For someone that has his sexuality questioned almost daily on one poker forum or another, Daniel Negreanu sure dates a lot of beautiful women! Negreanu, who was most recently attached to poker hostess Amanda Leatherman, and has dated other poker players like Evelyn Ng in the past, seems to be keeping his streak of dating mediocre players with amazingly good looks alive, after revealing on QuadJacks that he met his new girlfriend Krisztina Polgár at the 2011 WSOP:
“I met my new girlfriend at the World Series. She plays poker too. She just came up, she was just saying hi, ’cause she knew some friends and stuff. So, we just started, you know, hitting it off, and she’s super cool. She lives in Budapest, Hungary. She was Miss Earth Hungary in 2008. She’s there now, but I’m gonna go visit in a bit. You will like her, Mike. Her name is Krisztina Polgár.”
Negreanu was spotted talking to Polgar in the WSOP bleachers during the Main Event coverage, which was the first hint that he and Leatherman had broken up. For an aging, 5-foot-nothing, 130lb poker player, Negreanu definitely does very well with the ladies –but $14 million in career tournament earnings, and likely a similar number in cash-game winnings and endorsements will do that for you; not to mention he is considered one of the nicest people in poker.
Polgar has one live tournament cash on her resume according to thehendonmob.com, and was apparently taught the game by her ex-boyfriend, poker pro Richard Toth, who is himself a member of Team PokerStars Hungary.
In addition to her poker skills, Polgar was crowned Miss Earth Hungary in 2008, has done a number of modeling shoots, and is a celebrity in Hungary –go Google her pictures and you’ll see why!
