Negreanu's second entry was a resounding success! Calvin Anderson made a strong run on Day 22 of the WSOP, advancing to the 25K PLO High Roller event and reaching the Razz final table.

Negreanu successfully rebounded and became the focus of attention on the 22nd.

The 22nd day of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) continues in Horseshoe, Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas.

Although three new gold bracelet winners were announced that day, the most talked-about story came from Daniel Negreanu.

In Event #47:$25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High RollerIn the first round, Negreanu was eliminated right at the start, even being knocked out on his very first hand. However, the seven-time WSOP bracelet winner did not give up. He chose to re-enter the game and successfully made a comeback, advancing to Day 2 as a top-ten finisher in the chipset.

Buy back after being eliminated in the first round

For Negreanu, this year's WSOP has been full of ups and downs.

After missing out on the $250,000 Super High Roller title, he quickly moved on to the PLO High Roller arena.

However, the opening of the first shot was a nightmare.

According to tournament reports, Negreanu was eliminated in his very first hand after the first buy-in.

Fortunately, this event uses a multiple-entry registration system.

After re-entering the field, Negreanu quickly regained his rhythm and steadily accumulated chips among many world-class PLO players, eventually finishing the game with 789,000 chips, ranking seventh on Day 1B.

The 25K PLO High Roller Tournament continues to expand in scale.

Can Negreanu make another run at the gold bracelet?
