Tony Sinishtaj

It’s a small early field in Event 29, but they have some talent filling the seats at the start. Among them, we found Tony Sinishtag, Steve Bucker, Ryan Van Sanford, Blake Bohn, Matt Affleck, and Justin Zaki.

Sinishtaj put his name on the WPT Champions Cup by winning our Poker Showdown Championship in 2017. Buckner came one river card away from winning his first WPT title but fell short to Chance Kornuth. He has banked more than $500,000 in cashes in 2022 including his first WSOP Circuit ring one week ago.

Event 29 Champion Georges Boyadjian
Event 29 Champion Georges Boyadjian

There were 179 entries in Tuesday night’s Deep Stack Turbo No-Limit Hold’em event, nearly doubling the $30K guarantee to create a prizepool worth $59,965.

It took just over eight hours until the final three players agreed to an ICM deal to end the tournament shortly after 3:00 am. As chipleader, Georges Boyadjian was awarded the title, the trophy, and $12,327.

Mikhail Shlapakou received $10,334 for second place, and Sam Zalmanov received $9,129 for third.

Boyadjian started the final table with a large chip lead, but as you’d expect from a turbo structure, there were quite a few chip count swings at the final table. At first, nothing went right for Boyadjian as he doubled up several other players. But he had enough chips to weather that slide, and he was able to build momentum late to take the chip lead when it mattered most — when the tournament ended.

Georges Boyadjian limped from the small blind for 100,000, Andres Jeckeln moved all in from the big blind for 950,000, and Boyadjian quickly called all in for 875,000 with QcJc.

The board came 10d9c7hJhKc, and Boyadjian paired his jack on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

Georges Boyadjian  –  1,850,000  (19 bb)

The next hand, Mikhail Shlapakou limped under the gun for 100,000, Andres Jeckeln called all in from the small blind for 75,000, and Sam Zalmanov checked his option in the big blind.

Zalmanov and Shlapakou checked all the way down on a board of Kc8c3d2sJd, and all three players showed their cards.

Mikhail Shlapakou:  AdJh  (pair of jacks, ace kicker)
Sam Zalmanov:  Js9c  (pair of jacks, nine kicker)
Andres Jeckeln:  8s6s  (pair of eights)
