Daniel Negreanu currently sits in 2nd place with 11,465,000 chips as he looks to win his first WSOP bracelet of the summer at the unofficial final table of the $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha.
As of last week, Negreanu was down more than $500,000 at this year’s World Series of Poker, but that could all be about to change. With $2,257,718 awaiting the winner, a fifth-place finish or better would erase that deficit entirely.
Despite those numbers, this marks Kid Poker’s third final table of the series, having previously finished eighth in the $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em/Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack for $24,347 and seventh in the $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed for $152,954.
If Negreanu can go all the way, he would not only move back into substantial profit for the summer but also capture the eighth WSOP bracelet of his career.

Martirosian Leads as He Looks for Bracelet No.2 in 2026
While Negreanu is the second-largest stack at the time of writing, there’s a familiar face in the number one spot: Artur Martirosian.
The Russian high-stakes crusher is on the hunt for his second WSOP bracelet of the summer and fifth overall, as he and Negreanu have pulled clear of the field throughout the afternoon on Day 2.
Although Martirosian was never in danger of bubbling this event, he’ll no doubt be relieved to avoid a repeat of the $100,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller, where he suffered a cruel twist of fate after having pocket aces cracked twice in quick succession on the money bubble to miss out on a huge payday.
Still, he burst it himself here, sending Naoya Kihara to the rail, who is enjoying a career summer, in 14th place, ensuring he and the rest of the remaining field locked up the minimum $204,938.
Elsewhere in the counts, Sean Winter has spun up a big stack as he continues his search for a maiden WSOP bracelet that has so far somehow eluded him, while Jeremy Ausmus is also still in the mix as he looks to add yet another title to one of the most stacked WSOP records around.
