UFC KO Poker Series finale features "joker10_kz" and "3DTemujiN" as participants.
In a thrilling turn of events, two Kazakhstani poker players, Jaken "joker10_kz" and Shyngys "3DTemujiN", made it to the final table of the $2,100 buy-in event in the UFC KO Poker Series on PokerStars.
The tournament, which attracted 75 entrants and 27 re-entries, surpassed its guarantee of $150K, reaching a total prize pool of $204K.
Jaken, who previously won a hyper-turbo tournament with a $11 buy-in, was the chip leader at the final table, while Shyngys was in 7th place. However, it was a tough battle for both players.
In the Top 6, Jaken raised with a pair of fours, and Shyngys pushed his last 5 blinds with a suited ace-six. Jaken called and won the pot, resulting in Shyngys taking home $7.7K, including knockouts.
Shyngys survived three all-ins during the tournament, a testament to his resilience. Interestingly, Shyngys didn't receive cards for the first 15 minutes of the tournament due to the turbo format, and his stack significantly decreased.
Despite the early setback, Shyngys bounced back, demonstrating his poker skills. On the other hand, Jaken's performance was consistent, earning him a 5th place finish and $19K including bounties.
Interestingly, just three days ago, Shyngys won $11K in the Daily Supersonic tournament with a $530 buy-in. Jaken also performed well in the Turbo Series, earning over $30K.
It's worth noting that, while search results mention Kazakh fighters' performances in UFC MMA events, there is no documented information in the current search results about Kazakh poker players or their performance in the UFC KO Poker Series or other online PokerStars events. For detailed data on Kazakh players in poker tournaments, specialized poker databases, PokerStars official results, or poker news sources would likely be more informative.
This exciting final table finish by Jaken and Shyngys is a testament to the growing talent and popularity of poker in Kazakhstan. As they continue to excel in the world of online poker, it will be interesting to see how they fare in future tournaments.
After an exciting poker tournament, Jaken and Shyngys, two Kazakhstani players, decided to take a break from their high-tech gadgets and step away from the world of technology to turn around and delve into the world of sports. Perhaps they'll find a new passion in sports, just as they've found success in poker.
