June 20, 2024 – At the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Daniel Negreanu is not having a good tournament run. On Tuesday, in Event #47: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, things took a turn for the worse for the poker legend.

On Day 1, 95 players registered for the six-figure buy-in tournament; registration is still available for Wednesday's Day 2 session. Henrik Hecklen had the biggest stack at the end of the play, and among the 44 players who finished the session with chips were Nick Petrangelo, Jared Bleznick, and Jeremy Ausmus.

In the $100k High Roller at the WSOP, Daniel Negreanu was unlucky enough to bust twice when confronted with pocket aces. He was sent to the rebuy line when, early on Day 1, his K♣J♦ ran against A♠A♣ held by John Kincaid. Later, Negreanu used his second bullet to secure his tournament exit after Sergio Aido's A♦A♥ forced him to give up despite a solid A♠9♠ on a favorable board.

Daniel Negreanu's WSOP summer hasn't gone as planned, as reflected in his vlogs. Despite five cashes, including one online, none have been substantial, and he's yet to reach a final table. With losses nearing $1.9 million over consecutive WSOPs, 2024 hasn't been favorable, down over $380,000 so far.

Negreanu, initially strong this year with high-roller wins and top finishes, aims to reverse his fortunes. In the WSOP $25k Fantasy Draft, he fetched $132 for Team DPMC but has contributed just 52 points, ranking 49th in the league standings.
