Safiya Umerova is Here to Defend Her Title!
Tracking a tournament would definitely not be as fun if there were no defending champion in the field.
Safiya Umerova took this event down last year, besting a field of 1,050 entries for a total prize pool worth $1,417,500. First place awarded her with $264,046 after she defeated Niall Farrell in an epic heads-up battle. She climbed her way back from being down 4-to-1 in chips and took the whole thing down.
Umerova is back today and has already chipped up. She has her game-face on, so keep following along to see if she can be the second back-to-back title winner!
