Ilyas Muradi is the first player to win a live World Poker Tour main tour title since the COVID-19 outbreak began in 2020. Muradi reportedly missed a flight out of town and decided to take a shot at a $400 buy-in satellite into the $3,500 buy-in WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open no-limit hold’em main event. He won a seat into the event and managed to navigate his way through the 1,573-entry field to secure his first WPT title and the top prize of $809,515.

“This is amazing, it’s making me want to cry,” Muradi told WPT reporters after coming out on top. “Anyone’s dream can come true.”

In addition to the title and money, Muradi was also awarded 1,620 Card Player Player of the Year points as the champion of this event. That was enough to see him surge into first place in the 2021 POY race standings, which are sponsored by Global Poker.

This event featured a $1,000,000 guarantee which was absolutely blown away when 1,573 entries were made across the two starting flights. The top 197 finishers ultimately made the money in this event, with a min-cash being worth $6,150. The top eight finishers in the tournament all earned six-figure paydays. Four-time WPT main event champion Darren Elias fell just short of extending his advantage as the tour’s all-time
title leader, finishing 10th for $79,455.

The final day of action in this event resumed with seven players remaining. 2013 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open main event champion Andy Hwang was the first to fall when his A-K failed to outrun the pocket sevens of Francis Margaglione. Hwang earned $115,630 for his seventh-place finish.

Tsz Shing was the next to hit the rail. He ran K-Q into the pocket queens of WSOP bracelet winner Ronnie Bardah and failed to come from behind. He took home $168,990 for his sixth-place showing. Bardah scored his second knockout of the day with another big pocket pair. This time he picked up pocket kings against the pocket tens of Jesse Lonis. The superior pair remained the best hand through the river and Lonis settled for $223,895 as the fifth-place finisher.

Bardah held the lead during early four-handed action until a key hand arose that shifted the balance at the final table. Bardah and Muradi were heads-up in a three-bet pot with a flop of 532. Bardah checked and Muradi bet 1,550,000. Bardah check-raised all-in and Muradi called for 9,150,000. Muradi held AA, while Bardah showed KQ for a flush draw. The 4 on the turn and 10 on the river kept Muradi’s aces in the lead and he doubled up to climb to the top of the leaderboard.

Francis Margaglione spent much of the day as one of the big stacks but saw his chips dwindle during short-handed play. In the end, he got all-in with Q9 and was called by Bardah with AK. Bardah made a pair of aces on the flop and held from there to send Margaglione home with $293,510 for his fourth-place finish.

Bardah’s run in this event came to an end when he got his last 13 big blinds into the middle from the small blind with A2. Robel Andemichael called with A9. The board came down K42109 and Bardah was eliminated in third place ($392,430). This was the largest tournament cash of Bardah’s career, and it brought his lifetime earnings to just shy of $1.7 million.

With that Andemichael took a slight lead into heads-up play with Muradi. The roles were quickly reversed, and Muradi was able to extend his lead to nearly a 2:1 chip advantage by the time the final hand of the tournament was dealt. Andemichael moved all-in from the button with A6 and Muradi called from the big blind with 44. The 10983Q runout secured the pot and the title for Muradi, while Andemichael took home $529,690 as the runner-up.

Here is a look at the payouts and POY points awarded at the final table:

1	Ilyas Muradi	$809,515	1,620

Dan Shak will head into the final table of the WPT Montreal $3,200 Main Event at partypoker with the chip lead after three days of play.

Shak needs little introduction to the poker world as he has been getting it done for many years and has amassed nearly $11 million in cashes.

The American, who is playing at partypoker under a Canadian flag, has managed many huge results but like the other eight players at the final table has yet to earn his membership into the exclusive WPT Champions Club reserved for players winning a WPT Main Event.

That being said, Shak has found success at the WPT in the past including winning the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha for $119,600 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas in December 2019.

Shak's chip lead is anything but secure with Rayan Chamas, Andrei Kriazhev, and Jack Hardcastle very close on his tail. Also in the mix are Charles Chattha, Day 2 chip leader Felix Schulze, Marcel Kunze, Jakob Miegel, and Upeshka De Silva.

Day 3 Recap

The WPT Montreal Main Event attracted 888 entrants during two opening flights to generate a massive $2,664,000 prize pool with 133 players advancing to Day 2. Day 2 witnessed the field trimmed down to just 23 hopefuls to start yesterday's Day 3.

Belgian poker pro and tournament director Kenny Hallaert was the first player eliminated on Day 3 in 23rd place for $18,401. Also eliminated during the first blind level of the day to collect the same payday as Hallaert were 2013 WSOP Main Event champion and WPT Champion Club member Ryan Riess, Rok Gostisa, and Alexandr Merzhvinskiy.

A short while later, Daniel Koloszar, Ioannis Angelou-Konstas, Chris Moorman, and Christian Rudolph all hit the rail to give the final 15 players a pay boost.

Ole Schemion, Diego Ventura, and Aliaksandr Hirs were the next batch of players eliminated before one of the biggest hands of the event took place.

According to the WPT Blog, Andrei Kriazhev opened with cowboys and was called by Jan-Eric Schwippert with jacks before Jack Hardcastle squeezed with snowmen. All three players got their chips in the pot with Kriazhev having both of his opponents covered and Hardcastle coming in as the short stack.

It appeared likely that Hardcastle and Schwippert would both hit the rail but that wasn't the case for Hardcastle who instead temporarily snagged the chip lead after an eight came on the board to give him a set.

A short while later, Dan Shak padded his chip count while sending Artur Martirosian packing in 11th place for $28,147 after the duo got it in both holding a flush before capturing the chip lead in a hand sick later where Schulze made the correct fold with broadway against Shak's full house.

The day ended after Pablo Brito Silva got short on chips when he ran into the quads held by Marcel Kunze and dusted off his small stack shortly after to bubble the final table in 10th place.
