Negreanu expressed his appreciation for the honor via Twitter.

I’m very proud of the year I had and super grateful I get to play a game for a living.

Wow, what an emotional roller coaster this was!

I did say I like dramatic finishes and this one certainly fits the bill!

While there is no cash prize for WSOP POY, poker is my passion.

The title is the achievement and acknowledgment of a lot of hard work, long grueling days against top competition.
