest game in the world.
Finally, finally I build enough money
so I can play in big matches and have to play with Jennifer.
But cash feels more like work. = Whether I have a lot of of money or not,
is secondary. I really like this game.
I really like the tournament because there is a beginning, middle and end,
and there are trophies in the end and it feels like an achievement.
After my bracelet in 1998,
I'm like, "Okay, this is easy! I will only win one every year and whatever."
But then I go from year to year,
and there is a big gap in my first thing and my second bracelet.
During that period, you know, I experienced a number of struggles.
I learn to play many games
I am a mixed game player. I'm always
I am playing high limits and past the ups and downs and fight with confidence.
That is always something you Will face, especially when you level up
and play against better and better opponents.
You ask yourself, "Am I better than them,
or is this my limit? Can I not push further?"
So don't win a bracelet for years,
makes you feel like, "Wow! I don't know Maybe there is something I did wrong."
And it is really good , relieved, if any, to win the second bracelet in 2003.
I first met Daniel
When the WPT first enters TV.
And he's kind hearted on the periphery.
And then that summer, I thought, in 2004,
World Series of Poker, that is the first year
where I think they are displayed final table from every single event
And, of course, it's an amazing World Series for Daniel.
Lately, I've come second, third and it's frustrating. You start asking questions.
I get my John Juanda needle all the time
"You don't know how to solve it! Your short hand games are not good!"
Where is he Yes!
It's like relief. I feel like I will win a bracelet this year.
- This is not garbage. - This is good. See the bracelet?
I am here this month to win a bracelet
I'm here to win it The best All-round Player award.
That is my goal and I feel it's halfway there.
Building from behind that,
I think it's very in the next season _ WPT,
I think he won likes two events back again.
Starting in the third chip position
with 950,000 chips,
is 30-year-old Daniel Negreanu,
other superstars in the world of poker,
but have not claimed title WPT
Let's see if he can do here tonight
I got a call. This is Daniel.
He said, "Mike, I made the final table.
Will you come?" I was like, "Of course."
He is in the zone.
There is nothing you can do do that day to defeat it
- 60 to call - That's very good lying down.
Oh look at this! Daniel shows him a queen.
- Yes, that's right - But what is the little toy playing Daniel there.
Putting doubt in your mind from Josh You can read it on his face.
He thinks he put it under the best hands
300,000.
This is a good value bet by Daniel Negreanu here
- Master failed, everything - master failed!
Me and my mother,
we are very happy to watch him in his element.

It's like, "Wow, people are cheering for my sister."
It was an amazing day.

Of course he will call him!

This can end.
- It's over! - This.
Daniel Negreanu is our champion
He has done it!
- Aah! Yes! - Wow!
Finally! Yes!
- yes! - Well, you see excitement at Daniel.
A few months later, a week before the final 2004 event,
a man named David Pham passed me in Player Player of the Year race.
So I need to get out of 400 players to come in the top nine at World Poker Tour Events there.
I don't just make a big nine,
I do it with the biggest chip lead in history
Nearly $ 7 million in chips!
- Oh Boy! - He is a person in poker right now. Daniel Negreanu
He is a Player of the Tournament this year
and he has a commander lead chip here
He will be the one who can be defeated surely tonight
- I all enter - Ah! I know you will do that.
- He will enter - There are no friends in Green feels, that's for sure.
Return to chip face of leader
Okay, he will put it.
A nice re-raise there by Jennifer
You keep trying it, little girl
Only extraordinary increases by Kid Poker, Daniel Negreanu.
$ 4 million and I know you, people,
when you get a hit with a return like that,
both of your men shrink like spiders on a hot stove.
- And that will work - you won't like it
Daniel shows him three, friend!
Well, it's like a kidney punch if you're Humberto Brenes now.
That's the needle Extraordinary.
Oh no!
3.4 million.
I can never to say that before
- That's very fun - Okay, you can have it!
Can you make a suggestion? What about... 4.2 million?
That will set both his opponents all in
The power of poker is shown by Daniel Negreanu right now.
Daniel knows he will get it paid at the turn.
He assumes Humberto puts him in a draw
He will bet the fourth of the type. 550,000. Humberto quickly calls him,
thinking high may be the best hand
- Geez! - Look at Humberto.
You can feel the air flowing out of the balloon there.
Going for the big one... that's one million setting out there, people
Humberto goes all with him.
A big mistake here by Humberto
So here it is.
- Nearly $ 6 million in this pot - Daniel clenched his fist.
He can taste his second World Tour Title here right now.
- It's turn - Well, six come.
Daniel doesn't like the card.
He knows five will win pot now for Humberto,
and eight.
This is the river.
- Yes! - Daniel Negreanu has done it!
He is due in an elite company from Gus Hanson, Howard Lederer and Eric Lindgren,
to catch the second Title World Poker Tour
Mummy!
Look at this, Kid Poker goes to the stands
That's two, baby! That's two!
Leading money winner on World Poker Tour
get a big hug from Ms. Negreanu, her mother.
Must be very proud.
It's like the perfect way to go out
and end like an amazing year in 2004.
He won his WPT title and he won Player of the Year
and clearly establishes itself as one, if not the best,
poker tournament players In the world.
My mother is just amazed at how good
Daniel's career develops.
He is my biggest sister support. The biggest fan.
Funny if my mother chooses, like when I got it head over, to go to the buffet.
My mother she prepares me every day. He brought me lunch. He really supports.
He is here for this month to make my life easier
And all that other things that seem insignificant,
far more important than people give credit for.
Finally, he will come so often I buy my mother is home,
like five minutes on the road.
He is there for him.
Every morning, he must make his lunch
My sister might the only man...
.. playing who brings brown lunch bags
to the poker table
It's amazing because...
he does it well and There is an example where
Mother gave Phil Ivey lunch.
And after that, He is also fine.
So it's a little joke, where like...
"I have to make everyone lunch,
If he does it, then we will all do well."
- Does your mother make us for dinner - Little of everything
I remember being 31 years old and she made my soup,
and I have a spoon and I put it in my mouth,
and he blows on it. I like, "Mum, I'm 31!
You have to stop." He's like, "You're always going to be Be my lover."
Daniel adores his mother.
Such relationships
There is so much respect there.
And he always rooting for him
That's just an amazing thing to see.
There is one time, he is driving on the freeway
and he looks up and he looks at my brother's face on the big billboard
And he calls me. He said, "Mike, Daniel's face is over
It's on the highway." I said, "I know, Mummy."
We always know it will happen it's okay
He made it happen.
I have six World Series Poker bracelets.
Two World Poker Tour titles. Number one all the time list of money
I won the World Series Poker Best Player of the Year twice.
There are so many moments that I appreciate,
but what I like Most of it is like that the ninth bottom
and you just have to do it.
In 2013,
it looks like Matthew Ashton has a World Series Poker The Best Player of the Year is locked.
In the main event, I arrived on 25 and it was not enough to pass it
I have one more shot.
So I jumped late to the High Roller.
And I am interesting situation because I need coming eighth
to win the Player of the Year.
There are money bubbles nine o'clock, so two people just fold.
I'm like, "Ah!" You know? I just want to go up a few points
and won Player of the Year, but at the same time, There was a bracelet on the line.
The two people finally go bankrupt,
so it only works like Hollywood script
We are up to eight.
Daniel extreme short stack
Negreanu is at risk Eight again!
- yes! - They will cut it
Oh yeah!
- Woo! - Daniel survives
Stay alive! Stay alive!
And they race Life tournament Daniel
Ace or king for all cheese!
I feel it coming.
I feel mojo. Ace or king
- Negreanu is at risk - Ace fails! Mojo finds!
Daniel in party mode
- Maybe there's nothing worse losing to Daniel Negreanu. - you're so bad
This is not ten and it's not what the rest of the table wants to see.
The winner of the bracelet five times Daniel Negreanu with more than one million chips!
What a run he enjoys.
He's all like five minutes then for seven big blinds!
Not resting on the new one won Best Player of the Year,
Negreanu comes out for bracelet number six
Negreanu drives it. Seiver pays the price.
Negreanu is fascinated the tournament continues,
when he tapped Timothy Adams.
Gruissem appears empty and will fall in third place
See you at the bar soon.
Bracelet number six starts to focus.
All in, snap call, like that.
Negreanu is a strong favorite to win this hand
and bracelet number six.
Queen, nine, deuce. There is no help for Villa-Lobos.
Turn cards, knit diamonds,
bring one Daniel card closer to victory
Trey club and Daniel Negreanu
complete an extraordinary comeback to win the number six bracelet!
Well, I said that will do it
So I'm the little one short stack at the final table
But I still win.
I think if you have to identify Daniel's unique talent
or what is best for him, it's clear
reading the situation, reading people and raising information from them
We know that Daniel is a chatterbox and likes to talk,
and I believe he did that because he wanted the table to live
and he wants a good atmosphere on the table, but that by-product
whether he can get it information from people
Okay, a friendly game.
Many fun things occur on the board
I learned many years ago I hate folding, so I don't fold again.
Feel comfortable now. See?
You can know from my energy. Relax. What does that mean usually means Huh? What?
Hey! As soon as I start barking he enters
Oh man! Seduce! Scare card
- Show one card. - I'll show one after you fold
What if I give you $ 1,000 out of my pocket
- Even if you give me a million, I won't show it to you. - One million?!
I like that bet. It's beautiful
I don't know what you have But I just thought so A very good step.
What's next? You know, I say to myself jokes sometimes
They are suitable for TV. That makes me laugh.
I told you I have three thirds and you just don't care?
Well, if I talk too much, I might let you know what I have
Don't ever talk to Daniel!
He is always fishing information. No give it to him
He looks very GQ. He has a sweater, he has that shirt
The pants are pressed. Are you Have a bronzer, the whole deal?
Oh! This is very difficult to bully
- You are special though - That's what I've been told.
- Do you live in Hollywood now? - Hah?
- Do you live in Hollywood now? - Why?
You have learned a lot from the people in Hollywood
- yes? - Yeah, that's very good
I'm reading everything, the whole movement
That's very good. I went to give a big round of applause.
I think it's already Nice hand, Eugene.
- I think you have good hands. - That's a good reading
Pain right?
Obviously, he's very smart math, but he's a person
and he knows how to find out what someone has
It's difficult, tough, tough decision. I will need one minute
Why did you raise me now? I think you will, huh.
Do you have a toddler
Ah! Whatever!
- My seven cards today - You don't have seven Don't believe it.
I folded, but that's how you have ace, king
You are like a jack or queen or something like that?
Is that what you have? With a spade?
Is that what you have? Jacks or queen with spades? Oh I understand!
He smiles! That's what he got!
I smile because you're talking.
Oh, I like to talk. I'm not silent.
Continue to be blunt, blunt, cool. Diarrhea in the mouth. Can't hold back.
Call, because you are Negreanu.
This is fun. I love have fun playing poker
He basically takes Emotions from him
and play almost robots.
Obviously, he talks a lot,
but I'm sure while he is talking
50,000 questions are in progress in his brain,
as he tried to imagine the item came out
And he was very, very good at that time And he is not stereotyped.
He always gives people the benefits of doubt,
until they prove he's wrong
What did Daniel do? is quite simple
He says you understand to someone's head,
understand how they approach the game
and you play their tendency. It's hard to master.
Check Traudt brings up everything!
I have you failed and you make me take turns.
He is right again.
I have you, but then the card changes your leader I'm pretty sure, right?
You have some sort of nine in your hand right? King, nine?
King, nine.
- Take it. - Daniel folds!
- Are you sick? - King, nine?
King, nine.
I do it again! Yes!
I think the most valuable aspect of being a great poker player
is self-awareness, understanding how people perceive you
Cos after you know how they feel you,
You will know how they will react to it
When playing poker, You have an idea how to do it This person thinks,
what kind of cards they play, whether they are tight or loose, so you can show them more clearly.
But the point is, how are you doing? find out these things? What kind of person is this?
And it comes from understanding how they think and now they see the world.
And it's shaped with their care.
Where they come from, what they have done to make a living,
how long they are on poker
My brother, When he was young,
want to be an actor
And he can sing and act,
and describe the character perfect.
And acting is his first love and I think that's where he got it now,
where he can change himself and become that person or that character
I don't love anything else rather than being under lights
in the middle of the stage playing final table
Because, default, I already feel like, "Okay, this is my favorite zone."
Daniel Negreanu!
He can like taking different situations and making the best of it
and become that person or think about how that person thinks
And then he uses it against them.
Even if I am a little nervous, they are much more nervous than me.
Because this is something I have been doing for years. Be there, do it.
So I use it for my benefit, if there is a
I try to make them even more uncomfortable, put them under more pressure.
Difficult, huh? Close.
Talk to him into it.
He can sell ice to Eskimos.
I can feel when people are afraid, when they are happy
I can feel when people are intimidated or when they try to push me around.
There is no real way to explain it,
Besides, you know, I feel it.
Raise.
Daniel manages to do it doesn't have the best hand
but he thinks he can tell Shlomi to fold,
then guess.
I think you have aces or kings.
Can I say that or is it illegal
I can say what he has but not what I have? Good.
- I'm thinking ace or king. - You think it's right
Daniel is really interesting triggering correctly on that one
And Shlomi now thinks, "If you have read me for ace or king,
Surely you can defeat ace or king. I have to fold."
If I show it, do I have to show it all?
- No. - Good. I can show it
Can I show it if I want? I don't feel like that Forget it.
I don't have a good one shows.
Good for Daniel.
There are almost a double float there and then a cliff in the river, who gets a job.
Negreanu does not waste time revoke the trick from his work book.
- Ace or king looks good? - Of course.
I just said what it was I thought he had, but not that I could defeat him.
If the understanding of the game is peerless,
You can't become a World Series Player of the Year
and so high Global Poker Index
without very talented.
I have about eight years when I have won a million plus,
so I'm proud of the fact that I can use years to win
every year, regardless of the game develop and change.
I can always Stay a step ahead.
That's a great thing about poker
every time you sit you can get better.
You can always play hands a little better or slightly different
and make the situation better and you just need to do it.
Poker online greatly changes the game.
Suddenly, a lot Players are really great.
When you first enter the match, if you don't know someone,
You can assume they are incorrect,
because if you don't know them, That means not yet playing.
Now, you will sit with a small child who seems to have just been old enough to be there
and, meanwhile, he has 20 million hands of experience in the past six months.
Do you know? And he really, very good.
So the factor of anonymity is in and it's different the playing field now,
where the average player is only much better
They play more close to what is optimal.
I think the reason is why Daniel maintains that success rate
and even getting better is because he wants
Adapting to all this Young rifles enter
and all of this is different, new theory in poker He appreciates that,
You know, just because you're good five years ago,
doesn't mean you will be good now,
and you really have to keep up to date with everything
Part of what I like to do when I play is using the skills of my people.
That's not really a choice online, but what I find fun
just like focus basically and math and statistics,
and the amount, I have already been always a geek number
So surely takes some adjustments, a little better understanding
Like, "I can't get away with it doing all my careless things,
because I can't read later in which hand I can, you know,
use that to my advantage."
I decided to relearn many of the things that these children were studying and adjusting to.
And also just realized, "What are the areas that need to be improved?" And being honest with myself.
It's when I go back to playing at Poker Stars
for a while, where I am grind with big cash games - 100, 200.
People like, "Oh, he will do it never succeed!" It's not about them. It's about me testing myself and encouraging myself
I've played this game long and I feel like me has reached my peak
Cos I've combined all movements
with some wisdom and patience and discipline.
I see some kids do something and I like...
"I might have done that 15 years ago, but I know better now."
He grew up and now he... wiser.
He is confident. Although he does have his mistake
He is a little arrogant. He always has to be right.
I remember one time,
we are playing in the same game
And I was defeated with a straight flush.
Daniel said that should bet on the turn. And I said, "I bet on the corner."
And he said, "No, no." I said, "Yes, I did it hands. I bet on the corner."
He said, "I'll bet you $ 20,000 that you don't bet in turn."
I say, "Okay, Daniel, we bet this."
And Phil Ivey also entered the game, so we called Phil
So it feels like sweet!
Finally, you know, I won an argument.
I don't think we ever settled on that bet, by the way.
I might have to call him.
He experiences the phase where his ego explodes.
I like Floyd. This step. Check, check, check.
He compares himself to Floyd Mayweather now.
He is always present cos he is always very hard
Shovel, shovel! I win! Sweet! There's no way you can win now.
He is a very large personality. You will know if you do it on the table with him
You might know if you were in the same room as him.
- Good card, fails well. - Jesus!
He is very important for regulation. I remember, we were playing in the hold & apos; em limit.
Definitely around 2000, I thought.
There are about 17 of us going.
WSOP has just been introduced This new rule is meant by your homeless
must be in your seat when the last card is handled.
And I remember, I was playing on the same table as Daniel,
and my feet are tired, so I stand in my seat,
and I'm stretching. Literally, What I do is stretching.
I don't go anywhere. I'm stretching.
And the dealer handles the last one card and I see Daniel nod to the dealer
Like going, you know, because my bum is not in my seat right.
And suddenly the trader mucked my hands in big blind eyes and I just panicked.
I say, "What are you doing? It's just stupid.
You have to use some common sense here It's crazy."
At that time, I thought, "Is that the service!"
I think, "Lord, you are a snake!" But then I realized, Actually, he's right.
He only plays by rules and that is stupid rules.
Well, my big mouth gets my in trouble on a regular basis basic and I'm fine with that.
He's sort of controversial in some ways, Daniel.
He often goes into it situation. He is not universally liked
I live far from controversy, but Daniel is so vocal
about how they feel about certain players and their behavior,
including myself.
On the one hand, I am rather respected him for that,
except if it is addressed to me.
So there must be some events where
You know, we don't see Four Eyes.
One of them is where he judges from my personal behavior
there is absolutely no to do with him
And, you know, I don't believe, and I still don't believe,
that he has the right to voice his opinion
in front of others about something personal in my life
Sometimes I say something where I cross the line I like, "Okay, yes, oops."
But you will do it when you raise the lane as often as I do.
Sometimes you will fall on one side or the other.
In things like, even the way I say certain things.
After I sent a Tweet, I like it, "Oh, yes, I don't think I should have said it like that."
Daniel is clear feels that he wants to put everything out there
And I don't agree with him about many things.
But he is clear, really, holds that opinion
And he has solid reasoning to hold that opinion
He is willing to discuss. He is willing to be involved.
He is willing to argue.
If you have faith, I don't think the mind hears it I can a civil discussion about it.
Not that I hate you. I can respect others with different views.
I always become someone It is believed to be wholeheartedly
integrity is the most important aspect of being a man.
And part of that, for me, is being honest My true feelings about things.
If you buy a tournament like, anything,
in the re-buy tournament two hours late, for example,
according to this rule, You should only lose three rounds of blinds.
I was two hours late in the last re-buy tournament
and I only have 1,125 of my 2,000.
So how can you be selective enforce rules, not just from tournaments to tournaments,
but in this special tournament? Because I should start with more chips too.
I'm not complaining. I am good with what I started with.
But if you will start other people with more chips, bro, come on!
How you can selectively enforce this rule That doesn't make sense.
He used to be this tribune of the type of character,
which I think some people are found to be quite annoying,
If you are a tribune people, you must be a chosen tribe of the people.
But I think he is all for justice and he is usually right. That is the problem.
Can be justified, right? angry, you know,
Full Tilt scandal.
He might have gone a little too far in some cases
with the right person angry card
I think there is one example where he suggested someone's leg was broken.
I think that might happen go a little too far
Uh, I think he might admit it might be possible.
I already realized that the comment was quite loud
And I already have time to think about what I have said Yes, I think they are really right
I do, Howard. If you listen and watch over us, I do.
I don't think I will have there is a problem with someone
who have $ 15,000 of them hard-earned money on your site
Come to you and bash you on nuts with a baseball bat.
Howard, Ray and Chris, you ask the world of poker to...
You know, accept your brand and play on your site.
Come play and chat with pro. Let's chat with professionals.
There are many people who want to chat with you right now
But suddenly... zip.
I waited a long time. I am right said nothing for months,
hope you can fix the situation, but you are nonsense!
Absolute and flat nonsense to ignore the poker world which you fleeced
for as much money as you do and now you don't need to say anything?
Nobody says ?! Are you freaking seriously?
There are no lawyers in the world who can force you to remain silent as you have.
And it's a shame, disgusting and you deserve a punch in the face _ for what you've done
You do not respect for our community
You must be shunned and excommunicated from us community forever
because of the lack of respect you have shows us by not giving us a single statement
Something for effect, "Wow, I'm so sorry what happened.
I will do everything with my strength to improve the situation. " Nothing.
Instead, you hide like embarrassing little ferrets.
The shy little weasel you are. You three I disgust Bluuh!
If everyone lifts talk In the same way as he does,
it will be different.
You know, at that time, he was indeed right about what he said about certain people Erm, but maybe stretch it a little, I don't know
I have to be honest with myself and part of that tool
I have an opinion and I will share it.
I am aware, wholeheartedly,
that when I stand on something,
it will make some people urinate and others may clap my hands for that
That will only happen when You are just as straightforward as me.
But I prefer that person than someone who has no opinion at all
I don't want to be involved in politics from poker
Daniel is much different.
He voiced his opinion. He knows all of that happens in poker
I have a dispute with the tournament Association of Directors,
in terms of how they apply new rules change
and give themselves some self-appointed powers, if you want
And really kind of blurred lines of their roles.
Rules that make your job easier
no, of course, Make it a better rule.
Rules that players like, what players want,
the players prefer, are the rules that must trump
the idea that he might make is just a little work a little easier
I see the role of from the tournament director...
as a customer service because it's the player
who pays an entrance fee to play in the tournament who pays your salary
Be not a prison guard, captive mentality
And I see a shift, where many regulations are being implemented
it's not recreation friendly player
So I speak, you know, and a lot of time they don't like that
And I appreciate what they do. But if I don't agree with something, I will say it,
regardless of the reply reaction that might create, even if I am the only one who said it.
And very opinionated. That is what we love about him.
I mean, he will give you his opinion whether you like it or not.
And I expect more people like that
At least with Daniel, you always know where you stand
If he doesn't like you, he will do it tell him he doesn't like you
There is nothing fake about him.
And, uh... that's fair like that
Sometimes he gets people's backs.
But he is always present a strong argument
And he is also not insular.
And I sometimes see it He even changes his position
when listening other people's opinions.
But, yes, sometimes Make him a target for people,
which sometimes feels is not the place.
But he's an individual and that's him.
This is a very part of his personality
and, actually, I don't think he will become who he is now
does he play it safely
Is he still mute so many things so far.
I often attach my nose not from TripAdvisor.
I often have a strong opinion and right, if you want, and I are wrong...
You know. I don't know I don't remember
But I'm sure I have been wrong once or twice
And I just hope so you all understand that
I appreciate this award a lot
because that is validation
I stick to what I believe is truly the best for this poker community
Recently, I have seen different sides with it.
He is listening and thinking about other people
My sister changed after my mother's departure
That makes it...
see...
the world is a little different.
Where do you know what?
That support has been lost.
You know, Mrs. Daniel is fine.
And then, he doesn't. It feels like that.
My mother suffers from from heart problems
One day, he had a mild stroke.
He must do it is hospitalized for that
I have to take my mother back to Toronto.
And he is cured, But doctors explain for us...
they need to go back at cos, if not, he might have a bigger stroke.
He reminds us of that a high-risk operation
and I don't really hear it.
I'm like, "Okay, I'm sure it will be fine.
Surgery, doctors, they know what they are doing
Well, that's not good because
That's the last one I ever had talk to my mother,
or finally she can speak For me because during this time, erm,
surgery, when they try to get a blood clot out,
she has a big stroke, where she is right completely paralyzed on his left side.
Never speak a word. Sometimes coma.
And, uh... So for seven, eight months,
He leads "life" where He is bedridden
and can't talk, can't drink water, can't eat food
Just really sad, like.
My brother is in the hospital every day.
I live in Vegas and I will go visit.
There is I remember one day.
I told him, "It's already a surprise to you
But he can't speak, but...
through eye contact we know what is going on.
" I surprise you. "
He looked at me and he was like...
I said, "Daniel is here." And Daniel comes in.
And he is like this. His eyes are on.
So right then, = just have Daniel there Enlighten his world. It's amazing.
It is difficult for him to see his mother in such conditions.
Need a lot from my brother,
due to demands overwriting it.
At that time, His career increased.
He always has to follow with appearance.
It takes a lot of tolls, even with Appearance on the table.
Like, you can see all is not right
And...
I let him know it's okay.
And my mother hung there for a long time.
And finally, said the doctors,
"He gets better. Looks like he might come out next week,
and we will put it in some rehab."
And then my brother, he has annual soccer match he goes to
So, that weekend, he went to a soccer match
Cos she has been to the hospital every day.
I flew to Toronto. I will meet my mother the next morning.
That was the night he died. So fabulous.
Like, so my sister has left and I'm not there,
I feel like he finally feels Peace where he is like, "I No longer need to survive."
After the funeral, uh...
I drive my sister to the airport.
And, er, he returned to Vegas.
Return home
While he walked away,
I looked at him and I told myself...
"He's alone."
But I know Vegas is his home.
He has formed himself exists and...
he has many friends and a lot of support.
I know he will be fine.
Vegas is his home.
It didn't arrive, You know, a few weeks later,
When something funny happens and I want to tell my mother,
and realize that I can't, cos he doesn't exist anymore.
That's when everything kinda hit me
It does change a little .
He becomes a little more
focus on what he wants
and chase them a little more.
Being a little more ambitious and...
a little more care and love,
because he did realize it,
You know, you die and life is short
Like us, the way we behave and act, the way we treat others
You know, life's legacy.
Seeing my sister, I saw my father,
because he is a picture of spitting from him, so...
just down or whatever,
I will call him, he will always do it have a funny story
or act out and make me laugh and remember the good times.
The only regret I have
or sadness, beyond perfect childhood,
is the fact that my parents are no longer
In my house, I grow up, it's always
boisterous, it's always fun,
fun-loving, always music is played
Dancing and singing
Food and drinks.
And I think maybe we have become like our parents a little.
I've started along the path of self-discovery and introspection
When my agent, Brian, does this Of course emotional intelligence,
here in Vegas, call ChoiceCenter, and he says, "Dude, you have to try it."
I go there. The first couple days I like, "Huh? This seems ridiculous," you know?
This isn't really for me, but, Finally, I learned a lot
about what holds me from the best version from myself
I have some kind of experience with a girl who I am really falls in love with
The signs are there right? I know there are many things happening.
And I know all this, but I chose to stay there.
And I haven't realized how many have affected me,
who failed to establish a relationship with That girl, in all fields in my life.
That doesn't just hurt My beliefs are there,
But it hurts my confidence at the poker table
So when I read on the internet people say,
"He is on the hill. All these young people are better than him,"
I began to believe it. "Yeah, maybe they are right. Maybe I can't compete anymore."
So, through the course, I knocked into that trust again.
Like, "Wait a minute, I've done it before. I really can do it again."
I tell my story heartbreak right?
So I say it, Like me being a victim.
And then I retell the story again, where I am 100% responsible That is one of the most liberating experiences I've ever had.
Cos I am aware, I chose all of that.
So that gives me back strength.
I have a coach and I have a plan about how I will do it.
Part of it is watching videos.
I will watch high roller shows
I will talk poker with friends. I will practice poker.
I am studying the game again.
The biggest thing I can shift
is when I'm in a bad place, I'm still there.
I'm still upset, I'm still angry and upset.
I'm still arrogant, I'm still demeaning people.
So instead of being in it place for a week or two,
and be like, "Poor me, Look at me." No, no, no.
"How do I take responsibility? create this situation?
What is my situation right now? How do I want to be? If I make a mistake or I do something wrong, I will Recognize that right?
And then commit to what I will do differently about it.
I look back at everything I have created in my life
and I believe that I am 100% responsible for all of that,
in a sense, like, The good and the bad.
Cos I am responsible for all the decisions I make
Of course, you can use facts I was born to be a good parent
and I don't take it for Indeed, but since then,
erm, I believe that people are right where they are
based on that decision they have made in their lives, good and bad.
He is much more relaxed and a quieter person.
So he moves slowly to humility,
as we all try to do.
Daniel and me, we are always friendly but never a friendship.
And I can say in the end several years that have been really shifted
You know, now I consider Daniel is a true friend.
He is a very solid human being. He has a big heart.
I think he is capable to talk to people.
And listen.
Different from always want to be heard
He can listen now.
And...
Cos now he is attentive.
Want to succeed again.
I am a very person in the idea
everything starts with thoughts, right?
The belief that you can or can't do something Just say clear intentions, if you want
So I am very, very clear on, "what is that I want to achieve it?"
I motivate myself. I put more pressure on myself than others can
Whereas, sometimes when people doubt me, that's my fuel.
When I hear people say I finished, I can't do this or that,
I'm like, "Oh, really? Oh, man, do I want to push this on your face!"
That's what drives me.
In poker, every year I try come with a new way to motivate myself
And I feel it should be nine or ten now.
So in the next few years, I will push very hard
heading, you know, getting back to the race to lead all time in the bracelet.
Also I've almost won a twice EPT title
Grand Final,
that is, you know, crown jewel, is one where I am in fourth position.
And I'm the fourth before that.
EPT is considered very prestigious
There are many intense competition
So after that on my resume is something that doesn't matter to me
I think my brother
just want success on what he likes to do,
whether it's soccer, playing sports...
... and poker
This is not about the money. It's about the bracelet.
Holy Grail, get to the next level
And...
my brother is determined
No matter what, he will get what he wants
I have a wider scope than what I want I want to create in my life.
I focus on what way I can do more important things and things outside poker.
I will always be a poker player and care about that,
but I have many goals that are in different verticals.
I am very, very excited about hockey
may come to Las Vegas
and become part of ownership group
I hope to be minority owners too.
I mean, as a child, growing up in Toronto, the idea of having a piece of NHL team.
Even if it won't happen makes me a lot of money,
This is more a dream come true.
This is really about developing. Using that platform I've been given
makes a difference in the world, in various ways.
One of the events that I Work now is one with St Jude Children's Hospital.
And I'm really inspired by What Germans do, improves for effective giving,
which essentially asks the world of poker is made a difference.
Many people conflict. If you play poker to make a living,
What do you rely on? community? You take money from other people
What will you do to live? live in balance and make sure you contribute?
And one of the ways you can do is by giving it effectively.
Grow big, he always wants hustle, hustle and bustle
and get to the next level.
Now, I think he is able to reflect,
looking back,
and start giving to the community
And now, I know recently, he went to California,
to talk to people in government
and poker help back in the United States
So I think he became poker ambassador.
He is the voice of poker.
When you think from poker, most people think from Daniel Negreanu
Someone I see.
Basically, if he says something, you know, that's what he believes.
That is something, You know, I tried
do in my own life
I don't think You can actually measure it
that contribution Daniel is made for the game.
He has a big influence. I'm sure he must be responsible for many people
learn the game
He wrote a column. He has conducted an interview.
He teaches strategies. He is always there to help people
I see many people go to him for advice
and he never turns anyone down when they need it
It's amazing to see how many people actually don't even play poker
or must be like poker, but Daniel goes beyond that.
He is fun to watch. When he is on TV, you want to watch him,
cos he takes you through the hand process,
he calls it correctly, Most of the time,
and that's what people want to watch
Most people look up Daniel in one way or another,
for his ability as a poker player but also his ability to market the game
At the American Poker Wars, the first ceremony, he was named the poker ambassador and he doesn't have competition because, all year,
he really understands His role, understanding his needs to bring people to poker,
to make it interesting and really publish how nice it is
and what a great experience is for everyone
And he's great at that.
Being an ambassador is the role that I fell into
I feel very comfortable for the match.
And, uh...
It's just that I'm forced to do it
I don't feel as if This is an obligation at all.
It feels like that I like this game.
I want to see it grow and I want to see people enjoying it
and have fun with it, as they always have.
And if I can contribute For that, I will do it.
I also can't think about it many people have done more for poker games today
Nobody deserves it more than that Daniel entered Poker
Hall of Fame Period.
Well, to be appointed at the age of 40,
balloter first time, with Chip Reese,
that I admire as a player and as a person,
certainly an honor.
Hey, my dear
This is recognition of from your peers
From members who live from the Hall of Fame,
Who said that, you know, You are part of the club now.
Most young people, they do not meet the criteria
But Daniel, he crushed it.
Daniel deserves in the Hall of Fame.
He gets a place. He became an extraordinary ambassador.
But he succeeded because from the player he was.
I want to welcome Daniel to Poker 2014 Fame.
I just want to start by saying, this is an absolute honor
and thank you for being here.
Does anyone buy it, right, That's all I have to say?
No, I have to talk a lot.
When I started playing poker as a teenager,
I remember watching the World Poker Series on ESPN
and see people like Phil Hellmuth and Johnny Chan fighting out
and thinking, you know, "I just want to be part of that."
I decided I wanted to make it My mother was proud of what I did,
Because, when I started in the late 90's,
being a professional poker Players are not something heartened.
After all, what do we contribute to society? What do we give back?
I've been in the game for more, I don't know 20 years now,
and I plan to be in this game 40 more years.
I want to be part of the conversation, most of the conversation,
change the definition about what poker players are and what we do
Think about my parents, who, if they are here today,
I know it must be proud. My mother must cook all food
Cos that's what he did, and my father will make sure all his glasses are full,
That is only the type of their people.
I have fair parents love me unconditionally
And I am very grateful and grateful for that.
For me, it's never about the money
My first trip to Las Vegas Was here, actually in the Binion Horseshoe house, downstairs.
I carry banknotes of $ 3,000.
And about 24 hours later,
I have a lot of free time in my hands
I like watching The room goes, "Oh, alright."
So I learned my lesson. But actually the reason is I enter poker
is cos it is a passion for me.
I believe that whatever it is you choose to do in your life,
passionate is a precondition
Wanting it for fame and luck won't bring you there
Unless you have passion for it and that is something You really love, craft,
then you are very unlikely to be successful.
Integrity is a word that is very meaningful to me.
I know maybe the last 15,20 years, I am upset many people.
Some of you are in this room, right?
But I will go to have an opinion
If I stand alone... I have stood alone
many times controversial issue.
But I always tell you what I feel
and what I really like really believe
This reminds me of an Aristotle actual quote
I have never really feared controversy and this one quote summarizes it.
It is said "to avoid criticism nothing to say,
do anything and be nothing".
And that's not the way I live my life
In the course of 20 years,
one of my goals is to make my mother proud of
And I hope by doing it...
.. I have inspired others to dream bigger,
greater life
and also shows the world That's just because we play poker to make a living
does not mean we cannot contribute to society.
So I want to thank everyone here, all the members who live who chose me
I am honored, I am grateful and, erm...
That's all I have.
We always know that that potential is just no ceiling,
get to the sky
The fields he has already have a lot of to do with your character and who you are
It's not just about reading cards and math and statistics, which he is also very clever,
but that's your personality
If your tombstone says "great poker player",
It seems like that life is not fulfilled
I would rather be seen as someone who inspires others.
Someone who gives back, good friend, good brother
A good child
I think both my parents look down on us
and say, "Do you know what?
He does what he says he will do it."
After my parents support it,
the effort, I think, means the world for my brother
Everything about that way I see the world I owe them,
because they teach me that anything is possible
They teach me that, you know, giving is important
You know, they taught me that motivation and encouragement and have fun,
and being friendly, like that is really core,
the things I still do, Until today, views are just as important.
And that comes from them. Translated by: www.subtitlecinema.com
