Russian Teams Shine in Daniel Negreanu's $25,000 Poker Draft
Two Russian teams participated in Daniel Negreanu's $25,000 poker draft. The team led by Sergey Rybachenko scored 777 points and won $135,000. The team led by Ilya Gorodetsky and Andrey Zaichenko did not win but secured a significant individual bet against Daniel Negreanu's team.
Ilya Gorodetsky and Andrey Zaichenko's team won a significant individual bet against Daniel Negreanu's team due to a lucky turn of events involving Allen Cunningham, Konstantin Puchkov, and Vladimir Shchemelev. The bet was won when Allen Cunningham, who had a good stack, went all-in with Qx Qx against Ax Ax and soon left the tournament, while Konstantin Puchkov and Vladimir Shchemelev made it into the money, securing the victory for Ilya and Andrey.
Ilya Gorodetsky mentioned that their team had bad luck this year, with key players like Jason Mercier and Vanessa Selbst not performing well. Sergey Rybachenko confirmed that the $25,000 poker draft is one of the most profitable poker events, despite the challenges faced by some teams.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
