Negreanu wins Event #76 in Las Vegas
Daniel Negreanu won the 2026 World Series of Poker $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller on July 2 at Paris Las Vegas. The victory brought the Canadian professional his eighth WSOP bracelet and a first prize of $2,257,718. Artur Martirosian finished second for $1,477,434, while Chris Frank placed third for $1,002,107. The official result identifies 83 entries; that figure should not automatically be described as 83 unique players because the event format permitted registration conditions that can include repeat entries.
A comeback during the final day
Negreanu began the last day with the second-largest of four remaining stacks. PokerNews reported that he first lost roughly half his chips, recovered, and then moved into the lead. Martirosian started heads-up with close to a two-to-one advantage before Negreanu regained control. The available sources do not provide a complete, independently checkable betting history for every decisive pot, so this report does not invent unknown hole cards, bet sizes or equity figures.
His first bracelet in a pure PLO event
The result is notable because it is Negreanu’s first bracelet in a tournament played entirely as Pot-Limit Omaha. His previous WSOP win came in the 2024 Poker Players Championship, a mixed-game event. PLO produces many closely matched draws because four private cards create six possible two-card combinations, yet a player must use exactly two hole cards and exactly three board cards. A visually powerful draw can therefore carry a different value from the one a Hold’em-trained observer expects.
What the result proves—and what it does not
The confirmed facts are the tournament result, payout and bracelet count. The concentration of experienced high-stakes players makes the victory significant, but a single result cannot prove that every decision by the winner was optimal. Strategic claims require full hand histories and clearly stated assumptions. Poker Simulator can help readers check confirmed Hold’em situations, but its current Texas Hold’em model must not be presented as a precise PLO calculator because Omaha requires different card-selection rules.
A second bracelet in three years
Negreanu’s eighth bracelet is his second since 2024 after a long gap between WSOP victories. It adds a major PLO result to a career spanning more than three decades. WSOP and PokerNews both reported the result and the principal payouts; the official tournament result page provides an additional record. Any later update should preserve the distinction between organizer statements, independent reporting and strategic interpretation.

FAQ
Can I examine a reported hand myself?
Yes. Open a related Poker Simulator tool and enter only the cards, board and number of opponents confirmed by the report.
Does a probability calculation predict the next deal?
No. It describes the selected scenario; it does not guarantee the result of a random future hand.
