Mikita Badziakouski Leads WPTWOC High Roller Championship Final Table on September 22, 2020 0 Comments The final table of the $25,500 buy-in WPT High Roller Championship is set and what a final table it is.
After three days of play, partypoker Team Pro Mikita Badziakouski added another seven-figure haul to his poker resume by taking down the 2020 WPT World Online Championships (WPTWOC) at partypoker for $1,062,730 after agreeing to a heads-up deal with fellow partypoker Team Pro Jason Koon.
Badziakouski needs no introduction to the poker world with nearly $28.5 million in live tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob. Despite an impressive resume, especially in high roller events, Badziakouski didn't have a WPT title to add to his resume until now.
The Belarussian, who was waving a Slovenian flag during the event, faced a tough final table as can be expected for a $25,500 buy-in event. In addition to Koon, Badziakouski had to also face the likes of Greece's Alexandros Kolonias, Lebanon's Mark Demirjian, Austria's Daniel Rezaei, Russia's Aleksei Barkov, and Almedin Imsirovic.

Final Table Recap
The final table began with Badziakouski holding the chip lead. The British duo of James Dempsey and Henry Kilbane commentated on the action with hole cards exposed on a delay at the partypoker Twitch and YouTube channels.
Imsirovic headed to the final table with the shortest stack and was the first player eliminated.
The situation was different for the second player eliminated with Barkov coming into the final table with the second biggest stack only to hit the rail in sixth place. The Russian's final stand came when he jammed king-five suited unsuccessfully into the sixes held by Kolonias in a blind vs. blind situation.
Next to go were two of the shorter stacks to start the final table with Demirjian taking fourth place and Rezaei settling for fifth place.
Time then ran out for Kolonias. He three-bet jammed treys into the aces held by Badziakouski to hit the showers in third place for a healthy $548,794 prize.
At this point, Badziakouski had a more than an 8:1 chip advantage against Koon. The original plan was for both players to be guaranteed a $779,139 payout with the winner going home with $1,094,460.
Instead of playing it out, the duo agreed to a deal giving Koon and extra $31,000 for a $810,869 payout for second place while still rewarding Badziakouski a huge payout north of $1 million.

He surpassed John Juanda in the all-time money list on Tuesday evening as he won Event #9 of the British Poker Open, and Mikita Badziakouski caught up with Remko Rinkema after winning to explain a little about his recent rise in tournament poker legend. He started with the feeling of winning his first British Poker Open event.
“It was a nice tournament,” said the Belarussian, “You’re always happy when you’re winning because you get into the end of the tournament. It means that you like experienced every single stage and I loved it.”

Badziakouski’s enthusiasm is only matched by his recent success. Put simply, the Belarussian player is a phenomenon. Possibly the least well-known of the players at the upper limits of the all-time money list, Badziakouski has won more money in poker tournaments than either Scott Seiver, Phil Hellmuth or the aforementioned Juanda. He’s a million shy of overtaking the great Phil Ivey.
“The money part is definitely more important. I’m always going to focus more on EV and the rest is fun. but I love to have that feeling of winning.”
With so much success, motivation could be an issue, but as the young man who isn’t yet 28 explains, although it’s very tough competing against such talented high rollers, he maintains his hunger.
“Some people might be increasing their skills faster than I do now but I’m still trying. I like the feeling of being in the top group of players and I’ve been in poker for 10 years. That’s what I’m doing in my life and that motivates me – I want to do it like in the best possible way.”
Still younger than many other top-level pros, Badziakouski feels like he has the physical and mental strength to go hard at the top level of the game for the next few years.
I feel like I’m definitely giving myself time, at least until I’m 30 and I still have two and a half years. I’m fine with grinding more; it really depends on my financial situation and how I feel about it. I’m enjoying it.”
Badziakouski hails from Belarus, but rarely get to play when his family and friends are around him. He – and they – appreciate the PokerGO streams more than most, and they get to experience a little of the adrenaline he does whenever their hero is on screen.
“They really support me and they enjoy the ‘sweat’. For us for poker players, we know all this, gambling has become so regular that you’re constantly getting this adrenaline. But for the people that are not involved, those are nice emotions to feel. I’m glad that they actually get to watch the streams and I’m happy to share my success with them.”
Badziakouski may be a hero to many poker fans, as he is to his family and friends, but to many in Belarus, he’s just a regular person going about his normal job. It seems to suit the modest man who has just won the lion’s share of half a million British pounds.
