Turkish entrepreneur Orpen Kisacikoglu may not be a professional poker player, but you would never know that from looking at his tournament resume. He has accumulated over $15.1 million in recorded earnings across 97 cashes, with seven titles won including a World Series of Poker bracelet.
The 540 Card Player Player of the Year points he secured after dragging the final pot in this event were enough to move him into 33rd place in the 2023 standings presented by Global Poker. He has made nine final tables and won three titles so far this year, with more than $4.2 million in earnings accrued along the way. Kisacikoglu also scored 219 PokerGO Tour points for the win, moving into sixth place in the race for this year's Poker Masters Purple Jacket as a result.
The top 14 finishers made the money in this event, each earning a share of the $950,000 in total prize money. The second and final day of play began with just seven players remaining, with Kisacikoglu in the lead and event no. 4 champion Chino Rheem hot on his heels.
