2024 is shaping up to be quite the year for Daniel Negreanu, and it’s clear he’s playing his cards right—literally. After deciding to cut down on his tournament load to keep his game sharp and his mind clearer, it looks like that decision is paying off, big time.
With two big wins and eight times making it to the final table already, he’s not just playing; he’s slaying.
Let’s talk about his recent win at the 2024 PGT PLO Series, which is his second win of the year after taking first spot in the PGT Last Chance Event for $218K. This wasn’t just any win; it was a masterclass in pot-limit Omaha, where he outlasted 118 other players. The prize? A cool $147,500, thank you very much. That’s not just pocket change; it’s a nice chunk of change that bumps his career earnings over the $51.5 million mark. This win also cements his place as the seventh-highest earner in poker history. Not too shabby for someone who’s just playing fewer tournaments.
With six World Series of Poker bracelets and two World Poker Tour titles to his name, he’s no stranger to the winner’s circle. But after a tough 2023 where he found himself $2.2 million lighter, he decided to switch things up. More quality, less quantity. Seems like a simple formula, but it’s working wonders so far.
As 2024 rolls on, it’s anyone’s guess how many more times we’ll see Daniel at those final tables. But one thing’s for sure: his strategy of picking and choosing his battles is turning heads and stacking chips. Keep an eye on this guy; he’s on to something this year and in good shape for the upcoming World Series of Poker.
