Ustimov won $110,380 for his second-place finish. The winner of the tournament was a Brazilian player with the nickname gusmaa, who earned $142,470 for their victory. Another notable performance came from Russian player Arthur Martirosyan, known as mararthur1, who finished 14th and won $11,879.

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.
