Donkey of the Year award goes to Sheldon Adelson for his hypocritical anti-gambling campaign, the award is passed on from Howard Lederer who held the position for two consecutive years.
Player of the Year was none other than PokerStars legend Daniel Negreanu.
Negreanu just needed to make the final table of the High Roller Event to claim his 2013 POY title and managed to win the tournament and his 2nd WSOP bracelet for 2013.
This is Negreanu’s second WSOP player of the Year title, his previous title was won in 2004 a decade ago.
Negreanu started out on the final table with the lowest chip stack and found himself head-ups verses Brazilian player, Nicolau Villa-Lobos.
