World Series of Daniel's? Zack, Weinman (But Not Negreanu) Lead POY Race
The 2022 World Series of Poker, through three weeks, has been dominated by two Daniel's, one of whom, surprisingly, isn't a Negreanu.
Daniel Zack, the only double bracelet winner this summer, and Daniel Weinman are the top two in the current WSOP Player of the Year standings. Daniel Negreanu, a perennial POY candidate and two-time winner (2004 and 2013), is still trying to catch a break and hit a heater before it's too late to get back into contention.
As "DNegs" proved last fall, he's never out of it. Following a slow start at the 2021 WSOP, the GGPoker ambassador closed out the series on a flurry with consecutive third place finishes, which put him in third place behind the champion Josh Arieh and Phil Hellmuth.
Negreanu didn't win Player of the Year last fall, but his late surge showed that even with just three small cashes thus far in 2022, you can't assume he's drawing dead.
