Ukraine's Match Poker Team Wins World Championship Again

The Ukrainian match poker team has successfully defended their World Championship title. The award ceremony was held at the Olympic Stadium in Ukraine. The competition was held online due to the coronavirus epidemic. The Ukrainian team defeated 11 other teams to win the championship.

Sergey Efimenko, President of the All-Ukrainian Federation of Sports Poker, highlighted the significance of the team's victory. He said, "We confirmed the title of champions and this triumph is very important for us. A year ago we came to Dublin as debutants, and this year we already came as acting champions. It is much harder to confirm your championship than to win it for the first time."

Each member of the Ukrainian team received a gold medal and a prize of 25,000 hryvnias. The Ukrainian team members are Anna Mazno, Artem Kobylyns'kyi, Andriy Lyubovetsky, Mykhailo Hutyi, Renat Bogdanov, Mykhailo Kobylyns'kyi, Andriy Momot, Volodymyr Drokin, and Mykhailo Kedrovsky. Mykhailo Hutyi was named the best player of the tournament.
