#5 – Scott Montgomery
This young man from Perth in Ontario had a bumper year in 2010, winning his first WSOP bracelet at the £1000 No Limit Hold’em Event.  His most spectacular prize to date, though, came when he finished fifth at the 2008 WSOP Main Event, winning $3,088,012.  Scott’s poker winnings now total $4,109,854.

#4 – Nenad Medic
6 foot 4 inches of solid, rippling muscle could be an intimidating sight before any action ensues, but when Nenad Medic plays, the aggression levels reach stratospheric heights.  He is a nice person away from the table, but if you see him in front of you across the velvet, be afraid – be very afraid.  He won a WSOP bracelet in 2008, and now has poker winnings totaling $4,359,505.

#3 – Tuan Lam
Born in war-torn Vietnam in 1966, Tuan Lam arrived in Canada as a 19-year-old.  He learned how to play poker from friends whilst working as a general laborer – then made it to the final table of the 2007 WSOP Main Event.  In addition, that is when his life changed: he returned to Mississauga $4,840,981 richer.  He has been a regular at the WSOP ever since, and has amassed total poker winnings of $4,851,424.

#2 – Jonathan Duhamel
Leaping into second place with total poker winnings of $9,067,272 is a young man from Boucherville, Quebec.  Jonathan Duhamel only became legally eligible to play at the WSOP in 2010.  Incredibly, the 23-year-old went on to win at the final table, stashing a stunning $8,944,310.

#1 – Daniel Negreanu
Its official: Daniel Negreanu is not only the number one money winning Canadian poker pro; he is the number one money-winning player in the world!  This year, his total poker winnings reached an Olympian $14,131,104.  In addition, got bragging rights over no fewer than four WSOP bracelets, too.
