Daniel Negreanu and Seth Davies locked horns in a hand that became one of the most viewed hands on PokerGo.

During the World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2024, seven-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu put his tournament life at risk against Seth Davies.

The GGPoker ambassador was playing with pocket jacks versus Davies’ Ladies. Negreanu raised to 160K preflop and saw Davies 3-betting to 520K. Here, ‘KidPoker’ went all-in with Jacks and found Davies making the call.

Negreanu mentioned how he could feel that a Jack is coming, and it was true. The board ran out with 6T2JK giving Negreanu an added dose of life to progress further on the game. Davies lost a pot with $4.1 million chips.

Talking about the Canadian pro, the pro was last seen grinding in WSOP Paradise 2024. Negreanu cashed in three tournaments with two deep runs under top 10 spots.

Negreanu finished fourth in the $3,500 + 300 +1500 No Limit Hold'em - The Closer Turbo Bounty event for a payday of $65,200. The pro also launched his podcast alongside wife Amanda Leatherman called Mania Podcast.

Coming to Negreanu’s hunt for bracelet number 8, the search is still on. With WSOP releasing the dates for the upcoming WSOP 2025, Negreanu is gearing up for the annual live poker event. He shared a post on WSOP’s announcement of the 2025 edition of the series.

With over $54 million in live tournament winnings and rank 7 on the All Time Money List, Negreanu is looking to add live earnings along with bumping up his bracelet tally in WSOP 2025.
