Daniel Negreanu shared last week that he would sell 25% of his World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2023 action. The sale went live on 1st May 2023 and was sold at lightning speed. Within just a few minutes, the action was sold out.
Last week, Negreanu shared that he would be playing a total of 90 events at WSOP 2023 and spend $1.8 million in buy-ins at WSOP. The 25% pieces of his action went live on the platform on PokerStake on 1st May 2023 at 6 PM EST (3 PM PST). The minimum one could purchase was $18, with the maximum being $900. Additionally, he would charge no markup on his action pieces.
The six-time WSOP bracelet winner was actively sharing updates on his Twitter account. After the sale went live DNegs shared a Twitter post which said that 17% out of the 25% was sold out in just three minutes.
Better hurry it’s selling out FAST!

A fan named ‘Todd Hudson’ shared the same update saying, “3 mins later 80% has already sold.” (sic)

An hour later, the six-time WSOP bracelet winner shared another tweet that announced that a total of 965 people had bought pieces of his action. He also shared that the sale went live at 3 PM PST, and the last piece was sold at 3:41 PM PST.
In the post, he also shared that they expected the pieces to be sold in approximately 11 hours. However, it was sold under the predicted duration.
A total of 965 people bought pieces of my WSOP Package with a $900 cap
Went live at 3:00pm PST, last piece was bought at 3:41 PST
The over/under on how long it would take to sell out was 11 hours.
I took the under 😂@JoshuaArieh @pokerstakecom
