Daniel Negreanu’s bracelet chase continued past the live WSOP schedule, as the Poker Hall of Famer made a deep run at the WSOP Online $25,000 High Roller Championship on GGPoker. A win would have made him just the tenth player ever to capture nine WSOP bracelets, but the title ultimately went to Casimir Seire, who banked $906,647 for the victory.
Negreanu, streaming the tournament live on his YouTube channel, started the final table third in chips with roughly 60 big blinds. He surged into the lead after the first break, cracking Parahat Nurmuhammedov’s flopped pair with pocket queens to take a commanding stack with seven players left.
Fortunes shifted with six players remaining. Holding A♥K♠, Negreanu got his chips in against Ole Schemion’s A♠Q♠ and Roman Emelyanov’s 6♥6♦, but a board full of nines and queens eliminated Emelyanov in seventh instead of favoring Negreanu, leaving him short-stacked.
Schemion later busted in sixth, and Negreanu clawed back by winning a crucial race, though he remained fourth in chips as Seire built a dominant stack and pressured the rest of the table. Negreanu continued running well in all-in situations, including eliminating Pedro Neves in fifth place.
The tournament turned on a single hand when Seire shoved 9♣8♦ into Negreanu’s pocket tens for 27 big blinds. A river-completed board gave Seire two pair, busting Negreanu in fourth place for $415,699. Erwann Pecheux fell in third shortly after.
Negreanu, who has now won two bracelets in the last three years following an 11-year drought, missed out on what would have been his first online title. Seire went on to defeat Fabiano Kovalski heads-up with quads to seal the championship.
