In line with his 2024 tournament plans, Daniel Negreanu revealed his summer schedule, and he's leaving himself with more days off than in recent years.
Following two years of significant losses at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) totaling a combined nearly $2 million, the GGPoker ambassador plans to lighten the load this year. On Friday, the 2024 WSOP schedule, which includes 99 gold bracelet events, was released to the poker community's delight.
Negreanu, who regularly plays 60 or more events, will *only* play around 45 events this summer.
New Year, Better Results?
The Poker Hall of Famer posted his tentative WSOP schedule on X, but it isn't set in stone. He told there's a chance he could increase the number of tournaments played should he find himself near the top of the Player of the Year leaderboard. But he explained that his focus will be on sleep, and he could skip certain events when tired.
In past years, Negreanu has posted daily WSOP vlogs on YouTube. His followers have witnessed firsthand his bad runs the past two summers, but that could all change this year with an increased focus on rest.
The six-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner isn't just sticking to a lighter tournament schedule during the WSOP. He posted a video earlier this year explaining some changes he plans to make following a year in which he lost over $2.2 million in live poker tournaments. One of the main changes is to limit the amount of events he plays so that he's sharp and focused when he does play.
