Canadian poker professional Daniel Negreanu achieved a historic milestone at the 2013 WSOP Europe, held at Casino Barriere in France, by winning his sixth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and securing his second WSOP Player of the Year (POY) title.
Negreanu, needing only a final table appearance in the No-Limit Hold’em High Roller to clinch POY, entered the event just behind Matthew Ashton in the standings. Facing tough competition from players including Erik Seidel, David Peters, and Jason Koon, Negreanu advanced from a short stack to the final table, ultimately outlasting the field and defeating Nicolau Villa-Lobos of Brazil in heads-up play. His performance not only locked up the 2013 POY race but also added a sixth career bracelet to his achievements.
This accomplishment made Negreanu the first player in history to win the WSOP Player of the Year title twice, further cementing his reputation as one of the game’s top competitors. With over $25 million in WSOP tournament earnings to date and a significant following on social media, Negreanu continues to be a prominent figure on the international poker scene.
