Daniel Negreanu Holds Huge Stack at WSOP $100K Final Table

Daniel Negreanu, known as "Kid Poker," achieved the second-largest chip count with 11,465,000 at the unofficial final table of the $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event at the World Series of Poker. After being down over $500,000 earlier in the summer, a top-five finish in this event, where the winner stands to claim $2,257,718, would put him back into profit.

This marks Negreanu's third final table appearance this series. He previously secured eighth place in the $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack for $24,347 and seventh in the $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed for $152,954. Winning this event would not only bring him financial recovery but also his eighth career WSOP bracelet.

Artur Martirosian currently leads the final table with 14,320,000 chips, seeking his second bracelet of the summer and fifth overall. Martirosian previously eliminated Naoya Kihara in 14th place, ensuring all remaining players secured a minimum payout of $204,938. Sean Winter and Jeremy Ausmus are also contending for the title.
