It was a good day for Europeans as Nadar Kakhmazov won Russia’s third bracelet of the summer in a $5k No-Limit Hold’em event, and Rifat Palevic picked up Sweden’s first in the brand new $1k Super Turbo Bounty event.

It happens.

You get a dream final table lineup, full of superstars, bracelet winners, and high rollers, and a complete unknown ends up winning the thing.

Event #35: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em always produces a high-quality final table, but this year was exceptional. The former World Poker Tour (WPT) Player of the Year (POY) Faraz Jaka was leading the way followed by bracelet winner Sam Soverel, former November Niner Kenny Hallaert, and The Big Huni himself Chris Hunichen.
