The year is coming to a close, but not before a final flurry of poker champions etch their names in the history books. This week’s round-up of big winners features some familiar names, rising stars, and one of Britain’s best. So, to see how Emil Bise, Gediminas Uselis, Andy Moc, and others boosted their bankrolls, scroll down for CardsChat’s Big Winners of the Week ending Dec. 5. (Image: WPT) Gediminas Uselis
WPT Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Main Event Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
$778,490
Lithuanian pro Uselis has been on a roll since winning his first WSOP title in August 2020. Already the owner of a WSOP Circuit ring, Uselis won the WSOP Online Forty Stack last year for $227,186. That win set him on the road to bigger and better things and, in October, he won Event #27 of the DeepStack Championship in Las Vegas. The $325,428 payday meant Uselis could ante up in the $3,500 Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open with plenty of cash left over. With a field of 1,566 entrants in Hollywood, Florida whittled down to just six, Uselis rose up from the middle of pack to eliminate two players during Tuesday’s final. That surge allowed him to seal the deal, pick up his first WPT title, and bank the biggest prize of his career.

GUKPT Grand Final Main Event Grosvenor London
£265,350
($351,778)
Moc brought the GUKPT to a glorious conclusion on Sunday by taking down the biggest event of the season. Grosvenor took its flagship tour back out on the road this summer after the UK lifted all COVID restrictions. Poker players anted up in droves, and that trend continued in last week’s £1,800 ($2,390) season finale. A total of 607 entries pushed the prize pool to more than £1 million ($1.3million), making it the largest GUKPT Grand Final ever. Even better for Moc, claiming his first GUKPT title also brought him the biggest payday of his career.
