Along with the shine, Yurasov shipped the US$ 36,224 first prize plus US$ 56,486 in bounty rewards for a combined US$ 92,710 payday.

Five days ago, Yurasov also had a strong finish at the WSOP Online: $365 Sunday GIANT where he placed 2nd for US$ 69,972.

Later that same year, Yurasov shipped the Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP) HK$ 250K No Limit Hold’em High Roller for HK$ 3,560,000 (~US$ 456,270). These were his two biggest wins.

Just before the close of Day 1, Hong Kong pro Yan Shing “Anson” Tsang won a three way pot that sent his stack soaring to 5th rank. He went on to eliminate Matthew “BTC2zERO” Stone in 11th place.

Final Day recap

The final day set off with ten players hunting down the gold. At the helm was Germany’s Daniel Perkusic with a massive 105 BB while on the opposite end was Fausto “Fantastik55” Tantillo with 13 BB. The first three shoves saw double ups to “Nowwearefree”, Tsang, and short stacked Tantillo, while the next three were eliminations. Perkusic railed “Nowwearefree”, David “Mclovin86” Mzareulov emptied out “tanqueray10”, and missing the final table by one spot was “trubadur” with Yurasov shipping it with 6c4s4c3c straight over AsQsQh7h set on a board Qc3s4d5s2c.

Only two WSOP decorated players were on the final virtual round, bracelet winner Yurasov and double bracelet winner Tsang who was on his second final table. Tsang placed 2nd at the WSOP #8: $5,000 6-Handed NLH Championship. Still holding a strong up top was Perkusic with 92 BB, average at 40 BB, and running second was 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event champion Barer with 47 BB. Within the first twenty minutes, Tsang’s bid for a third strap was denied again. He fell in 7th place to David “Mclovin86” Mzareulov. All in at the flop on a board that completed 7h8hAd2hKc, Tsang had Jd10c9d7s pair, Mzareulov with a better KdQs9s7d two pair.

At six remaining, the game slowed. During the hour or so long fight, chip leader Perkusic began to lose his grip, paying multiple double ups including one to Barer who moved up to the leader’s spot. Barer continued to ascend and piled in more chips by booting Tantillo in 6th place. With over half the chips in play at his disposal, Barer took full control and delivered a doubled knockout to Mzareulov (5th) and Perkusic (4th). All in preflop, Barer Qs10c9h7c straight, Mzareulov AdJc7h2d pair, Perkusic Jh10s10d4h two pair. (Hand pictured below)

With his towering stack, Barer continued his hot pursuit, pressuring both Yurasov and Samuel “FishIdiot” Saariaho. This led to a double up to both players however it still didn’t cause much of a dent to his stack. Yurasov finished off Saariaho with Jd9h7d6s straight over Qh8h8c2d trips on a board 9c8s10h6hKc. This brought about heads up with Barer ahead 79 BB to Yurasov’s 38 BB.

Despite Barer’s advantage, it was Yurasov on the attack. Yurasov won a big pot on an uncalled shove on the turn to tighten the gap then followed it up with a double up to switch them up and take a nearly 10:1 lead. Pictured below, Yurasov 10d10c7s2c set, Barer AcKsKhQs top pair on a board 10s5hAh8s7d.

A few minutes later, Barer was still behind roughly 9 BB, the final hand was tabled. All in on the flop, Barer Js7s5c2c, Yurasov Ac9c6h3h, the board completed 10d8d7h4s4c, for a victorious straight and title to Yurasov. For Barer, despite being denied a career first WSOP win, he earned a series high US$ 69,347 to add to his US$ 4+ Million in THM tracked earnings.
