World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winners Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu simultaneously featured at separate final tables at the 2026 WSOP. Both Poker Hall of Fame inductees were in contention for additional bracelets, with Ivey chasing a career-defining victory and Negreanu aiming for his second WSOP title in three years.
Phil Ivey competed in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, entering Day 5 among the final six players. Despite an early surge, he faced strong competition, notably from Benny Glaser. A win for Ivey would have marked his 12th bracelet and brought his live tournament cashes via The Hendon Mob to over $56 million, solidifying his reputation as a top player. He concluded the event in 3rd position, earning $600,698.
Daniel Negreanu, navigating the $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed event, started the final table as the short stack. Negreanu, a seven-time WSOP bracelet winner, has experienced a productive but challenging summer, including several near-misses at other final tables. His pursuit of an eighth bracelet required him to overcome a field that included multi-bracelet winner Dylan Linde and defending champion Lou Garza. Negreanu ultimately finished 7th, taking home $152,954.
Both players previously secured bracelets in the same years, specifically 2013 and 2024. Ivey's last bracelet win was in 2024 in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship, ending a decade-long drought. Negreanu's most recent bracelet came in the 2024 Poker Players Championship, the same event Ivey was competing in.
