The Poker Masters Returned with Event #6 for Day 2 and Ali Imsirovic was as dangerous as ever. In fact, he definitely managed to make headlines by winning the #6 Event. What\u2019s next down for him is the 2018 Poker Master Event. Let’s first recap on what has happened so far, though.<\/em><\/p>\n To say that Ali didn\u2019t expect the turn of events, such as they were, is an exaggeration. He knew that he was edging close to a victory and his success guaranteed him to capture the back-to-back titles. With his way clear after the elimination of Koray Aldemir<\/strong>, Imsirovic laid his hands on the coveted $799,000<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Aldemir didn\u2019t leave with a much smaller sum, though, successfully adding $517,000<\/strong> to his life-long winnings. It has been quite the competition indeed. Back to Imsirovic, though, the player has definitely pulled off one of his most significant victories in his career. In fact, in this year\u2019s leg of Poker Masters, Imsirovic managed to win over $1.2 million so far, and he\u2019s definitely not going anywhere. It\u2019s worth noting that he has managed to accomplish estimated $2.5 million of total earnings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Imsirovic\u2019s victory also brought him another important asset \u2013 pure competition points which now take him much closers to the desired Purple Jacket<\/strong> \u2013 the ultimate acknowledgement of a player\u2019s personal skill and prowess. Imsirovic is quite the down-to-earth type of chap, too. He is prepared to take on any challenge come what may and he is now working on his strategy for the Main Event. It\u2019s there at the Poker Masters<\/a>\u2019 Main Event that he will truly shine.<\/p>\n Overall, Imsirovic is now ahead of the pack in terms of pure points that would make him the owner of a brand-new Purple Jacket. The standing is as follows:<\/p>\n It\u2019s been quite the game indeed! Much transpired. Imsirovic quickly managed to distinguish himself apart from the competition as he overcame some of the best-established names in poker. Justin Bonomo<\/strong> had the misfortune to end up in sixth place, after Imsirovic met him head-to-head and left him little wriggle room. However, Bonomo\u2019s downfall was inflicted by the runner-up, Aldermir who inflicted the final blow. And yet, Bonomo doesn\u2019t have much to be rueful about as he is one of the players to win the most in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jake Schindler had some trouble of his own and he had to overcome some pretty solid odds right there. It certainly wasn\u2019t easy for him but he managed and he performed quite magnificently, before being finally crushed out of the race in fourth place.<\/p>\n Sam Soverel also fought hard, but he ended up in 5th<\/strong>spot and that was pretty much all there was. With this fairly short account of Event #6 has concluded. Imsirovic still has a long way to go with the Main Event, though, and as he said himself \u201cthe time to party hasn\u2019t quite come yet\u201d. <\/p>\n He is right of course. New challenges lie ahead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Poker Masters Returned with Event #6 for Day 2 and Ali Imsirovic was as dangerous as ever.
