Online Qualifier Wins WSOP Super Circuit Main Event as Festival Overlays Significantly

Vito Branciforte

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Super Circuit Rozvadov has wrapped up in the Czech Republic. While the players who walked away with coveted WSOPC rings and bankroll-boosting prizes are celebrating, the organizers will be looking at future scheduling due to almost every ring-awarding event overlaying.

WSOP Super Circuit Rozvadov’s schedule clashed with a couple of other high-profile WSOPC events. The inaugural WSOP Super Circuit Madrid ran alongside much of the Rozvadov series, and the WSOP Super Circuit UK, which is still ongoing, is taking place at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.

King’s Resort hardly ever experiences overlays on its major tournament, but it was left nursing a potential seven-figure worth of missed guarantees during this festival. Of the 13 ring events featuring a guarantee, 12 overlaid, including almost half a million euros deficit in the €3,000 WSOP Super Circuit Main Event, which guaranteed €2 million.

Additionally, there are no results for the €5,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha ring event, suggesting that it may have been canceled due to a lack of interest.

It appears that having so many European WSOP Super Circuit events taking place in quick succession cannibalized each other.

Online Qualifier Secures a €370,000 Prize

It wasn’t all doom and gloom at King’s Resort, especially not for Italian Vito Branciforte, who will forever be known as the Main Event’s champion. Branciforte, who PokerNews has learned lives in Germany, won his €3,000 WSOP Super Circuit Rozvadov Main Event seat online at GGPoker. That satellite win is now worth €370,000, and a place in the WSOPC record books.

The €2 million guaranteed Main Event saw 505 entries, resulting in a €485,000 overlay before staffing costs were deducted from the buy-in. That meant significant value was added to the money places, as the tournament needed another 323 entries to hit the promised amount.

By the time the final table was reached, €25,000 was the least anyone could take home. That is the sum Berhane Yoseph collected after busting in ninth place. Prior to this score, Yoseph had lifetime earnings of $13,193.

Romania’s Mousa Awad also secured a career-best score, one weighing in at €33,000, for his eighth-place finish.

Argentina’s Santiago Romero (7th – €44,000) and Israel’s Maor Zaharagi (6th – €59,500) were the next to fall. Zaharagi previously finished second at King’s Resort, where he finished second in a €1,100 WSOPC Main Event in 2024 for €108,550.

Fifth place and €85,000 went to Ilia Krupin before Aleksandrs Zenkovs, who earlier in the festival won the €500 King’s GCOP event for €20,300, was eliminated in fourth, a finish good for €120,000.

Heads-up was set when Mohsen Borhani crashed out in third. Borhani banked €171,000, a prize worth more than 10 times his previous live earnings combined. Here, Branciforte defeated Poland’s Stanislaw Miadzel to claim the €370,000 top prize and resign the runner-up to a career-best €245,000 consolation prize.

More Big Guarantees at Kings in November

King’s Resort is not a venue that does things by halves, and it is already hosting another €1 million guaranteed tournament. The WOLF Millionaire started on November 11 and continues until November 16. The €350 buy-in Main Event carries a €1 million guarantee on its prize pool.

The latest edition of the German Poker Masters follows hot on the heels of the WOLF Millionaire. It runs November 20-30 and includes a €1 million guaranteed Main Event costing only €285 to enter.
