Maxim Sekretarev Wins WPT Russia 2021 Main Event
Maxim Sekretarev won the WPT Russia 2021 Main Event, securing a prize of 171,380$ and the championship cup. The tournament, held at Casino Sochi, had a buy-in of 3,500$ and attracted 251 entries, forming a prize pool of 774,960$.
Sekretarev's victory is historic as he became the youngest poker player to win the WPT Russia cup. He is also the second youngest champion in World Poker Tour history. The final table included eight Russians and one Serbian player, Vladimir Bожinovich. The final hand saw Sekretarev win with K♥-Q♣ against Volkov's 8♦-10♦.
Alexander Volkov finished as the runner-up, earning 114,260$. Other notable finishers include Ravil Hamatgareev in third place with 83,430$, and Vanush Mnatsakanyan in fifth place with 46,420$. The tournament's bubble boy was Aleksey Badulin, the champion of the previous year's Main Event.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
