Russian player wins PGT tournament in Las Vegas
Sergey Kislinsky continues to have a stellar autumn. Earlier the Russian player won two WSOP Online bracelets, and now he has added his first PokerGO Tour title to his collection. He won the fourth event of the PGT Sprint series with a $5,300 buy-in, which drew 57 entries.
At the final table Kislinsky got past World Series champions Sam Soverel, Andrew Lichtenberger and Joe McKeehen. In the heads-up the Russian faced Brandon Sunshine. The American had a solid chip lead, but he lost it after a cooler. Sunshine with top two pair ran into Kislinsky's flopped straight, which held up on the later streets.
In the final hand Sunshine shoved with K♠️9♥️ and Kislinsky called with A♣️10♥️. On the A♥️Q♠️9♠️ flop both players paired up, but the Russian's hand was better. The 6♠️ on the turn gave the American a flush draw, but the blank 2♦️ river sealed Kislinsky's victory.
Brandon Sunshine received $57,000 for second place. Sergey Kislinsky earned $91,200, recording his best cash. The Russian's previous personal record came in 2024, when he banked $78,750 for second place in the PGT Kickoff. Kislinsky's career winnings now exceed $1.1 million.
