Anytime KidPoker goes deep in a WSOP, there’s chance that Daniel Negreanu takes a step closer toward winning another bracelet. Negreanu ended a lengthy drought this summer when he won the 2024 WSOP $50,000 Poker Players Championship. It was nearly 16 years in between victories for his sixth and seventh bracelet. He came close to bracelet #8 and a second one in three-plus months in 2024 in a WSOP Online Domestic event.
Th WSOP Online Domestic included players in Nevada, New Jersey, and Michigan. Negreanu was the big stack in Event #9 $500 PLO 6-Max at WSOP Online. He had tweeted that he was the chip leader with 100 players to go, the chip leader with 50 to go, and the chip leader with 10 remaining. Alas, it was not meant to be and Negreanu hit the virtual rail in sixth place for $6,125.62. Instead, Matthew ‘The_founder’ Davis shipped the bracelet.
Early bracelet winners so far include Paul Scaturro, Sandeep Mathai, Tyler Hirschfeld, Joshua Remitio, Anthony Huntsman, Dylan Linde, and David Alta. Severa noteworthy players went deep but missed winning an online bracelet including Ben Yu, Tony Dunst, Brent Roberts, Brett Halladay and David Funkhouser.
