PokerGo Tour Championship 2022: Daniel Negreanu’s Exit Disappoints

The year isn’t ending well for Daniel Negreanu, is it? The six-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner! The Canadian pro is out of the PokerGo Tour (PGT) Championship 2022. Poker universe awaited fireworks of massive power to go off when stalwarts like Negreanu, Jason Koon, Phil Ivey, and Stephen Chidwick lock horns for a winner takes all prize of $5,00,000. But sadly for DNegs, it was an endgame. Koon is leading the pack of poker wolves who will battle it out for glory and top prize.

Daniel Negreanu bust out hand

When blinds were at 2,000/4,000, big blind ante 4,000, preflop action saw, DNegs from the big blind position raised all Koon raise to 8,500, Jeremy Ausmus 3-bet to 27,000, Sean Winter 4-bets to 90,000 and even before he could throw in his chips, DNegs hinted at the dealer for a shove. 

The Canadian pro raised all-in for 233K. Looking at this, Koon folded and the action was left to unfold between Winter, Negreanu and Ausmus. The five-time WSOP bracelet winner heavy-heartedly folded AK and backed out of the hand. Now it was Winter’s K ♠ K ♣ vs Negreanu’s Q ❤ Q ♣. The community cards fell: 4 ❤ 6 ♠ K ♦ 3 ♦ 7 ♦ . And with that Negreanu’s rival who was leading preflop eventually won the hand with three of a kind with his Kings.

Negreanu who upgraded to the latest edition of Tesla Model S, busted at the 17th spot at the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship 2022. Ardent fans of this Canadian pro obviously wanted him to ship the coveted title and that hefty prize money of $4,136,000.

Now, with the PGT Championship loss, fans and watchers in the global poker industry are wondering what’s really left for DNegs to ship which could make the year end on a sweeter note.
