Daniel Negreanu Wins 7th WSOP Bracelet, Ending 11-Year Drought for Canadians

Daniel Negreanu has ended an 11-year drought for Canadians, winning his seventh World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in Las Vegas. The victory came in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, a prestigious event that took five days to complete due to its slow structure and 90-player field.

Negreanu began the final table in second place behind Chris Brewer. David Benyamine, the short stack, was the first to go in fifth place. Dylan Smith followed, leaving three bracelet winners at the table. Brewer, who started as the chip leader, was eliminated in third place.

The heads-up battle between Negreanu and Bryce Yockey saw a significant pot won by Negreanu in a PLO round, giving him the lead. This crucial win led to Negreanu's victory, ending an 11-year wait for another Canadian bracelet in Las Vegas.

Daniel Negreanu's win in the $50K Poker Players Championship earned him a top prize of $1,178,703. This victory marks his seventh bracelet, further cementing his status as one of poker's all-time greats. His win also sets a new record for the biggest first-place prize in the event's history, surpassing Michael Mizrachi's 2018 WSOP win of $1,239,126.
