WSOPC Cyprus: Ognyan Dimov Adds to His Impressive Title Collection, Rings Also Won by Quevedo and Sly

Mini Main Event Dominated by Spain's Quevedo
 

Event #3: 2,200$ Mini Main Event NLH drew a massive turnout of 1,257 entries in Cyprus, resulting in a prize pool exceeding 2.5 million dollars. After three days of intense play, Spain's Govea Quevedo emerged victorious, pocketing 375,000$, a WSOPC gold ring, and a 5,000$ package for WSOP Paradise 2025. For Quevedo, this triumph marked a career-defining win, having previously never won more than 10,000$ in a tournament.

In a dramatic heads-up, Quevedo defeated Russia's Alexander Chernikov, stopping the Russian players from claiming the first three events. Nariman Yaghmai from Iran rounded out the top three. The final table featured players from eight different countries across three continents, showcasing the event's international appeal and the diversity of the player field.

Ognyan Dimov Adds His First WSOPC Ring to His WSOP Bracelet
 

The popular Event #5: 3,300$ Mystery Bounty NLH saw 980 entries, which generated a lucrative prize pool and nearly a million in bounty prizes. After two days of competition, Ognyan Dimov from Bulgaria claimed the title, a WSOPC ring, and a 305,000$ prize. He also secured a 5,000$ WSOP Paradise package.

The Bulgarian pro enhanced his impressive array of titles with this win. Dimov has previously won a WSOP bracelet, with titles from the WPT, Triton, and PCA, and he conquered the Main Event at EPT Deauville in 2015. In heads-up action, Dimov defeated Italy's Spataro, marking a career highlight for the latter.

Christopher Sly Triumphs in PLO Super High Roller
 

The sixth event of the series, the 26,000$ Pot Limit Omaha – Super High Roller, presented a stark contrast to the massive fields of the previous events. With only 11 entries, the prestigious two-day tournament generated a prize pool of 266,750$. Given the low turnout, players needed to advance to heads-up play to secure a payout.

After two days of play, Christopher Sly claimed the title and his WSOPC ring, earning 173,000$ and a 5,000$ WSOP Paradise package. German Daniel Perkusic finished as runner-up, adding to his WSOP bracelet from 2024, though he missed out on his first ring, taking home 93,750$.
