Daniel Neilson Wins 10K Single Day Challenge for $127,255

Level 21: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000

Daniel Neilson Wins 10K Single Day Challenge for $127,255

One of the most prestigious events of the WPT season, the 10K Single Day Challenge, has officially wrapped up with Australia’s Daniel Neilson emerging as the champion once again. Neilson outlasted a competitive 40-entry field to take home the $127,255 top prize after an intense twelve-hour grind.

This victory not only adds a second WPT title to his illustrious resume but also pushes his career earnings past the $5 million mark. Remarkably, Neilson captured the same title last year during the inaugural WPT Championship, proving that history has a way of repeating itself.

When asked if there was a specific moment when he felt he was destined to win, Neilson replied, "Yes, when I was registered," and indeed, he was right to feel confident.

The final table began with Neilson stacking just behind chip leader Amin Riyazati and straight away, lost his first showdown to drop down the ranks. It was at six-handed when Neilson turned the momentum back around after his royal flush got paid in full by Riyazati. From then on, Neilson stood unstoppable, successfully picking off one short stack after the other.

By the time heads up play was reached, Neilson had an astonishing lead against Yongjia Lin and closed it out in just one deal. Lin was left to settle for a runner up finish while Neilson continues to be the undefeated champion for two years in a row.
