Daniel Negreanu is No. 1 tournament knockout target, according to PokerStars poll

Daniel Negreanu has topped a worldwide poll of poker players as the person most people would like to knock out of a poker tournament, in a survey conducted by PokerStars.com, an Amaya Inc. brand.

The "Poker Brat," Phil Hellmuth, was the second most popular choice, with 10-time World Series of Poker champion Phil Ivey in third.

The survey coincides with the release of PokerStars Knockout Poker – a tournament format exclusively available online at PokerStars. Every time a player knocks out another player, they win a share of the tournament prize money. This gives more players more chances to win, more often.

Football superstar Neymar Jr will be the face of PokerStars Knockout Poker as it launches with a comprehensive marketing campaign globally. "I love winning on the football pitch, and I love the opportunity to win instantly in Knockout Poker," said Neymar Jr. "It takes an ordinary game of poker and makes it more fun, with more winning moments!"
