After competing in the biggest live poker tournament ever held in Russia, Dmitry Chop has won the record-breaking partypoker LIVE Sochi Main Event for $225,000.

 

Don’t worry if you missed the fun in Sochi! It’s only three weeks until the £6m guaranteed partypoker MILLIONS at Dusk Till Dawn. MainEventTravel can help with all your travel needs for this premier event in Nottingham from April 18-23.

 

A dominant force in the last few days of the tournament, Chop beat Lev Mnatskanyan heads-up to seize the $225,000 first prize and has now moved up to 12th place on Ukraine’s all-time money list. Even before the main Event began, Chop was quids in after finishing third in the $3k High Roller for $23,90 but last night’s victory now takes him close to $1m in live tournament winnings.

 

Sochi was the first partypoker LIVE event with EPT founder John Duthie at the helm and proved a resounding success. Watch the new partypoker LIVE President's interview here:
