Daniel Negreanu is in contention for his eighth gold bracelet and the second of the year. On Friday night at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise, the GGPoker Ambassador took a break from live play and instead took time to play chess, stock up on groceries – he was still steaming from paying room service $25 for four small tomatoes the day before – and to play some online poker from the comfort of his hotel bed.
He entered a flight of GGPoker’s $2,700 buy-in Event #11: $5,000,000 GTD Mystery Millions Online, and after three hours of play, he finished first out of 28 entrants, thus punching his ticket to Day 2 at 13:00 on Sunday, December 15! Players should be in the money at that point as each starting flight plays down to when only 10% of the field remains, and at the “ITM Stage,” the mystery bounties kick in including two $500,000 top bounties!
Negreanu advanced with 726,897 (60.6 BB), while the only other player to make it through was Mexico’s Ignacio Moron with 673,103. As of this writing, only 97 players of 1,257 entries have made it to Day 2, though there are still plenty of flights left to go.
