We are used to storms or thunders but this story belongs to a human thunder from the world of Poker. Eager to know the name, yes he is Daniel Negreanu, the champion of World Poker Finals (Limit Hold’em) with prize money of $38,400, in the year 1997, 9th December. After he finished in two first places at the 1997 World Poker finals at Fox woods, he never looked back. He possesses three World Series Of Poker bracelets, two World Poker Tour titles, and more than thirty victories in tournaments across the world. In his early life he had an uncanny knack for gambling and especially, poker.

At the age of 21 Daniel Negreanu dropped out of college, just a credit shy of graduation, and moved to Las Vegas to drown into poker full-time. This Poker Player has acted as a tutor for upcoming players at Poker School Online. He has written more than hundred articles on the sport. He has even contributed to Doyle Brunson’s ‘Super System II’. At first when he dropped out of his high school he started his life as a rounder, playing at the local charity casinos. At that time he only looked for illegal games around the city.

After he built up his bankroll, he left for Las Vegas to be a Professional Poker Player. But he had to move back to Toronto as ‘The Strip’ got better of him and he had to rebuild his bankroll. His parent’s, Annie and Constantine moved from Romania to Canada in 1967. His luck changed after he got the victory in 1997 with an earning of $133,600. He was named the tournament’s best all-rounder. He became the youngest WSOP bracelet winner in the 1998 by winning $169,460 at the $2,000 Pot Limit Hold’em event in World Series of Poker. By this he held a record until 2004.

In the next few years Daniel Negreanu became one of the most successful Poker Players, in history. He got the title World Series of Poker player in 2004 and World Poker tour player in 2005. He was recruited as the ‘Poker Ambassador’ by Wynn Las Vegas resort, to play any stake in their poker room. It lasted still October 2005 as it became a restriction to his ability to play for high stakes outside the Wynn. This poker player started his own online poker card room in December 2005. It includes his blog and variety of poker forums. He was being a regular at the big game in Bobby’s Room. It is in the Bellagio casino, Las Vegas.

This poker player always seeks for new challenges and sets high goals for himself. The most interesting thing is that he sets his targets also in golf course. Daniel Negreanu is a very outspoken person about the game results, and he posts updates in the forums at the Full Contract Poker website in a regular basis. He married Lori Lin Weber on 19th August, 2005. He stays in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is fond of music like ocean waves. As per this poker player he pans on headphones as it helps him to relax so that he can win. Daniel Negreanu’s secret is, he observes what hands his opponents play and how capable they are of playing, the reason why he became the thunder.

Considered by many poker superstars to be “the best unknown player in the world”—a label first bestowed by Phil Hellmuth on Card Player’s “The Circuit” radio show, Canadian Yukon Brad Booth has firmly established himself amongst poker’s elite players. Long a mainstay in the biggest cash games in Las Vegas casinos, Brad plays in the staggering side action (including $200-$400 No Limit Hold ‘Em) amongst the world’s top players with the likes of Phil Laak, Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Greenstein, and Johnny Chan. Booth has recently expanded upon his poker-playing repertoire to include tournament play, with results equally impressive to his consistent dominance in side games. Most notably, Booth this past June played his way to a third-place finish in the World Poker Tour’s Mandalay Bay Championship, earning himself a hefty payday of nearly $320,000.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Canadian Poker Player Booth honed his unique playing style in the same sort of smoky, backroom games that poker legends such as Doyle Brunson and T.J. Cloutier once populated decades earlier in Texas. Unlike many of today’s younger breed of player, Booth, now 31, never read a poker book while learning the game, instead relying upon experience and an acute instinct for reading people and situations to achieve his success.

However, that acute instinct was a developed at price. Bradley, at the age of 16, felt as though his scholastic pursuits, within the confines of a classroom, had reached a quintessential defining moment – he made the decision to leave. Unfortunately, Mr. Booth had just negotiated with his parents that he would receive a car upon completion of the school year. As Bradley’s choices were mutually exclusive, he opted for a cover-up. In an endless succession of stealthy covert operations, he snuck out of the house each morning with his Little Caesar’s Pizza uniform taking the place of his books. He worked at the pizza parlour, funding his nightly romps at the poker table. Again, the undercover, and underage Booth, gained access to private card rooms throughout western Canada. As he had yet to secure the car at this point, young Bradley traversed the lower mainland on the good graces of his friendly neighbours. Often reaching into his pocket for his last $8 on a round of $4-8 Limit Hold ‘Em desperately trying to get three way action so he could get right back into the game. Unfortunately, Brad found himself destitute after many of his card room escapades- forcing him to hitch-hike to and from his house, work, and newly assumed night owl position as a burgeoning young poker room shark. As his parents were operating under the auspices Brad was both attending school and engaging in some very late night ‘study sessions’ – Brad received his reward of an ’87 Chevy Sprint to transport him, to and from his studies… at the card room.

It was those back alley smoke-filled card rooms that gave Brad Booth his flair and flavour. Utilising an unparalleled aggressive style, friendly table banter, and his carefree and effervescent personality, Mr. Booth quickly caught the eye of poker legend, Doyle Brunson when they played together at the 2005 World Series of Poker. Recognizing Bradley as a talent to bank on in the near future, Doyle signed Booth under the banner of DoylesRoom.com, an online poker site with many notable poker professionals. As a pioneer of the online poker world, Booth’s swift and assertive play has translated to some real world success. With some impressive cashes including $87,755 at the 2005 Fiesta al Lago No-Limit Hold’em, $48,300.00 at the 2005 4th Annual Five Diamond World Poker Classic, as well as $43,935.00 at the 2006 4th Annual Five-Star World Poker Classic, coupled with the dedication and conviction required to sit in 16 hour sessions every day for 3 years; it is no wonder why this Yukon resident has caught the eye of this legend.
