Daniel Negreanu 2019

Daniel Negreanu became the winner of the WSOP Player of the Year 2019 race. This year, the competition was very interesting. Several well-known poker professionals claimed the Player of the Year title.

During the WSOP 2019 in Las Vegas, American player Daniel Zack was leading the race, but then, Robert Campbell from Australia overtook him. The decisive stage in fighting for the POY title was the WSOPE 2019 series in Rozvadov.

At the beginning of the series, Campbell was in the lead. Then, the four-time WSOP winner Shaun Deeb got ahead of the Australian. However, the American wasn’t leading for long, and Robert Campbell managed to restore his superiority.

In total, the Canadian collected 24 cashes in the bracelet events in 2019, including five times playing at the final table and two times staying a step away from winning the bracelet.
