Hrabec Continues to Dominate
The Czech Republic’s Roman Hrabec kicked things off by winning Event #1: $25,750 No-Limit Hold’em 8-Max for $316,000, just the latest high-stakes victory for the former hockey professional.
Earlier this year, Hrabec shipped the Triton Poker Jeju $100,000 Main Event for a career-best $4.3 million before winning his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet this summer in an online event that brought him $100,228.
Continuing his hot streak, Hrabec topped a field of 39 players and a final table that included high-roller regulars Sam Greenwood (5th - $83,000) and Leonard Maue (4th - $116,500), as well as two players on hot streaks of their own.
Third-place finisher Kayhan Mokricatapulted to the highest stakes last year and notably pulled more than $300,000 in bounties at a single poker stop, while runner-up Santhosh Suvarna is fresh off a career victory in the WSOP $250,000 Super High Roller for $5.4 million.

Like with Hracbec, the victory gave Zhou his third victory of 2024. In March he took down a WPT Korea 2-7 Single Draw vent for $3,605 and went on to win a Triton Poker Super High Roller $25,000 event the same month for $530,000.
England’s Lewis Spencer finished runner-up for $220,000, while fellow Brit Ben Heath finished fourth for $116,500. The final table also included Ren Lin (3rd - $158,000) and Jeremy Ausmus (6th - $62,000), yet another player who is continuing a fantastic year.
Earlier this summer, Ausmus tied Phil Hellmuth’s WSOP record by making seven final tables.
