Gustav Hansen

Gustav Hansen (born February 13, 1974 outside Copenhagen, Denmark) is a professional Danish poker player who lives in Monaco.[1] In his poker career Hansen has won a record three World Poker Tour open titles, the 2007 Aussie Millions main event and was the season one winner of the Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament.

Before turning to playing poker professionally in 1997, Hansen was a world class backgammon player and a youth tennis champion. He was known for being a sports enthusiast throughout his teens, competing in several indoor and outdoor sports as a successful junior athlete. In 2000, he moved to New York City, and tried to make a living playing professional backgammon, but found the field too small for his taste.

He calls himself a professional gambler and has been known to take private bets on various personal athletic challenges (such as running), other than poker and professional sports.


Daniel Negreanu

A native of Toronto, Daniel Negreanu recognized early on in his life he had a knack for gambling and, more specifically, poker. So confident was he that at the age of 21 Daniel dropped out of college - just one credit shy of graduation - and moved to Las Vegas to pursue poker full-time.

With two first place finishes at the 1997 World Poker Finals at Foxwoods, Daniel took the world of tournament poker by storm and never looked back. He has since added three World Series of Poker bracelets, two World Poker Tour titles, and more than thirty victories in tournaments across the globe.

Daniel has acted as a tutor for up-and-coming players at our own Poker School Online, written more than a hundred articles on the sport, and even contributed to Doyle Brunson's 'Super System II.'

Negreanu currently resides in Las Vegas with his wife, Lori, and continues to be the model of composure and success for the new generation of poker players.
