The Final Day's Highlights

Radanov's AClub SuitJDiamond SuitJClub Suit6Club Suit faced Daniel Negreanu's set of jacks. The former got straight and flush outs. Unfortunately, the 2Diamond Suit on the river didn't help him, and ended his run in fifth place.

Negreanu won that hand and followed Radanov in fourth place after losing a huge hand to Dylan Weisman. Negreanu's JHeart Suit10Heart Suit8Club Suit7Club Suit faced Weisman's AHeart SuitKHeart Suit8Diamond Suit7Diamond Suit. The latter flopped eights and aces before increasing his chips.

Even so, Negreanu struggled to extend his run. But his wrap draw and top pair failed to hold Keijzer's double gutshot and middle pair. Negreanu left the table with $77,000 and increased his poker tournament earnings to almost $49.9 million.

He is the third highest-earning player in the history of poker after Bryn Kenney and Justin Bonomo. Also, this was his 12th time to cash in this year's PGT, earning $656,810 so far.
