TL;DR
Daniel Negreanu claimed his second World Series of Poker bracelet in three years, winning the $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event. The victory earned him $2,257,718 and marked his eighth career WSOP bracelet.
Daniel Negreanu concluded a successful summer by winning the $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event at the World Series of Poker. The GGPoker ambassador, starting Day 3 with the second-largest stack among four competitors, secured his eighth career bracelet and a prize of $2,257,718.
Negreanu's triumph in the PLO event, which drew 83 entries, occurred concurrently with Day 1 of the WSOP Main Event. The simultaneous timing contributed to an enthusiastic crowd gathering to support him. This victory follows his win at the Poker Players Championship in 2024, ending an 11-year bracelet drought.
The final table saw Negreanu overcome an early setback on Day 3, where he lost half his stack. He then mounted a comeback, building a significant chip lead. Though Artur Martirosian briefly challenged for the lead and began heads-up play with a chip advantage, Negreanu's experience in PLO allowed him to regain control and secure the win. Philip Sternheimer, who placed fourth, expressed frustration with the vociferous support for Negreanu from the rail.
Negreanu commented on his performance, stating, "I ran good heads-up, but I also played really well." He attributes his success in Pot-Limit Omaha to the game's alignment with his skillset, adding, "I don't study the game with solvers or anything, because, frankly, I don't need to, because the game makes sense to me. I eat it, I breathe it, I sleep it. I'm in the moments, I play by feel."
This victory pushes Negreanu's lifetime live tournament earnings past the $60 million mark, as tracked by The Hendon Mob. The win also ensured a profitable 2026 World Series of Poker campaign for him.
