The action from the World Poker Tour’s first Russian stop has come to a halt with Denys Shafikov winning the Main Event, and partypoker ambassador, Anatoly Filatov, winning the High Roller.
The World Poker Tour (WPT) ticked another item off the bucket list after hosting an event in Russia for the first time in the tour’s illustrious history.
The partypoker LIVE WPT Russia Main Event took place at the Casino Sochi, and it was a resounding success with 503-entrants, creating a top prize of $255,259 and a seat in the season-ending Baccarat Crystal WPT Tournament of Champions.
The final table of six threw up three split ends each with a poker story to tell.
