"Are grateful for that time"
- My biggest crisis was related to a girl I was in love with Amanda Leatherman. I did not know what place I have long wanted to be in life. But now I am grateful for the time, I worked a lot with myself and managed to understand who I am.
How is your and Amanda's relationship today?
- It's okay, we're friends.
Nowadays, however, Daniel worry about meeting someone. Since January, he and Marissa Rachelle Rodney who works as a hair stylist in Las Vegas. And is his new love on location in Barcelona to support him.
- It's her first trip, she has only been to Mexico before. So this is great fun for both, he says.
"She had no idea"
And Negreanu does not need to be concerned that she chose him for the money.
- We met at a charity event and she had no idea who I was. The first time we went out and it came out a guy to me, she thought it was me who controlled everything. She did not understand why someone wanted a picture of me, haha.
What are your future plans?
- We'll see. Married? You never know, it's a difficult question to answer. She might be listening, haha.
You have been one of the most successful players over a decade. Will you always play poker?
- I will probably always play. But if I have children or I do not want to travel as much.
However Negranu million reasons to keep playing. This year alone, he has recorded over 50 million, according to the British newspaper the Mirror he earns more than both Tiger Woods and Roger Federer.
- I never said it there yourself! It felt ridiculous when I read it, although it may be good for poker that I mentioned along with such big stars. But they are on a different level than I am, 'he says.
"Kill my game in Sweden"
Negreanu, however, is probably more famous than he thinks. Even Barack Obama knows who he is.
- It was a few years ago at a charity event. I stood in line to take a picture with him. And when it was my turn, he looked at me and said: "It is you, the poker guy. We played poker yesterday and my opponent was not so good. "And then he showed $ 60 which he won. I was very surprised that he knew who I was.
Suddenly Marissa into the room.
Daniel: We've been talking about you!
Marissa: Yeah? Only good words, I hope.
How is it to be with a poker player, Marissa?
- I love it! It is fantastic to get here, I'm very grateful for.
And Daniel, how is it to be with Marissa?
- She is very sweet, we have a great chemistry. But now I realize that you are killing my "game" in Sweden. I will never be able to get a girl in Sweden, they are so good looking, haha.
