Daniel Negreanu delivered a classic bit of WSOP table talk to Twitter, joking that the $100K PLO suddenly feels more open after Eelis Parssinen was eliminated after three bullets.
PSA for PLO players: Eelis Parssinen is eliminated from the $100k PLO 3 bullets down. Come join us for day 2 registration now that we all have a chance!

High-roller PLO fields are packed with specialists, and Parssinen has built a reputation as one of the toughest outs in the format. So when a name like that is out before late registration closes, it becomes immediate chatter for anyone still debating whether to jump in.
Negreanu’s post also underlines the strategic wrinkle that makes these events unique: the ability to fire multiple bullets and still register into Day 2 changes the incentives. Players are not only choosing lines in hands, they are choosing how to allocate bullets and energy across an entire schedule.
Whether it is humor or gamesmanship, it is also very “WSOP 2026”: pros discussing the state of a six-figure buy-in tournament like it is a neighborhood game, while the rail and the timeline react in real time.
If the late reg window stays busy, the $100K PLO should only get tougher from here. But for one moment, Negreanu gave the rest of the field permission to believe.
