Daniel Negreanu won his second World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in three years on Thursday, and he locked up a winning summer.
The GGPoker ambassador returned to action for Day 3 with the second-largest stack out of four in the $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event. He exited Paris Las Vegas with all the chips, his eighth bracelet, and $2,257,718.
Fans Cheer Negreanu on to Victory
Negreanu, who ended an 11-year bracelet drought in 2024 when he won the Poker Players Championship, outlasted a field of 83 entries in the PLO event. Word quickly spread that the poker legend was big stacked at the final table, and it drew in a large and loud crowd to cheer on arguably the most popular poker player ever.
$100k PLO Final Table Results
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Daniel Negreanu | $2,517,718 |
| 2 | Artur Martirosian | $1,477,434 |
| 3 | Chris Frank | $1,002,107 |
| 4 | Philip Sternheimer | $705,448 |
| 5 | Yosuke Miki | $516,160 |

The Negreanu support began to get to at least one opponent — Philip Sternheimer, who busted in fourth place for $705,448.
Negreanu had a rough start on the final day, losing half his stack. But he quickly went on a heater and spun it up not only into a chip lead but, at one point, more than 2:1 in chips after Sternheimer busted. Artur Martirosian, however, battled back, while Chris Frank was stuck in a distant third place.
Martirosian won a big pot against Negreanu to take over the chip lead, a lead that only lasted a few minutes. Frank would double-up, but then lost his entire stack to Martirosian, who began heads-up play with nearly twice as many chips as “DNegs.”
Negreanu, who won his first PLO bracelet event, came right back to regain control of the match. Martirosian, winner of the $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em earlier this summer, is no slouch in PLO. He has three Triton Poker titles in the popular poker variant. But he couldn’t outlast Negreanu in the end and had to settle for second place and $1,477,434.
Negreanu, with this win, has cracked the $60 million mark in lifetime live tournament cashes tracked by The Hendon Mob. He also moved out of the red for the summer and has locked up a profitable 2026 World Series of Poker. His vlog on Friday morning should be entertaining.
This is a developing story… PokerNews will publish a full recap shortly, including an interview with the champion and full details of the final day’s action.
