The win earned the Poker Hall of Famer his eighth WSOP bracelet and another major title to add to one of poker’s most decorated careers.

Final Table Results

Five World-Class Players Return

The final day began with five of the world’s best Pot-Limit Omaha players chasing the bracelet and the $2,257,718 top prize.

Frank returned as chip leader with 13,660,000, narrowly ahead of Negreanu. Miki and Sternheimer were virtually level in the middle of the pack, while Martirosyan resumed with the shortest stack after battling back from the brink late on Day 2.

Sternheimer Falls First

The opening elimination came when Sternheimer got his remaining chips in with ace-king-double-suited against Negreanu’s pocket aces.

Negreanu improved to a full house on the turn, leaving Sternheimer drawing dead and ending the German’s impressive run in fifth place for $516,160.

Shortly afterwards, Miki’s tournament also came to an end. The Japanese star committed his short stack with top pair and a wrap straight draw against Martirosyan, who held pocket kings and a higher straight draw. Neither player improved, allowing Martirosyan to hold and send Miki to the rail in fourth place for $705,448.

Frank’s Run Ends in Third

Three-handed play proved to be one of the defining stages of the tournament.

Starting the day with the chip lead, Frank lost several key pots before eventually committing his remaining chips against Negreanu.

Holding a wrap straight draw, Frank was up against Negreanu’s top set. The turn added even more outs for the German, but the river bricked to end his tournament in third place for $1,002,107.

Frank’s elimination guaranteed a blockbuster heads-up duel between Negreanu and Martirosyan, with millions of dollars and one of the most prestigious Pot-Limit Omaha titles of the year still to play for.

Negreanu Seals Bracelet Number Eight

Heads-up play began with Negreanu holding a commanding advantage, but Martirosyan refused to go quietly. The four-time bracelet winner doubled early after turning two pair against Negreanu’s top pair, briefly keeping his hopes alive.

Negreanu quickly regained control. A perfectly timed hero call with trip threes picked off one of Martirosyan’s river bluffs, before several more pots extended the Canadian’s lead and left his opponent on the ropes.

The final hand came with Martirosyan down to around 4,500,000. Facing a pot-sized raise to 1,500,000 from Negreanu, he moved all in and was immediately called.

Martirosyan tabled ace-nine-eight-eight, while Negreanu showed king-nine-three-deuce.

“I have diamonds and spades, and he needs to go home,” Negreanu joked to his roaring rail before the board was dealt.

The ace-diamond, five-spade, four-diamond flop gave Negreanu a wheel, which he only realised after a brief moment. The queen of clubs on the turn locked up the title, making the meaningless river the signal for a huge celebration as cheers echoed throughout the Grand Ballroom.

Martirosyan’s bid for a fifth WSOP bracelet ended with a runner-up finish worth $1,477,434, while Negreanu celebrated his eighth bracelet and the $2,257,718 first-place prize.
