Phil Ivey Busts Daniel Negreanu Deep in WSOP $10k Razz

 

The 11-year bracelet drought for Daniel Negreanu goes on thanks to his old pal, Phil Ivey, who ended his own decade-long drought earlier this month.

Both Poker Hall of Famers reached Day 3 of Event #50: $10,000 Razz Championship at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) on Friday.

Ivey Sends Negreanu Home

During parts of Thursday's Day 2 session, Negreanu was at or near the top of the leaderboard. Late in the day, he held the chip lead before losing two-thirds of his stack before bagging chips. With 12 of the 118 players remaining, the GGPoker ambassador was stuck in 11th place, only ahead of Jared Bleznick

When Day 3 began, Negreanu had just four big bets and dreams of winning his first bracelet since 2013. That didn't happen for the six-time WSOP champion, thanks to Ivey, the newly minted 11-time bracelet winner. PokerNews captured a video of Ivey sending Negreanu to the exits.

 As reported by PokerNews live reporter Chance Castro, Negreanu had A

x6x/4xKxQxJx/8x, while Ivey had 6x5x/7xJx2xQx/Kx.

Negreanu completed before Ivey raised. "DNegs" three-bet and his opponent called. On fourth street, Ivey bet and Negreanu raised all-in, putting himself at risk. Ivey called and the remaining streets were dealt.

Before seventh street was revealed, Daniel said, "Let me know if I can even win." Ivey slowly revealed his king, saying that it was possible. Daniel disclosed an 8x for jack-eight, but it was just beaten by Ivey's jack-seven, sending the poker legend home in 11th place for $21,737.

Despite busting Negreanu, at the time of publishing with 10 remaining players on the first break of the day, Ivey was still stuck with only a few big bets. Factoring in the deep run, according to Negreanu's most recent daily WSOP vlog, he's now down just over $380,000 for the series, which includes eight cashes but zero final table appearances.
