Daniel Negreanu wrapped up his fourth PokerGO Tour win of the year on Sunday to claim a tasty $265,000 in the sixth event of the Pot Limit Omaha Series II in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The face of GGPoker has been on somewhat of a heater in 2024, both in US online poker<\/a> and in live tournaments, highlighted by his first WSOP bracelet in over a decade in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.<\/p>\n

Once again, Negreanu was toppling big names in the $10,100 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha tournament event. Here\u2019s how the stacks looked at the final table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

6<\/td>Matthew Wantman<\/td>390,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

There\u2019s definitely more satisfaction when beating the best in the business, as we recently heard from Bryn Kenney\u2019s dig at Phil Hellmuth.<\/a> That being said, DNegs will be pumped to have cleaned up at a table which could\u2019ve been ripped straight from an episode of Poker After Dark<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it went down.<\/p>\n

Foxen Starts Day 2 Ahead<\/span><\/h2>\n

Alex Foxen, who\u2019d already won close to $350,000 in live high rollers over the last month, started the day with a marginal lead over the second-placed Negreanu. It didn\u2019t take long before Foxen sent Nacho Barbero home after flopping a set of kings and cracking the Argentine’s aces.<\/p>\n

However, it was Negreanu who would then steal the show. First, he won a couple of significant pots against Foxen, including a big river bluff with 8<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>7<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>4<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span><\/span> against Q<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>J<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>9<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span><\/span> on a 8<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>7<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>9<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>5<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>5<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span><\/span> board.<\/p>\n

Then, he knocked out Nick Schulman and Jeremy Ausmus in back-to-back hands.<\/p>\n

Negreanu opened for 300,000 with 9<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>7<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>7<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>3<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span><\/span> and Schulman jammed his remaining stack of 725,000 with J<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>J<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>3<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>2<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span><\/span>. The 5<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>4<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>3<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>K<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span><\/span> runout brought a straight for Negreanu to wrap up the hand and send Schulman packing.<\/p>\n

The very next hand, it was all in pre-flop again, this time between Negreanu\u2019s K<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>J<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>10<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>7<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span><\/span> and the A<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>K<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>8<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>3<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span><\/span> of Ausmus. It was pretty much a coin flip going in, but Negreanu flopped top pair and turned trips on the 9<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>J<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>3<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>J<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span><\/span> board to make it two-for-two.<\/p>\n

Not long after, and with less than a 10bb stack in the small blind, Matthew Wantman limp-called pre with K<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>J<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>9<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>8<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span><\/span> against Negreanu\u2019s A<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>Q<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>2<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span><\/span>. Wantman then jammed on the Q<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>J<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span><\/span> flop and was snapped off by Negreanu’s two pair.<\/p>\n

Wantman still had a 34% chance to win the hand but Negreanu upgraded to a boat on the Q<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span><\/span> turn and that was all she wrote.<\/p>\n

Negreanu Wins Again<\/span><\/h2>\n

This gave Negreanu a commanding 3:1 chip lead moving into heads-up play. Just as Foxen appeared to be clawing his way back into contention, he ran into full house over full house. The river on the Q<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>10<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>Q<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>A<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>10<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span><\/span> was the worst thing that could\u2019ve happened for Foxen and his A<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>10<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>7<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>4<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span><\/span>, who then got into a raising match with Negreanu\u2019s superior A<\/span>♥<\/span><\/span>Q<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>2<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

That winning hand saw Negreanu pick up just over $265,000 and move into second on the PokerGO Tour leaderboard for 2024, marking a great year for the renowned poker pro. And, with GGPoker acquiring the WSOP brand<\/a> earlier this year, we will likely see more of Negreanu in major tournaments in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
