Poker Daniel Negreanu 2019
What is the state of poker in 2019? It’s a question Daniel Negreanu has addressed, first in a controversial tweet and then a blog post on his Full Contact Poker. In the now-deleted Tweet, Negreanu said: “Worst kind of poker player has the following traits: Winner Slow Quiet (Also Miserable) Nit (Cheap/Selfish) Hater (Complainer/Negative). The Player of the Year award from WSOP is one of the most sought-after accolades within the poker world, and the race to become the 2019 awardee was wrought with intrigue. Negreanu had actually been marked as a favorite to win the WSOP PoY award prior to the final qualifying tournaments.

Apparently, Negreanu was awarded an extra 213.1 points for cashing in $1,000 WSOP.com ONLINE No-Limit Hold’em Championship (Event #68) – an event in which he did not actually cash.

As a result, Negreanu dropped to third, giving Rob Campbell the title, with Shaun Deeb placing 2nd.
At the time of writing, the WSOP Twitter account has yet to address the issue, but Pocketfives received a statement from WSOP officials:
“We have confirmed an error was made in our results for WSOP Event #68, affecting places 32-46. As a result, Daniel Negreanu was given 213.1 points erroneously in this event.
