Stas Alyokhin Secures 18th Place in WSOP No-Limit Hold'em 6-Max Tournament
Stas Alyokhin finished in 18th place in the WSOP No-Limit Hold'em 6-max tournament, securing $20,117 in prize money. His performance was marked by significant fluctuations in his chip count.
At the start of the second day, Stas Alyokhin had 141,700 chips. One of his notable hands involved a significant pot against Tomislav Gušić, where his chip count reached 230,000. However, his fortunes changed when he was involved in a notable hand against Men 'The Master' Nguyen, where he lost a significant pot with K-9 against Nguyen's K-J.
Despite the setback, Stas Alyokhin managed to maintain a strong position. His final chip count was 380,000, which placed him in a good standing among the remaining players. The tournament continued until the final table or until 3 AM, with blinds set at 5,000/10,000 and an ante of 1,000.

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.
