Daniel Negreanu has picked up another big win and a $292,500 payday
Daniel Negreanu has added another achievement to his legendary poker career by winning his 10th PokerGO Tour (PGT) title. The victory came in the $12,500 Dealer’s Choice event, where he took home $292,500 after defeating Nick Schulman in heads-up play. This win marks Negreanu’s first tournament victory of 2025 and a strong return to form after previously expressing frustration over a dry spell in major events.
The tournament featured a tough lineup, including Maxx Coleman, Yuri Dzivielevski, and several experienced mixed-game specialists. Negreanu started the final table in the middle of the chip counts but quickly built momentum, eliminating multiple opponents on his way to the title.
By the time play was down to six, he had amassed nearly 80% of the chips in play, putting him in complete control of the action. Schulman managed to stage a brief comeback, closing the gap significantly during heads-up play, but Negreanu ultimately sealed the win in a Pot-Limit Omaha hand where his pocket aces held up against Schulman’s drawing hand.
This latest win reinforces Negreanu’s reputation as one of the best mixed-game players in the world. It also adds another highlight to his already impressive PGT resume, which includes multiple victories in high-stakes events. The PGT Mixed Games series, where this event took place, has featured strong performances from players like Chino Rheem and Ryan Miller, with one final tournament—the $25,300 10-Game Championship—left to determine the series leaderboard.
Negreanu, a seven-time WSOP bracelet winner, now has over $54 million in career tournament earnings. His latest triumph further cements his status as one of the most accomplished and enduring players in the game, proving that even after decades at the top, he remains a dominant force in high-stakes poker.
