A stacked field, a legendary format, and a long-awaited moment—Andjelko Andrejevic has officially added a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet to his already impressive poker résumé.

After four intense days of play at the 2025 WSOP, Serbian-born poker professional Andjelko Andrejevic triumphed over a tough field in the prestigious $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Max event, collecting his first gold bracelet and a top prize of $855,515.

“It is something that every poker player dreams of. It’s a breath of fresh air to finally be here,” Andrejevic told PokerNews following his career-defining victory.

Once known as one of the most elite no-limit hold’em events of the summer, the $5K Six-Max has long been a proving ground for top-tier talent. Despite the rise of nosebleed buy-in high rollers, this WSOP poker tournament still commands deep respect among seasoned pros and rising stars alike.

Breaking Down the Final Day

The event drew an impressive 1,168 entries, generating a $5,527,120 prize pool, with the top 176 players finishing in the money.

Some of the game’s biggest names made deep runs, including:

• Anthony Zinno (37th – five-time WSOP bracelet winner)
• Alexandros Kolonias (36th – 2019 WSOP Europe Main Event champ)
• Qing Liu (35th – WPT champion)
• Pete Chen (28th – two-time WSOP bracelet winner)
• Renan Bruschi, Taylor Paur, Arnaud Enselme, Samuel Bernabeu, Mustapha Kanit, and Renji Mao were also among the late eliminations.

The unofficial final table was set after high-stakes regular Marius Gierse was eliminated in sixth place, earning $148,548 when his K♣6♦ couldn’t outrun Matthew Zambanini’s A♣9♦.

How The Final Table Played Out

5th Place – Brandon Sheils ($203,292)

The final five returned on Day 4, led by Zambanini. It took hours before the next bustout. Brandon Sheils raised with A♠K♣, only to call off his stack when Niall Farrell shoved with A♥2♥. A 10♥5♥2♦6♦6♥ board gave Farrell the nut flush.

4th Place – Matthew Zambanini ($282,471)

Despite starting with the lead, Zambanini fell in fourth. He jammed the 5♦4♥4♦ flop with 9♦5♣ but ran into Andrejevic’s trip fours with Q♥4♣. No help arrived on the turn or river.

A Quickfire Finish

The three-handed portion didn’t last long. First, Farrell was eliminated when he shoved J♣5♦ into Adrien Delmas’ A♣3♠. The board came K♠K♣4♦4♣10♣, giving Delmas the better kicker and sending Farrell home with $398,409—pushing his lifetime earnings beyond $7.2 million.

Heads-up play began with Andrejevic holding 33.9 million chips against Delmas’ 23.5 million. On the very first hand, Delmas limped with 5♠5♥ and Andrejevic raised with 7♠7♥. Delmas shoved, Andrejevic called, and the K♥6♥3♠10♥3♥ board gave both players a flush—but Andrejevic’s was best.

Adrien Delmas earned $570,284 as runner-up—his largest career cash—bringing his lifetime live earnings to over $1.3 million.

A Long-Awaited WSOP Victory

This WSOP bracelet win pushes Andrejevic’s live tournament earnings past $6.8 million. He previously won the 2016 WPT Amsterdam Main Event and scored a career-best $1.1 million in a 2015 APPT Macau high roller.

The win also awarded Andrejevic 1,920 Card Player Player of the Year (POY) points, placing him just outside the top 100 in the 2025 POY standings presented by Coin Poker.

Final Table Results – 2025 WSOP $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Max

Stay tuned to PokerNews for more live coverage, player interviews, and final table breakdowns from the 2025 World Series of Poker—the world’s biggest and most prestigious poker tournament series.

Samuel Rosborough broke through in a big way at the 2025 World Series of Poker, claiming his first WSOP bracelet and a massive $410,426 payday in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout. The Spring, Texas native outlasted a field of 2,320 entries at Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas to claim the most prestigious trophy in tournament poker.

Prior to this win, Rosborough’s biggest score came from a fourth-place finish at the 2024 Aria Poker Classic, where he earned $31,974 in an $800 buy-in event. With this breakthrough victory, he now boasts close to half a million in lifetime earnings—and a gold bracelet to headline the resume.

This wasn’t Rosborough’s only deep run of the series. Earlier, he placed 10th in the $1,500 Super Turbo Bounty, narrowly missing another final table in the fast-paced format won by John Racener.

Big Names Fall as Samuel Rosborough Rises

The $3.1 million prize pool saw 349 players make the money, with a number of familiar faces running deep. WSOP Main Event champ Jamie Gold finished 30th, Felipe Ramos took 17th, and 2020 WSOP Online Main Event winner Stoyan Madanzhiev placed 14th. Deep finishes also came from bracelet holders Jeremy Saderne (13th), Julio Belluscio (9th), and Bryan Piccioli (6th).

Michael Rossitto made a push late on Day 3 by busting Eric Berman (5th – $110,463) and Tanupat Punjarojanakul (4th – $147,952) to bring the event down to three players. Despite these knockouts, he entered Day 4 as the short stack.

Final Day Action: Rosborough vs. Conniff

Day 4 began with 2024 WSOP $5K Champions Reunion winner Asher Conniff in the lead, but Rosborough quickly chipped up and then made a bold all-in move with pocket deuces against Rossitto’s A♥K♥. The small pair held, knocking out Rossitto in third place for $200,173 and setting the stage for a heads-up clash.

Samuel Rosborough began the duel with a commanding lead, but Conniff clawed back, even taking a brief chip advantage. The turning point came when Conniff four-bet shoved pocket eights into Rosborough’s pocket kings. The kings held, giving Rosborough a massive lead.

Despite a few double-ups, Conniff couldn’t complete the comeback. In the final hand, Rosborough’s 8♦6♠ hit a flush on the river against Conniff’s A♥Q♥. Conniff earned $273,545 for second place, while Samuel Rosborough celebrated his first career bracelet win.

Tyler Patterson etched his name into World Series of Poker history once again, capturing his second WSOP bracelet after a commanding run in Event #49: $3,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em at the 2025 WSOP in Las Vegas.

The longtime tournament pro from Everett, Washington, was unstoppable at the final table, eliminating each of the last five players in just over two hours en route to victory. For his efforts, Patterson banked $574,223, earned 1,440 Card Player Player of the Year points, and secured the most significant live tournament score of his two-decade-long poker career.

Patterson Adds Second WSOP Bracelet in Style

A familiar face in high-stakes tournament circles, Tyler Patterson already had a WSOP bracelet and a World Poker Tour title on his résumé. But this win — achieved through a blitzkrieg of knockouts at the final table — stands apart.

The final day began with 69 players still chasing gold. Among them were elite names like Brian Altman, Brian Hastings, Davidi Kitai, and Chris Moorman, but none could withstand the pace. Patterson and Matthew Wantman entered Day 2 among the chip leaders and seemed destined to clash.

By 8:30 p.m. local time, the final six were set, and the WSOP bracelet was within grasp.

Final Table Recap: All Patterson, All the Way

Patterson wasted no time asserting dominance. Holding red kings against Jakub Michalak‘s queens, he secured the first knockout in sixth place. From there, the momentum was unrelenting:

• Yohwan Lim was next. Despite holding A♦10♦ in a blind-vs-blind clash, Patterson’s A♥8♥ hit an 8 on the flop and held to send the Korean pro out in fifth.

• Andy Wilson fell in fourth when Patterson’s pocket jacks held strong against sevens.

• Then came a dramatic hand against Michael Walsh, who jammed with K♥J♥. Patterson called with Q♠7♣ and spiked a queen on the flop to reduce the field to two.

Patterson entered heads-up play against Matthew Wantman with a monstrous lead — more than 10-to-1 in chips. Moments later, it was all over.

In the final hand, Wantman moved all-in with J♥7♣, and Patterson called with A♣9♦. The board ran out A♦4♠3♠9♣6♦, securing Patterson’s second WSOP bracelet and one of the most efficient final table runs in recent memory.

A Missed Bracelet for Wantman

While Patterson celebrated, Matthew Wantman — a WPT champion with over $9 million in live earnings — came painfully close to his first WSOP bracelet. Despite a valiant effort, this marked only his fifth WSOP final table and second in a live event.

Final Table Payouts – Event #49: $3,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em

Two-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner Club Welcomes Patterson

Patterson’s second WSOP bracelet isn’t just another trophy — it cements his legacy as one of the most consistent and respected tournament grinders of his generation. With over $4 million in career earnings and now two pieces of WSOP gold, his place in poker history is secured.

Stay tuned to PokerNews for more 2025 WSOP bracelet winner coverage and daily event recaps from Las Vegas.

Veteran pro Ian Johns has done it again. The Seattle native etched his name deeper into poker history after taking down the prestigious $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship at the 2025 World Series of Poker, earning his fourth career WSOP bracelet and the top prize of $282,455.

Johns topped a stacked field of 118 entries to win what is widely considered the crown jewel of limit hold’em events. It marks his second victory in this championship, having first claimed the title in 2016. That same summer, he also bagged the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. bracelet just 10 days earlier. His first bracelet came all the way back in 2006 when he shipped a $3,000 limit hold’em event—making three of his four WSOP titles in fixed-limit formats.

Another Loaded Final Table

The road to Johns’ fourth bracelet wasn’t easy, as he had to navigate a final table stacked with elite talent. Among those falling short were Daniel Negreanu (8th – $31,316), Ryan Bambrick (5th – $67,782), Pedro Neves (4th – $92,774), Anthony Zinno (3rd – $130,447), and high-stakes icon Viktor “Isildur1” Blom, who finished runner-up for $188,295.

This latest victory pushes Johns’ lifetime tournament earnings past $2.2 million, with the majority coming from his impressive WSOP résumé. The 40-year-old also picked up 600 Card Player Player of the Year (POY) points and 282 PokerGO Tour (PGT) points for the win.

It’s been a strong series for Johns so far, with this result marking his second cash of the summer. He previously finished ninth in the $1,500 Limit Hold’em event just days earlier.

Big Names Fall Short

Of the 118 entries, the top 18 players made the money in this year’s championship, splitting a $1,097,400 prize pool. Among the notables who cashed but missed the final table were Patrick Leonard (16th), John Hennigan (15th), Jeremy Ausmus (12th), Dzmitry Urbanovich (10th), and Scott Bohlman (9th), who was the first casualty on Day 3 after his aces were cracked.

Negreanu was next out the door after his ace-ten was outdrawn by David Lieberman’s queen-nine. Lieberman bowed out in seventh ($39,349) after a costly clash with Zinno and a final confrontation against Max Hoffman’s pocket nines.

From Three Players to One Champion

Once the action was three-handed, Johns, Zinno, and Blom traded blows in a prolonged battle. Eventually, Zinno found himself short and committed with K♠10♦ against Johns’ A♠9♥. A seven-high board offered no help, and Zinno was eliminated in third place for $130,447—bringing his career earnings to just shy of $12.7 million.

Heads-up play began with Johns holding a slight lead over Blom and quickly expanded after Johns scooped a big pot with a full house. The final hand saw Johns raise the button with A♣10♦ and call a three-bet from Blom, who held Q♠9♠. On a 6♠5♣3♠ flop, Blom led out with his flush draw, but Johns called. The 10♥ on the turn gave Johns top pair, prompting a raise over Blom’s bet. Blom moved all-in, and Johns made the call. The K♥ on the river was a brick, sealing the win for Johns.

Blom’s Deep Series Continues

Despite falling just short, Viktor Blom added another big score to his impressive 2025 WSOP run. This marked his third final-table appearance and fourth cash of the series. His biggest result remains a sixth-place finish in the $50,000 High Roller, which netted him $349,068. With this runner-up result, Blom’s live tournament earnings now exceed $8.4 million.

Final Table Results – 2025 WSOP $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship

With the win, Johns joins a growing list of 2025 bracelet winners who are adding to their existing collections—22 of the first 39 bracelets awarded this summer have now gone to past champions.

Once the dominant format in live poker—particularly in cash games—Limit Hold’em may have taken a backseat in recent years, but the 2025 World Series of Poker showed that the classic variant still commands a dedicated following. A total of 491 players entered this year’s $1,500 Limit Hold’em event, generating a prize pool of $651,802. That marks an impressive 10.8% increase from the 443 entries seen in 2024.

Emerging victorious was Canada’s Jason Duong, who claimed his first WSOP gold bracelet and a top prize of $130,061. Duong outlasted Adam Tyburski in a grueling heads-up duel that stretched nearly three hours, with Tyburski ultimately settling for the $86,673 runner-up payout.

This win marked Duong’s second recorded cash in this specific event; he previously finished 33rd in 2022.

The tournament paid out the top 74 spots, with several notable names making deep runs. These included seven-time bracelet winner Scott Seiver (34th), three-time winners Daniel Idema (32nd), David “Bakes” Baker (26th), and Ian Johns (9th), five-time champion John Monnette (25th), and high-stakes pro Chris Hunichen (8th).

Final Table Results:

Jason Koon has done it again. The high-stakes crusher converted a final table chip lead into victory at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), taking down Event #31: $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller for $1,968,927 and his second career gold bracelet.

Koon topped a field of 171 entries to secure the win, defeating fellow bracelet winner Andrew “LuckyChewy” Lichtenberger heads-up after a dramatic final day of play. While it’s Koon’s largest WSOP score to date, it doesn’t even crack his top five all-time cashes—further proof of just how dominant the West Virginia native has been on the high roller circuit.

A Dominant Run Continues

The win adds to an already massive 2025 for Koon, who has cashed for more than $6.5 million since the start of May, including two victories at Triton Montenegro. One of those wins—a $150K buy-in—earned him nearly $3.4 million and pushed his career earnings to nearly $66 million, good for third on poker’s all-time money list.

“I just play when I want to now,” Koon said after the win. “My family’s with me when I travel, so I travel less. But when I do show up, I’m locked in.”

Although he’s shifted away from chasing bracelets full-time, Koon still holds the WSOP close to his heart.

“It’s nostalgia for me,” he said. “Back in college, I watched the WSOP on ESPN. I remember that buzz the first time I came here, and I still feel that energy when I see younger players come in excited to play.”

Final Table Action

Ten players returned for the final day, with Koon leading the way. His chip stack swelled early when he won a massive preflop confrontation, his pocket aces holding against the pocket kings of Sean Winter, who exited in 11th place ($130,082).

From there, the bustouts came quickly:

• 10th: Dominykas Mikolaitis – $130,082
• 9th: Chongxian Yang – $161,048
• 8th: Aliaksei Boika – $203,919
• Boika fell in brutal fashion, with his aces cracked by Andrew Lichtenberger’s K-J suited, which completed a straight on the turn.

Reagan Silber was the next to go in 7th place ($263,944) after running A♦K♦ into Sergey Lebedev’s suited K♠Q♠. Lebedev made a flush on the turn, sending Silber to the rail.

Swedish online legend Viktor “Isildur1” Blom bowed out in sixth place ($349,068) after getting short and running A♦6♦ into Koon’s A♠10♠. The American flopped top pair and held, adding to his chip advantage.

The Cooler That Changed Everything

Koon maintained a large chip lead as the final five played down to the televised portion of the event. Andrew Lichtenberger then went on a short tear, eliminating both Sergey Lebedev (5th – $471,473) and Brock Wilson (4th – $650,074), who recorded a career-best score.

Then came the hand of the tournament. With three players left, Ben Tollerene opened with K♣7♣, Koon three-bet with A♠A♥, and Lichtenberger cold four-bet with K♥K♦. After Koon five-bet, Lichtenberger shoved for over 19 million, and Koon snap-called.

The board ran out A♦J♥3♣10♥10♦, giving Koon aces full and a pot worth more than 75% of the chips in play. Lichtenberger was crippled, and Tollerene would bust the next hand in 3rd place ($914,634).

Heads-Up Battle: Koon vs. Lichtenberger

Koon entered heads-up play with a more than 2:1 chip lead over Lichtenberger, and despite the latter briefly pulling ahead after rivering nut flushes in back-to-back pots, Koon steadily rebuilt his advantage.

In the final hand, Lichtenberger jammed A♠10♦ and Koon called with K♦Q♠. The board ran out K♥J♥2♠8♦7♣, and Koon’s top pair sealed the victory.

Lichtenberger earned $1,312,610 for his runner-up finish, moving his career tournament earnings to nearly $23.5 million.

Final Table Results

In yet another career-defining moment, Jason Koon Triton Poker dominance reached new heights as the 39-year-old American poker pro clinched his record-extending 11th Triton Poker title. Koon took down the $150,000 No-Limit Hold’em event at the 2025 Triton Poker Montenegro series, topping a competitive field of 108 entries to earn $3,393,656, the second-largest payout of his storied career.

This latest win pushes Koon’s lifetime tournament earnings past $65 million and vaults him into fifth place on the all-time money list.

“I’m just at a point in my life now where I’m very comfortable in myself,” said Koon after his victory. “I have an incredible life outside poker, and that allows me to sit down, feel free, and play my best.”

Heads-Up Against Mentor Ben Tollerene: A Full-Circle Moment

The final table came down to an emotional duel between Koon and longtime friend and mentor Ben Tollerene. Koon reflected on their journey, saying:

“Twelve years ago, when I first saw what it took to be an elite poker player, it was through Ben. I never thought I’d be standing here like this.”

The duo struck a heads-up deal before playing for the trophy and $130,000 in leftover prize money. Koon ultimately prevailed when his pocket sixes held against Tollerene’s ace-nine.

Jason Koon Widens Lead on Triton Title Leaderboard

Already the Triton tour’s all-time leader, Jason Koon’s Triton Poker title count now sits at 11, six ahead of second-place holders Phil Ivey, Mikita Badziakouski, Bryn Kenney, and Danny Tang, each with five.

This marked Koon’s first Triton win since November 2023, when he won a $25K PLO event in Monte Carlo. His 11th title adds to an astonishing record that includes:

• 60 cashes on the Triton tour

• Over $33 million in Triton earnings

• Five of his top six cashes coming in Triton events

Star-Studded Field Creates $16.2M Prize Pool

The $150K buy-in event generated a massive $16,200,000 prize pool, with 17 players making the money. Notable deep runs included:

• Joao Simao – 15th

• Patrik Antonius – 13th

• Daniel Dvoress – 12th

• Santhosh Suvarna – 11th

Final Table Recap: Jason Koon Leads, Tollerene Surges

9th–5th Place Eliminations

Koon began the final table as chip leader, while Tollerene climbed by eliminating elite competition:

• 9th: Isaac Haxton – $405,000

• 8th: Christoph Vogelsang – $543,000

• 7th: Wiktor Malinowski – $721,000

• 6th: Eelis Parssinen – $943,000

• 5th: Matthias Eibinger – $1,195,000

Eibinger’s recent hot streak continued, boosting his career earnings past $26 million.

Phil Ivey’s Deep Run Ends in 4th

Phil Ivey, poker legend and 11-time WSOP bracelet winner, laddered his way to fourth place before running into Koon’s full house. He exited with $1,482,000, pushing his career earnings past the $50 million milestone.

Wayne Heung’s Best Career Finish

Wayne Heung scored a career-best $1,790,000 for his third-place finish. His 10♦9♦ was cracked by Tollerene’s A♠10♣ after a dramatic turn card completed a straight.

Heads-Up Deal and Final Hand

Heads-up began with Tollerene holding a slight chip lead. The two agreed to the following deal:

• Tollerene: $3,437,344

• Koon: $3,263,656

• Trophy + $130,000 left to play

Koon quickly regained momentum with a double-up and sealed the win when his 6♠6♦ held against A♥9♠ on a clean runout.

Tollerene Scores Second-Biggest Career Cash

Despite the loss, Ben Tollerene walked away with $3,437,344, the second-largest score of his tournament career, behind only his $3.5 million finish in the 2024 WSOP $250K Super High Roller. His total career earnings now exceed $26 million.

Jason Koon Triton Poker Legacy Grows Stronger

With each Triton event, Jason Koon continues to cement his status as one of the greatest high-stakes tournament players in the world. His Triton Poker success now accounts for half of his career earnings, and his dominance shows no signs of slowing.

Jesse Lonis is rewriting the narrative of the 2025 poker season. The 29-year-old American poker pro added another massive trophy to his collection after taking down the $100,000 buy-in Triton Poker Montenegro Main Event, scoring a career-best $3,446,298. This victory is his third Triton Poker title and highlights a spring stretch that’s seen him dominate the international poker tournament scene.

Since March, Jesse Lonis has cashed for more than $7.3 million across 14 in-the-money finishes, including five titles and 12 final tables. Over $6.3 million of that came in May alone during his extended European tour, with the bulk coming from Triton Poker tournaments.

“It’s emotional,” Lonis shared with Triton staff. “I’m away from my family for a long time, and I told them I was going to make it worthwhile.”

In addition to the main event, Lonis also secured a win in the $40,000 Mystery Bounty, collecting $619,000 in prize money and $800,000 in bounties. He’s cashed in five of ten Triton Poker Montenegro events, racking up $5.6 million at this stop alone.

Triton Poker Montenegro: A Star-Studded Poker Tournament Final Table

The $18 million prize pool attracted 180 entries to the Maestral Resort & Casino, with poker legends battling for one of the most prestigious titles on the Triton Poker calendar.

Final Table Results:

Notable deep runs came from Alex Foxen (10th), Leon Sturm (11th), and Espen Jorstad (12th), all of whom fell just shy of the final table.

Jesse Lonis Tops Poker Tournament Giants

With a chip lead entering the final table, Jesse Lonis faced a tough lineup that included two-time POY winner Stephen Chidwick, defending champion Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, and four-time Triton champion Fedor Holz.

Highlights included:

• Martirosian’s pocket kings cracked by Vaskaboinikau’s A-K

• Chidwick’s pocket queens beaten by a flopped set of deuces

• Vogelsang’s K-Q falling to A-K of Kiat Lee

• Kiat Lee ultimately bested by Lonis’ T-8 suited

Heads-up play came down to Lonis and Vaskaboinikau. After a short-lived battle and a deal, Lonis secured the win with K♦10♣ over Q♣J♣, sealing his Triton Poker main event title.

Jesse Lonis Leads 2025 Player of the Year Race After Triton Poker Dominance

Thanks to this massive spring heater and Triton Poker success, Jesse Lonis is now the clear frontrunner in the 2025 Card Player Player of the Year race, sponsored by CoinPoker. His poker tournament performance this year—featuring over a dozen final tables and five major titles—puts him on pace for a historic season.

A Career-Defining Win at the World Series of Poker Circuit

The $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em event was a featured stop on the World Series of Poker Circuit and drew 250 entries across two starting flights. The field generated a prize pool of $378,750, with payouts reaching the top 39 finishers.

Roman, who hails from Huntington, West Virginia, outlasted a competitive field to capture his second career tournament victory and his first official WSOP Circuit title.

“I’ve been playing since 2006 off and on, so I just recently came back to play,” Roman said. “I came here because it’s only three hours away from where I live … and voilà, first ring.”

Roman’s Journey Through the WSOP Circuit Main Event

Roman began the final table in the middle of the pack but quickly picked up momentum. The pace was fast from the start, with Eric Poole exiting in ninth and Aaron Gamino falling in eighth — the latter knocked out by Roman himself.

As play progressed, Roman scored a timely double-up by making Broadway against the wheel. He then helped eliminate Brian Jones in seventh, and saw Niles Lawless and Frank Covich bust in sixth and fifth, respectively.

Though Roman entered four-handed play as the short stack, he doubled again with Ace-Ten vs. Ace-Eight. Iverson Shuffer was next to go, and Roman again found himself behind when three-handed play began.

A dramatic hand turned things around: Roman’s Ace-King cracked Bradford Albrinck’s pocket kings with an ace on the flop, giving him the chip lead. He then eliminated Albrinck in third place, entering heads-up action against Trace Henderson with a commanding lead.

WSOPC Victory Sealed in One Hand
