A second scoring error in an earlier bracelet event has revealed KidPoker was a three time WSOP POY after all.
One of the most controversial stories of 2019 was Daniel Negreanu winning the WSOP Player of the Year, only to discover a few days later there was an error in the scoring system and Robert Campbell was the actual winner.
Now, some four months later, a second admin error has been revealed. It turns out he was given 257.4 points for his 9th place finish in the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event when he should have actually been awarded 467.2 points.
This was enough to see him leapfrog Campbell by over 100 points, meaning he really did win the WSOP Player of the Year race for a record third time.
Negreanu commented upon hearing the news:
I am obviously delighted with this news, but very nervous that another error might be revealed to say I didn’t actually win. Either way, I plan on winning POY for a fourth time this year at the World Series of Poker, which is totally happening by the way.
We reached out to Robert Campbell who told us he “didn’t care” that he was no longer the 2019 WSOP Player of the Year .
Shaun Deeb, who potentially could have won the title had he known about the first admin error, was unavailable for comment.
