Dzmitry Urbanovich Takes Down Event #4: $10,200 8-Game
Dzmitry Urbanovich won Event #4: $10,200 8-Game after beating Daniel Negreanu to top a 56- player strong field. The Polish crusher won $179,200, racking up his fourth final table of the year and first cash since the 2023 WSOP.
Urbanovich started the day as an underdog , fourth out of six, but a massive heater during the Razz round set him up to pull off an unlikely victory.
Negreanu almost sealed the deal right after heads-up play started but Urbanovich rivered a straight in PLO to give him a lead he would not lose for the rest of the event.
