In the wake of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule unveiling, Daniel Negreanu took to social media to share his plans for the upcoming summer series – along with a by-the-numbers style breakdown of his chosen events.
While it's good to have a plan in place, the entirely unpredictable nature of tournament poker may lead to a slight tweak here or there and any resulting deep runs might bring about a schedule shift. Plus, with Negreanu always live to compete in the WSOP Player of the Year race, his scheduling commitments may increase if he finds himself in the running for the honor. For now, here's how 'Kid Poker's' summer looks to be shaping up.
The Negreanu plan
With 100 live events on the schedule for 2026, Negreanu has whittled his personal attack plan down to a more manageable timeline of 40 tournaments.
It's going to be an expensive summer for the Canadian, as more than half of his buy-ins will come at the $10,000 and above price points – with the $250K Super High Roller standing as the high watermark and the $300 Gladiators of Poker as his least expensive entry.
