Negreanu Wins Again
Winning high rollers is never easy even for the best in the world. But this tournament’s final table was perhaps even more difficult than normal given the caliber of players. Negreanu and Foxen weren’t the only crushers battling for the six-figure payday in the sixth event of the PLO series. They were joined at the final table by Nacho Barbero, Nick Schulman, Jeremy Ausmus, and Matthew Wantman.

The six players at the final table have a combined 20 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, Negreanu leading the way with seven. Day 2, livestreamed on the PokerGO YouTube channel, began Sunday afternoon with Foxen holding a slim lead over “DNegs.” Wantman was stuck with a stack so tiny you could barely see it. But he would battle back at the final table and work his way into a third place finish for $119,600.
Barbero, however, was first out the door at the final table and had to settle for sixth place and $52,000. Schulman, a five-time bracelet winner and PokerGO commentator, busted in fifth place for $67,600, while Ausmus took fourth place and $93,600.
Heads-up play would begin with Negreanu having taken full command of the tournament. He held a 3-1 chip advantage over his opponent. But Foxen is one of the best in the world for a reason, and he wasn’t about to go down without a fight.
Foxen would get some chips back quickly, cutting the deficit to a 2-1 disadvantage, right up until he ran into a bit of a cooler.
The mini comeback lasted only a short bit when Foxen ran tens full of aces into queens full of aces. There was no getting away from the hand given the blinds were so big at the time. Foxen finished runner-up for $171,600, and now has over $33.5 million in lifetime live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob.
Negreanu, however, won his fourth high roller tournament of the year, and first since June when he ended an 11-year bracelet drought by taking down the WSOP $50,000 Poker Players Championship for $1,178,703. The Poker Hall of Famer has bounced back in 2024 from a $2 million net loss in poker tournaments last year. He’s earned three cashes, two final table appearances, and one title through six events in the currrent PLO series.
