“Titanic rise: how a Ukrainian poker pro won a prestigious tournament with a buy-in of $60,000”, — write: sport.ua
After the triumph, Yaroshevsky briefly commented on his victory, but his fans in his native camp loudly chanted “Second time!” at the end of the tournament. The total number of participants was 61 people, which made it possible to form a prize fund in the amount of $3.66 million. Of these, at least $91,500 went to the top 11 players.
Starting with a small stack, Yaroszewski gradually strengthened his position and at the decisive moment defeated Alex Teologis in a heads-up confrontation. Despite the significant advantage of the opponent in chips at the beginning of the final stage, the Ukrainian managed to return to the game and win a confident victory, ending the tournament on a high note.
