About Daniel Alaei

Name	Daniel Alaei
Current Residence	Las Vegas Nev.

Daniel Alaei might just be the most underrated player in poker.

The Sante Fe Springs, California, resident has quietly carved out a niche for himself as a successful cash game player who has somehow amassed an incredible $3.7 million in live tournament winnings.

Despite being relatively young, Alaei has been involved in the poker industry since the start of the poker boom in 2003. He is both well-known and respected by the high stakes poker community.

Although he prefers higher buy-in tournaments, Alaei has an impressive record at the WSOP since 2005 that includes 17 cashes, two WSOP bracelets and a deep run in the 2007 Main Event.

In 2009 Alaei added to his considerable success at the WSOP by finally recording a World Poker Tour victory at the WPT Doyle Brunson World Poker Classic for a $1.5 million payday.
