Daniel Negreanu Secures Eighth WSOP Bracelet in $100,000 PLO High Roller

Daniel Negreanu won the $100,000 PLO High Roller event at the 2026 World Series of Poker, claiming over $2.2 million in prize money and his eighth WSOP bracelet. The victory came after a rough series where he was down over $500,000. Negreanu was second in chips at the final table, where he faced off against Artur Martirosian.

Negreanu's final opponent was Artur Martirosian, who started the heads-up battle with a solid chip lead. Negreanu won a big pot to give him a commanding lead. From there, it was all Daniel. Martirosian tried to get back in the match, doubling up once along the way, but it wasn't enough. On the final hand, all the chips went in the middle before the flop, and Negreanu flopped the wheel. The turn card brought no help whatsoever for Martirosian, and it was all over.

With this victory, Negreanu picked up just over $2.2 million, guaranteeing that his 2026 WSOP will be a profitable one. He’s also upped his WSOP bracelet count to eight, which is probably even more important for Daniel. The moment the last card was dealt, you didn’t need to be anywhere near the table to know who won. Cheers and applause from the rail made it very clear.
