Daniel Negreanu wins $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha for $2,517,718

Daniel Negreanu is still the most popular poker player in the world and may have gained even more fans after his phenomenal performance on Thursday. The GGPoker pro and poker legend has added one of the most illustrious bracelets in the game to his historic resume, winning the $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha title for $2,517,718.

For Negreanu, this is his eighth career WSOP bracelet and the fourth-largest cash in his career, only beaten by a pair of Super High Roller Bowl top-two finishes and a runner-up finish in the 2014 $1,000,000 buy-in Big One for One Drop.

Negreanu also becomes just the ninth player in poker history to amass over $60,000,000 in career live tournament earnings, leapfrogging Alex Foxen on poker’s all-time money list.

Daniel Negreanu came into the third and final day of competition in second place with just four players left. As expected, one of the largest rails of the entire tournament surrounded the table in the Paris Las Vegas ballroom. He still had to get past an extremely tough trio of opponents in Artur Marirosian, Chris Frank, and Philip Sternheimer in order to claim his eighth bracelet.

Sternheimer would be the first to bust, leaving Martirosian and Negranu far ahead of Chris Frank. Despite Negreanu losing around half his stack at the start of the day, he began three-handed play with more than a two-to-one lead on Martirosian. However, by the time it got to heads-up play between him and the Russian, Martirosian had a three-to-two chip lead of his own.

After Martirosian initially extended his lead, Negreanu won a pair of huge hands, including when he successfully bluffed all-in, to take the chip lead. He would shortly extend the lead to three-to-two, and then chipped away to take a massive 11-to-1 lead.

With Martirosian down to just 10 big blinds, he got his stack in with against Negreanu’s . To Negreanu’s delight, the flop was . While Negreanu initially noticed his nut-flush draw, he then realized he flopped the wheel, leaving Martirosian with just a five percent chance to win.

The turn was the , which gave Negreanu the win. Negreanu turned to Martirosian, shook his hand, and said “GG buddy” before kissing his wife, Amanda, and letting out a giant “WOOOOOOO!”

Daniel Negreanu’s reaction

Daniel Negreanu famously broke an 11-year bracelet drought in 2024 in style, winning the Poker Players Championship. Now, Negreanu can add another accolade, having won his first-ever Pot-Limit Omaha bracelet.

“I’ve been doing so well in the PLOs,” Negreanu told PokerOrg. “I’ve played seven and cashed in all but one. I’ve always said that I’m at the top of tier 2, but I might have elevated myself to the bottom of tier 1 now.”

He then told WSOP’s Jeff Platt: “I’ve never lost heads-up at PLO in my entire life. He [Martirosian] said that as well, but we kept that streak alive.”

Daniel Negreanu now moves up to eighth on the WSOP Player of the Year leaderboard, which now has him in touching distance of Shaun Deeb with the rest of WSOP Las Vegas and WSOP Paradise to go. With his latest bracelet win, he can definitely consider himself squarely back in the mix.

“That (a third WSOP Player of the Year title) is always a possibility. You never give up. I’m a big Rocky guy, and boxing’s a great analogy. You keep getting punched in the face, and you keep getting knocked down, but the champions are the ones who keep getting up.”
