Negreanu experiences 'unlucky' birthdays

2008-07-30 14:36:47

July 26th is never a successful day for Daniel Negreanu as far as poker is concerned.

Kid Poker claimed in Full Contact Poker blog that he always loses money on the date, which happens to be his birthday.

The Canadian lost more than $40,000 online for his anniversary this year and was also unsuccessful in a $109 buy-in competition.

"I hate birthdays, what a lame birthday," Negreanu remarked, adding that he hasn't "won money on my birthday in like … well, never".

The 34-year-old is one the most successful poker players of all time, having won four World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and two World Poker Tour titles.

He is fourth on the all-time live tournament money list, according to the Hendon Mob, having earned $10,448,562.

Only Jamie Gold, Joe Hachem and Phil Hellmuth have won more and they hold the advantage of having taken down the WSOP main event, the richest competition in cards.
