The poker stars completed the 12,500th hand of the $200/$400 no-limit hold’em match on Dec. 28. Per the rules, the player who trails at the midway point has the option to call it quits without penalty. If that player decides to play on, the match will consist of 25,000 hands.

Negreanu said on his most recent post-game interview on the GGPoker YouTube channel that he was pondering giving up, although it was clear that it was unlikely he would choose that route. He took to Twitter on New Year’s Day to announce his official decision.
