Daniel Negreanu Makes Final Table at Mixed Games Event (Mori's Mix) in Las Vegas
- Daniel Negreanu finishes 6th in $10,200 8-Game event.
- Maxx Coleman wins, climbing USA's All Time Money List.
- Mori Eskandani's participation leads to hidden hole cards.
Daniel Negreanu, the face of GGPoker face and Canadian poker, finished 6th in a $10,200 8-Game event on March 3rd, 2025. The field was difficult with Maxx Coleman outlasting poker Hall of Famer Mori Eskandani.
Daniel Negreanu Out in 6th Place
Daniel Negreanu participated in a poker tournament earlier this week, a mixed-games event in Las Vegas at the PokerGO Studio, ARIA Resort and Casino.
Negreanu, the GGPoker Ambassador and Canada's best known player, finished sixth in the $10,000 + 200 event, known as Mori's Mix. He took down just a small prize by his standards, winning $38,500 for his efforts.
Negreanu finishing sixth in the event is a good result. This was a quality field and Negreanu’s 6th here shows he’s still competitive in strong company. In a field that Americans dominated, Negreanu was the highest-finishing non-American.
Mori's Mix Results For Top Ten Finishes
Maxx Coleman of the USA, a player in his mid-30s, won the tournament. He moved up to 223rd on the USA's All Time Money List.
Maxx Coleman of the USA, a player in his mid-30s, won the tournament. He moved up to 223rd on the USA's All Time Money List.
Coleman has a penchant for mixed games. His win follows a win back in November in an 8-game event on the North American Poker Tour. He also made the news back in July 2024 as he finished Day 1 as the chipleader of the $10,000 HORSE Championship at the World Series of Poker.
The table below summarizes the high finishers.
1st: Maxx Coleman (USA) - $210,000, 325.62 points
2nd: Mori Eskandani (USA) - $136,500, 253.74 points
3rd: Mike Gorodinsky (USA) - $94,500, 219.11 points

10th: Benny Glaser (England) - $21,000, 150.88 points
No Hole Cards for Online Railbirds
The second-placed finisher, Mori Eskandani, is the Executive Producer and Vice President of Content at PokerGo. His involvement in the tournament as a player meant that the hole cards for the event could not be shown to those who were following online.
Usually, online railbirds are allowed to see the hole cards but in this case, player hole cards were hidden for the entire final table streaming.
The announcers, time and again, stated that hole cards would be visible after Eskandani was eliminated. However, since he finished second, his elimination coincided with the end of the tournament.
His pocket queens got rivered in Limit Hold'em by Coleman's pocket 7s. Eskandani was a pretty short stack but would have surely felt some optimism had his QQ held up against the 77 hand. But for heads-up play, both players had a hand that was hard to fold. The board ran out 49K37 for the dramatic ending.
