Canadian Poker Players — All-Time Money List Top 40 (2026)

Canada's forty highest-earning live tournament players, from Daniel Negreanu's $60,677,067 down to the three-million-dollar cutoff at 40th. Every total on this page carries the date it was checked and the source it came from, because live earnings figures move whenever a player cashes.

How deep Canadian poker runs

Canada is one of a small number of countries with two players above fifty million dollars in recorded live earnings. Daniel Negreanu leads on $60,677,067 and Daniel Dvoress is second on $55,680,885, and the gap between them has been narrowing rather than widening. Behind them the list stays unusually thick: four Canadians have passed thirty million, ten have passed nine million, and the fortieth name on the list is still above three million. For a country of Canada's population that is a remarkable density of high-stakes tournament results, and much of it traces back to a cluster of players who came up together in southern Ontario — Toronto and Waterloo appear again and again in the residences on these profiles.

Reading a money list properly

Two numbers on these profiles are easy to misread.

The first is the career total itself. It covers live tournament results only, converted to US dollars. It does not include cash-game winnings, which for several players on this list are believed to exceed their tournament record, and it does not include online results unless a profile says otherwise. A money list is therefore a measure of recorded live tournament success, not of how much money a player has made from poker.

The second is the global rank. The all-time money list ranks a player against everyone who has ever cashed, and it is cumulative, so it keeps filling in underneath a total that has stopped growing. That is why several profiles here show a current global rank hundreds of places below the player's best-ever rank. Glen Chorny, 35th among Canadians, was once 69th in the world and is now 833rd — not because he lost anything, but because prize pools inflated and active players passed him. Where a profile shows a large gap between current and best rank, read it as a career whose biggest years are behind it.

Why two sources can disagree about the same player

Anyone checking a figure here against The Hendon Mob directly should know that the database publishes two kinds of page and they do not always match. Individual player records are live and count everything. Country ranking lists are generated snapshots and state plainly that they exclude results from recurring daily, weekly and monthly events. On 7 October 2026 the two disagreed about Mark Radoja: his player page read $3,770,113 while the Canada list generated the day before showed $3,763,128. Neither page is wrong. Where we have read a player's own record we publish that figure, because it is the larger and more current of the two; where a profile rests on the ranking list alone it says so, and leaves residence, best cash and global rank blank rather than inferring them.

Where the figures come from

All totals derive from The Hendon Mob's Canada All Time Money List and from individual player records, read one page at a time and attributed on each profile with its verification date. Ranks 1 to 30 were checked against the country list generated on 6 October 2026 and agreed to within two dollars; ranks 31 to 40 were added on 7 October 2026.
