In a heads-up, Artem outplayed one of the best MTT players Simon "C Darwin2" Mattsson. The Finnish pro Samuel “€urop€an” Woodson also played in the finale.
2 re-entries were available in the tournament. Vezhenkov used one of them, because he busted out of the tournament almost at the beginning of the event – in 492nd place. And it wasn’t in vain.
Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov is not a newcomer to the winner's circle, as he won Sunday Million three times in his impressive career. Artem is a pretty successful regular player and one of the top MTT professionals in the world. In total, he has more than 300 first places in various online tournaments and over $9 350 000 won in online MTT. The winning of $457 300 which he got for the 1st place at PokerStars High Rollers Main Event became the biggest victory for the player.
