Daniel Negreanu won the $300 000 Super High Roller Bowl
Recently, American poker player Daniel Negreanu has had a long streak of losses. At just one World Series of Poker this year (WSOP 2022), he managed to go into the red by $1 100 000.
The hardest was the episode in the $250 000 tournament, in which the poker player made two entries and still ended up on the bubble, never reaching the prize zone. In a fit of emotion, Daniel even broke his phone.
Nevertheless, the poker player continued to stubbornly work on his game and did not get bored, despite a series of offensive losses. The poker player's patience paid off and he managed to break his downswing by winning the $300 000 Super High Roller Bowl. With a field of 24 high rollers, the event collected a prize fund of $7 200 000.

In the final hand, Negreanu pushed with Q♣ 7♣ and was called by Petrangelo with K♠ 5♥. The board was dealt 7♠ 3♣ 2♣ 2♠ 4♠ and Daniel Negreanu received his championship ring.
