Arie Kliper raised to 210,000 from the cutoff with A?9?, Samuel Wagner three-bet to 525,000 on the button holding 6?6? and Michael Vela cold-called from the big blind, with 8?8?. Kliper got out of the way.

The 5?7?7? flop saw Vela check-call a bet of 450,000 from Wagner.

The 5? turn saw Vela play in flow. Wagner bet again, this time for 900,000 and Vela folded the best hand.

Kevin Nathan raised to 225,000 from the cutoff and Bruno Lopes defended in the big blind.

The A?4?6? flop saw Lopes check-call a bet of 325,000 from Nathan.

The 3? turn saw Lopes play in flow. Nathan bet enough to put Lopes all in for his effective stack of 1,920,000. Lopes went deep into the tank before finally making the call.

Bruno Lopes: A?8? All in
Kevin Nathan: A?Q?

Lopes needed to find an eight on the river, but the K? didn't oblige and he was sent to the rail in sixth place.

Admit it, there were at least times in recent years you thought Daniel Negreanu might never win another World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. Perhaps, even he had moments of doubt.

There's no longer reason for anyone to doubt the Poker Hall of Famer, not after he took down one of the most prestigious tournaments in all of poker on Thursday, the $50,000 Poker Players Championship for over $1.1 million.

Negreanu's last bracelet came in 2013, and his most recent WSOP title in Las Vegas prior to the 2024 PPC occurred all the way back in 2008. It's been a long journey to bracelet No. 7, one we've chronicled in this article.
