The $10,200 No-Limit Hold'em was one of the final opportunities to win a trophy at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus, and nobody wanted it more than Mikalai Vaskaboinikau.
Vaskaboinikau has been on a heater this year, taking down a Triton event for $4,737,000 in May worth more than half of his total live tournament winnings. Here at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa, the hot run continued. Vaskaboinikau claimed his first ever PokerStars Shard earlier in the series, winning the $50,000 Super High Roller for $601,397.
One week later, Vaskaboinikau was sitting on a final table once again and up against some of the top talent from around the world, looking for yet another trophy to add to his collection.
As soon as Ren Lin was eliminated in third place, Vaskaboinikau made a heads-up deal with Krasimir Neychev and, despite having a dominant chip lead, was happy to propose a 50-50 split of the prize money on one condition; he would be declared the winner and would walk away with the PokerStars Spade to add to his collection.
His opponent immediately obliged. Vaskaboinikau and Neychev both walked away with $195,500 for first and second place, while Vaskaboinikau was crowned the champion.
"I really wanted the trophy; this is my first Spade," said Vaskaboinikau. "These trophies are where you get proud of yourself, right?! I said [earlier in the series], we have two kids, and the third is coming, so I need the third trophy - and I've got it already here!"

Final Day Action
Including a handful of max-late registrations, the event attracted 87 entries to make a prize pool of $843,900. Of those, 57 were sat down at the start of Day 2 to battle it out for the top 11 paid spots.
Being a turbo tournament, intense action was expected from the onset. At least ten players hit the rail during the first level of play, with dozens more to follow before the first break.
During this time, Ren Lin had accumulated a decent stack when he put Roman Hrabec under pressure and continued to show aggression all the way to the final table.
Vaskaboinikau was also building a mountain of chips, although it was Day 1 chip leader Farid Jattin who had maintained his lead after the first break. Vaskaboinikau then solidified his chip lead when his ace-king held to eliminate Aren Bezhanyan.
Action slowed down as the bubble approached and Adrian Mateos proved why he's one of the best in the world when he made a huge hero-call with fourth pair to send Gregoire Auzoux packing.
When all was said and done, it was a classic race that burst the bubble as Krasimir Neychev's ace-king cracked Tomas Jozonis' queens.
The bust-outs continued to come fast, and Mateos was first to be eliminated in the money when Vaskaboinikau got the better of him to keep his chip stack healthy heading into the final table.
Lin, Neychev and Vaskaboinikau continued to journey to the top of the pack as they scored respective eliminations on the final table while Jattin lost most of his chips after shoving all in and getting called by Lin, who won the pot to double his stack. Lin eliminated Jattin moments later, and the tournament went three-handed.
Vaskaboinikau then won a big pot with a flush against Lin before winning a flip moments later to send Lin out in third place for $109,500.
Heads-Up Deal Made
Immediately after Lin was eliminated, Vaskaboinikau suggested a deal. At this point, he had more than twice the chip count of his opponent Neychev but was happy to take a 50-50 split. All he asked was for the trophy to be his. The competition, success, and winning trophies, after all, are most of his motivations for playing.
Neychev happily obliged and both players walked away with $195,500. Vaskaboinikau was declared the champion and proudly picked up his Spade, his second trophy of the series and third, including Triton, to match his third child, who is on the way.
"It feels amazing! For ten years, no trophies, and now two in a row. The poker gods were really nice to me, and sometimes all the luck comes together!" said Vaskaboinikau.
Congratulations to Mikalai Vaskaboinikau on winning two events at EPT Cyprus, a rare accomplishment that the online businessman will be proud of. His trophies will now be on display for loved ones and guests to see at his home.

- When keeping track of several cards, employing visual aids or mnemonic devices can also strengthen memory recall. Resource Management Overview. In Rummy, the secret to effective resource management is realizing how important flexibility and adaptability are. 25-02-26
- The offensive approach. Players should concentrate on creating melds as fast as they can while keeping their hands flexible when playing offensively. This entails searching for runs and sets that could be finished with few extra cards. Holding onto a 5 of diamonds, for example, can help you finish a run if you have a 3 and 4 of diamonds. 25-02-26
- Melds can either be runs or sets. Three or four cards of the same rank but different suits make up a set; for example, three 7s. Conversely, a run is a group of three or more cards in the same suit, such as the 4, 5, and 6 of hearts. 25-02-26
- Time Your Actions. Timing your moves is another crucial component of strategy. Knowing when to knock is essential because if your opponents have successfully melded, knocking too early could give you high-point cards that could cost you the game. 25-02-26
- Two crucial Rummy strategies that can greatly increase the value of your hand & your winnings are melting & laying off. When you lay off, you add cards from your hand to already-existing melds on the table, whereas when you melt, you place valid sets or runs on the table during your turn. In order to minimize point loss when another player goes out, both strategies can help you hold fewer unmelded cards. Players should seek out chances to lay off cards on their own melds or those made by opponents in order to make the most of their hand. 25-02-26
- Consider the ramifications of discarding a joker as well, as it might allow your opponents to use it in their own melds. As a result, it's usually a good idea to monitor which cards have been discarded & how they might affect the hands of your opponents. Also, knowing when to use your wild cards can have a big impact on how the game turns out. Using a wild card strategically can help you hit your melds if you are on the verge of going out but are missing one card. Playing a wild card, however, can give your opponents the impression that you are about to win, which could make them play more defensively. 25-02-26
- awareness of defense. Keeping an eye on what your opponents are drawing & discarding is crucial for defensive play. It might make sense to discard cards that are less likely to assist an opponent if you observe that they are selecting cards that have the potential to complete a meld. An opponent may unintentionally help them form a set if they discard an additional 8 after they have already taken two 8s from the discard pile. 25-02-26
- Rummy Go's basic rules must be understood before one can appreciate it to the fullest. Each player usually receives a set number of cards at the start of the game—typically ten—while the remaining cards make up the draw pile. To create the discard pile, the top card from the draw pile is positioned face-up. In order to create legitimate combinations, or melds, players alternately draw cards from the draw or discard pile. 25-02-26
- Your own decisions regarding which cards to keep or discard can be guided by this information. Also, you can learn more about a player's hand strength by counting the number of turns they take without going out. An opponent may be having trouble with high-value unmelded cards or just waiting for certain draws if they haven't melded any cards in several rounds. You can modify your approach based on this information, possibly playing more aggressively or concentrating on defensive discards that impede their advancement. The key to success in rummy is knowing when to end a round or continue playing aggressively. 25-02-26
