Daniel Negreanu earned his first poker tournament win of 2025 on Tuesday when he steamrolled the seven-player final table, until heads-up play, in the $15,200 buy-in Dealer’s Choice PokerGO Tour event for $292,500.

The GGPoker ambassador cruised through a tough final table that included 2025 Poker Hall of Fame candidate Nick Schulman, Maxx Coleman, Yuri Dzivielevski, and three other mixed game crushers.

Poker Legend Cruises to Victory

PokerGO is currently hosting a seven-event Mixed Game Series, and the recently completed tournament was Event #6. The finale — $25,300 10-Game Championship — kicked off on Tuesday at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas and will conclude with the final table on Wednesday.

But there were a number of poker fans tuned in to PokerGO for Day 2 of the sixth event as Negreanu had reached the final table. He began play just fourth in chips, only about half the chip stack of Coleman, who was in the lead. That all changed quickly on Tuesday. It got to a point where Negreanu was running so hot that he was apologizing to his opponents after winning some pots.

Negreanu first clipped Ryan Miller in seventh place ($39,000) in 2-7 single draw. He then began taking down pot after pot and had about 80-percent of the chips in play six-handed. Coleman took out Philip Sternheimer in sixth place ($53,625), but everyone left not named Daniel Negreanu still had a short stack.

Coleman would then bust Dylan Smith in fifth place ($73,125) before Negreanu eliminated Coleman in fourth place ($97,500). Dzivielevski went home in third place ($131,625), another Negreanu victim.

That began heads-up play against Schulman, who trailed 30-1 in chips. The final table was so lopsided that even PokerGO commentators Remko Rinkema and Donnie Peters continually joked about Negreanu’s heater. Schulman would earn two quick double-ups, however, and was inching back to within striking distance.

The game would then shift to seven card stud, and the first hand was an all in pot on fifth street with Negreanu behind and drawing to a straight with a pair of 10’s against a pair of kings. There would be no improvement to either player’s hand on sixth street or seventh street, and just like that Schulman was only down 3-1 in chips.

Moments later, both players began the hand with three suited cards. Schulman hit his fourth diamond on fourth street, while his opponent picked up a pair. Negreanu found no improvement on fifth or sixth street, but Schulman would pick up consecutive cards for two pair. Neither player hit anything on seventh street, which meant the pot went Schulman’s way.

The stacks were almost even at that point, and poker fans were witnessing one of the most memorable comebacks in livestreamed tournament history. Negreanu would then pick up a few pots in a row to get some breathing room back.

Schulman then raised with A*♦Q♠7♠3♦* in PLO before a three-bet came from Negreanu, who essentially put his opponent all in, with A*♠A♥K♣Q♣. All the chips were in the middle following a small four-bet as the board came out 6♠6♥5♥2♣J♠*, and Negreanu finally closed it out after Schulman, who won $190,125, nearly pulled off one of the most impressive comebacks seen in years.

Negreanu, who won his seventh World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet last summer, has over $54 million in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob. The Poker Hall of Famer won his first tournament since October.
