Livingston Locks In Another Final Table Finish
Alex Livingston has been one of the most consistent Canadian performers this series, and he added another deep run to his tally with a 7th-place finish in Event #77: $10,000 Stud Hi-Lo Championship.
The mixed-game specialist picked up $54,105 for the effort and once again proved he can hang with the best in any format. That’s two final tables this summer for Livingston, who continues to be a staple on the late-day stage year after year.
Negreanu Scores in the Six-Figure Club Again
Daniel Negreanu’s hunt for a 2025 bracelet continues, but he added another strong result in one of the summer’s biggest buy-in events. Kid Poker finished 15th in Event #79: $100,000 PLO High Roller, banking $209,457.
It wasn’t the storybook ending he was chasing, but it’s still a massive score in one of the most stacked tournaments of the year. With a packed schedule still to come—including the Main Event—Negreanu’s summer is far from over.
Li and Pineault Stack Up in $600 PokerNews Championship
Two Canadian names are sitting near the top of the chip counts in Event #78: $600 PokerNews Championship, one of the biggest-value tournaments left on the schedule. Jason Li ended the day with a towering 9,170,000 chips, good for 2nd overall, while Karl T Pineault bagged 4,815,000 for 7th.
It’s been a strong series for both players already, and this could be a real chance for one (or both) of them to make a serious push for their first WSOP gold. Expect fireworks when Day 3 resumes.
Kalanj Leads Canadian Starters in Main Event Day 1a
The WSOP Main Event is officially underway, and a handful of Canadians took their first shot in Day 1a. Leading the red-and-white pack is Anthony Kalanj, who bagged 220,800 chips—good for 19th overall as the opening flight wrapped up.
The Main Event grind is just beginning, but Kalanj has put himself in a great spot heading into Day 2. With thousands of players still to enter, the Canadian rail will no doubt grow as the week goes on.
