The penultimate day of the Poker Masters Online Series created two more double champions, pushing one of them into contention to create a double of another kind.
Ali Imsirovic was only 23-years-old when he took on the world’s best players and beat them, capturing the Purple Jacket in the 2018 Poker Masters. That was live, and this is online, but after Imsirovic booked his second win of the series after taking down the 51-entrant Event: #27: $25,500 No-Limit Hold ’em, he is one of the favourites heading into the home straight.
It’s the ninth in the money (ITM) finish for the Bosnian, and he’s now earned $1.035m gross during the series. The only player to win more than Imsirovic is the current Championship leader, Artur Martirosian, who still leads despite whiffing both Saturday contests. Imsirovic sits in third place with two events left to run.
Imsirovic beat Elias Talvitie, heads-up, to win the title. You may remember that Talvitie won the opening event, and has earned close to $900,000 through four cashes, making it a decent tournament for the Finnish star.
Alexandros Kolonias took fourth place in the Championship Leaderboard after making money for the tenth time, and Jorryt Van Hoof also made his tenth cash.
Here are the results.

Mustapha Kanit became the second player of the day, and fourth of the series to win two events after beating Matthias Eibinger, heads-up, to bank the £237,732 first prize.
Despite the double win, Kanit isn’t in contention to win the Purple Jacket, but the only man to win two Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB) titles is.
Timothy Adams finished fifth in Event #28, to move into second place on the Championship Leaderboard.
Adams’ 11-cashes is a record.
