Daniel Negreanu's high-stakes poker gamble pays off in Triton Super Bowl Main Event
Daniel Negreanu made a strong comeback in the Triton Super Bowl Main Event after a tough exit from the $100K Main Event. The high-stakes poker player fired six separate entries before securing a seven-figure stack for Day 2. His persistence paid off as the tournament drew a massive field of 869 players, far exceeding initial expectations.
Negreanu entered the Super Bowl Main Event determined to recover from his earlier elimination. His approach was aggressive: he aimed to 'push every edge' and build a large stack quickly. Despite his experience, he admitted feeling off his game on Day 1A, blaming fatigue for his struggles.
The tournament itself saw an unexpected surge in participation. With 869 entries in Day 1A alone, the prize pool neared the $60 million guarantee—well beyond early projections. Negreanu's sixth and final attempt proved successful, leaving him with 1,105,000 chips by the end of the session.
His strategy of repeatedly re-entering paid off when he finally found a strong position. The last bullet gave him the momentum he needed to advance with confidence into Day 2.
The Super Bowl Main Event now moves forward with a record-breaking field and a prize pool close to its guarantee. Negreanu's late recovery ensures he remains in contention, carrying a substantial stack into the next stage. The tournament's success in attracting players sets the stage for intense competition in the days ahead.
