Daniel Negreanu Secures Eighth WSOP Bracelet in $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Negreanu won his eighth WSOP bracelet in the $100,000 pot-limit Omaha event.

Negreanu's victory earned him $2,257,718, making it the fourth-largest payday of his career. With this win, Negreanu's lifetime earnings now sit at $59,697,774, putting him back inside the top ten on poker’s all-time money list. Negreanu is now tied with Nick Schulman, who was one spot shy of earning his ninth bracelet less than a week ago.

The 83-entry turnout for this event made for a prize pool of $7,968,000, with only the top 13 finishers making the money. The six-figure bubble burst on day 2, with three-time bracelet winner Naoya Kihara being the last to be sent to the rail empty-handed. Negreanu, Martirosian Surge Early On Final Day The third and final day began with five players remaining and Frank in the lead. Negreanu soon overtook the top spot, though, after he won a hefty pot against Frank in the early going. Yosuke Miki was the first to fall, getting the last of his stack in with a set of jacks against the nut straight of Artur Martirosian. Martirosian’s surge up the leaderboard continued after he eliminated bracelet winner Philip Sternheimer in fourth place. Even with those two knockouts, Negreanu remained ahead going into three-handed play. Martirosian pulled close, then ahead, only to give the lead up again. Heads-Up For Glory With that, Martirosian took roughly a 3:2 chip lead into the final battle, where he was looking to score his fifth career bracelet after winning his fourth earlier this summer in the $25,000 no-limit hold’em six-max event.
