WSOP 2022: Aleksejs Ponakovs Denies Phil Ivey His 11th Bracelet In Event #42


Event #42: $100,000 High Roller NLH at the ongoing World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2022 has ended and we have a new winner in Aleksejs Ponakovs. The Latvian player pocketed a massive $1,897,363 as the top prize.

The $100,000 buy-in event saw a player field of 62 entries battling it out for the final prize pool of $5,998,500. The top players at this event cashed a min-cash of $162,623. 

Ponakovs was overjoyed after the win. “I’m really pleased to finally get the bracelet. There is for sure some good stuff happening right now in my head. I will realize later [as it sinks in].” “At first I was really laughing about it, but it really helped in the end,” he said. He also added that the poker world will be seeing a lot more of him soon: “I am getting better and better in life. I am coming for more events,” he added.
