Table Of Contents
GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu and WPT Global Ambassador Phil Ivey have a combined 18 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. By the end of the day, that number could rise to as many as 20.
The Poker Hall of Famers both have a shot to win a bracelet, in separate events. Ivey is chasing the biggest win of his career, while Negreanu is attempting to win his second WSOP title in the past three years.
Ivey and Negreanu have won bracelets in the same year twice — 2013 and 2024.
Ivey Seeking Biggest Win of His Career
Ivey, who has turned it up a few notches after a slow start to the summer, reached the final six in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship. Day 5, livestreaming on YouTube, saw Kristopher Tong bow out in sixth place before the stream began.
Ivey came out firing early in the session, but quickly lost a significant chunk of his stack while Benny Glaser, seeking his ninth bracelet, began to run away from the competition.
For Ivey, a win in the PPC would be the biggest win of his career in terms of prestige, and he was already widely considered the greatest poker player ever. The $1,343,764 he could win for first place would bring the World Poker Tour (WPT) ambassador over $56 million in The Hendon Mob live tournament cashes. More importantly, he'd win his 12th bracelet, coming to within five of Phil Hellmuth's record.
Ivey last won a bracelet in 2024, ending a 10-year drought, in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship. He's going for something even bigger on Thursday, but he'll have to work his way through about as difficult of a final table as he could possibly face.
Negreanu's Magic Eight Ball Coming Today?
Negreanu was the short stack in the $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed when the final table began, but for a player of "Kid Poker's" caliber, a comeback would surprise no one.
The seven-time WSOP bracelet winner has endured a frustrating but productive summer, making the final nine just once in the $600 No Limit Hold'em/Pot Limit Omaha, while bubbling the final table on multiple occasions. The most painful of those near-misses came in the $50,000 Pot Limit Omaha High Roller, where he bowed out in 11th place.
Negreanu claimed his last bracelet in 2024 in the Poker Players Championship, the same event that Ivey is currently battling to win. To secure title number eight today, he'll need to navigate a formidable field: multi-bracelet winner Dylan Linde and defending champion Lou Garza, who is chasing a remarkable back-to-back title, are among those standing in his way.
Negreanu hit a straight flush at the final table to double-up against the full house held by Finnish pro Eelis Parssinen, one of the top PLO players in the world.
