He hasn\u2019t won a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet since 2013, despite several attempts each year to end his bracelet drought. His latest recorded tournament victory took place in 2015, when he won nearly $1 million during season 2 of Shark Cage.<\/p>\n<p>He recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/doug-polk-defeats-daniel-negreanu-in-grudge-match-and-pockets-over-1-2-million\">lost $1.2 million in his grudge match against Doug Polk<\/a>. And now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/phil-hellmuth-beats-daniel-negreanu-for-second-straight-time-on-high-stakes-duel\">Hellmuth has defeated him twice<\/a> in their ongoing heads-up battle, despite coming in as a strong favorite to win the match. <\/p>\n<p>But Negreanu\u2019s overall tournament record is one of the best, and that\u2019s why he is considered a legend in the game. He has six WSOP bracelets and two World Poker Titles under his name; he is the only player to win the WSOP POY title twice; he is among the biggest tournament poker winners of all time, with more than $42 million in total live earnings. <\/p>\n<p>Negreanu has also made it big playing cash games and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/blog\/guide-to-online-poker-tournament-strategy\">competing in online poker tournaments<\/a>. He is also a Poker Hall of Famer. So, does \u201c<em>DNegs<\/em>\u201d really need to prove himself in his third encounter with \u201c<em>The Poker Brat<\/em>\u201c? With his recent losses, is Negreanu\u2019s poker legacy now at stake? <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"negreanu-will-remain-a-poker-legend\">Negreanu Will Remain A Poker Legend<\/h2>\n<p>Polk despite being a long-time critic of the GGPoker Ambassador, doesn\u2019t believe he still needs to prove himself. For one, Negreanu is competing against Hellmuth in a sit-n-go style format, in a relatively smaller sample size, compared to his previous heads-up battles.<\/p>\n<p>Even without winning titles for quite a long time now, Negreanu has still managed to amass almost $23 million in cash and made multiple final tables. It\u2019s safe to say that he is still performing well despite the lack of a major title. Maybe he is just being judged unfairly by many in the poker community, but that\u2019s just how things go in poker and in the world of sports in general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are set for Round 3 of their heads-up match on PokerGO\u2019s High Stakes Duel, and for some, there\u2019s increasing pressure on \u201cDNegs\u201d to prove that he\u2019s still one of the poker GOAT\u2019s.
