Daniel Negreanu has been eliminated from the 2026 WSOP Main Event on Day 2D. His exit came shortly after late registration closed, confirming this year's field as the fourth-biggest in Main Event history.
Negreanu had a rough Day 1, when he complained of being card dead, and said he was happy to finish with 54,100 – just below the starting stack.
He didn't have a good first level on Day 2D either, sliding down to just 22,000 after the first level.
Then he started getting active. He managed to find two double ups against Jameel Harris – the first when he cracked queens with sixes. You can watch that one play out below.
He also doubled against Harris with AK against jacks, flopping an ace to to climb back to around 70,000 chips.
