Frequently asked questions
Who is the highest-earning Canadian poker player?
Daniel Negreanu, with $60,677,067 in recorded live tournament earnings as of 2 October 2026. Daniel Dvoress is second with $55,680,885 and is closing the gap faster than anyone else on the list.
Has a Canadian ever won the WSOP Main Event?
Yes — Jonathan Duhamel won the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2010. He is sixth on Canada's all-time money list with $18,009,548. Alex Livingston's third place in 2019 is the deepest Canadian run since.
Who is the highest-earning Canadian woman in poker?
Kristen Foxen, fifth overall on the Canadian all-time money list with $19,238,670. Xuan Liu is the next highest, 29th with $4,236,471.
Why do some players' global rankings look worse than their best ever?
Because the all-time money list is a ranking against everyone else, not a score. Prize pools have grown steadily, so a career total that stops growing drifts down the list as newer players pass it. A large gap between a player's current and best-ever rank usually means their biggest years are behind them.
Where do these earnings figures come from?
From the Canadian all-time money list and individual player records, checked page by page and attributed on each profile with the date of verification. They cover live tournament results in US dollars only — not cash games, and not online play unless a profile says so.
