Daniel Negreanu ended an 11-year World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet drought last summer, and he could soon make it back-to-back years with a bracelet. But not if he can't outlast online poker legend, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom.
Both poker legends have reached the final table in Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. Negreanu's playing to win the $470,437 first-place prize in the 217-player tournament. But he's also trying to secure his eighth bracelet, and to get off to a strong start at the 2025 WSOP, something he didn't do last year. Blom's shooting for his first WSOP title.
