Negreanu Makes Nut Low

Level 15

Omaha Hi-Lo

Jose Paz Gutierrez opened under the gun. Daniel Negreanu then raised from the cutoff, and Paz Gutierrez slid in the call.

On the 698 flop, the Bolivian threw out a check-raise following a bet from Negreanu. Negreanu wasn't going anywhere, and stuck around for a call.

The 9 hit on the turn, and Paz Gutierrez didn't slow down, as he bet out, and was called again. He then checked the 2 river, and Negreanu bet out. Paz Gutierrez looked frustrated, but ended up calling. "You got aces?" he asked. "With a three," replied Negreanu, showing AA64 for the nut low and aces up. His opponent's cards hit the muck.

Poker G.O.A.T. Phil Ivey's deepest run of the 2026 World Series of Poker came to an end in the most expensive tournament on the schedule.

While the result falls short of bracelet number 12, it still represents Ivey's best finish of the summer and his first final-table appearance of the series.

The tournament attracted 56 entries and generated a $13,720,000 prize pool, with a first-place prize of $4,334,411 awaiting the eventual champion.
