In 2004, his competition earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they can boost their own game.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
