Daniel Negreanu is not running well at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and things got even worse for the poker legend on Tuesday in Event #47: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em.
The six-figure buy-in tournament attracted 95 entrants on Day 1, with registration still open entering Wednesday's Day 2 session. At the end of play, Henrik Hecklen bagged the largest stack, while Nick Petrangelo, Jared Bleznick, and Jeremy Ausmus were among the 44 who made it through the session with chips.

Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the eighth episode, Connor speaks with legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer in an exclusive in-depth interview after Buffer's deep run in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 High Roller. Buffer, a longtime poker player, finished in eighth place for a career-best $212,423 after kicking off Day 3 with his trademark "it's time" introduction.
Buffer talked about finding his long-lost half-brother, Michael Buffer, and becoming his manager, the early days of the UFC, the similarities between poker and martial arts, his relationships with Joe Rogan and Dana White and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 WSOP inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Bruce Buffer by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
In the 838th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Kyna England and Connor Richards at Level 9 in Las Vegas and talk about latest from the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP)!
That includes Phil Ivey winning his 11th bracelet and first in a decade, UFC announcer Bruce Buffer making a deep run in the $50,000 High Roller, and Scott Seiver claiming a second bracelet this summer, which not only gave him a nice lead in the race for Player of the Year (POY), but also extended the streak of a multiple WSOP bracelet winner to 25 years!
Also, hear about Sergio Aido's victory in the aforementioned $50K High Roller, Antonio Galiana executing a five-bet river bluff some are already saying is the hand of the year and an update on the $25K Fantasy poker league. Finally, the second-ever PokerNews Cup on Global Poker is underway (it runs June 17-July 7) and the WSOP PokerNews Deepstacks Championship is right around the corner (June 25-28).
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Last year’s event was massively attended, attracting a field of 8,140 entries that generated a prize pool of $7,280,200.
At the PokerGO live-streamed final table, 54-year-old Canadian Lonnie Hallett ended up beating seven-time WSOP winner and Poker Hall of Famer Billy Baxter for $765,731 and his first WSOP bracelet.
“I just can’t believe it, such a huge field it's almost impossible to do, and somehow it happened. I’m grateful, can’t believe it, I’m so happy," Hallett told PokerNews. “You can make money, but you can’t buy a bracelet.”
