Week 19 - Russian players win three consecutive championships

The 19th week of MTT SPORTS concluded successfully amid fierce competition.

The total number of players who have joined MTT SPORTS has now reached 520,000! This week the number of participants is 23,000. The total prize pool for each weekly tournament is 1 BTC (approximately 100,000 US dollars) and a large number of MTT tokens. As of February 11, 2025, MTT SPORTS has successfully held nineteen weeks of competitions, has given away 19 bitcoins, and is about to send out this week's bitcoin rewards.

This week, the Russian player "Monolit86" won the championship! "Happy.X:)" from Thailand and "Lujing" from Hong Kong won the second and third place.

Russia made history again! Following Taiwan's three consecutive championships, "Monolit86" won the championship trophy with precise chip operation. This is not only a personal moment of glory. "Monolit86" is also the second female player to win the championship. This also marks the first time that Russia has won three consecutive championships in the MTT SPORTS weekly competition. The championship trophies in the previous two weeks were won by Russian players "Vrayr" and "Drovosek", respectively, demonstrating the dominance of Russian players in the poker arena.

In this week's event, Thai player "Happy.X:)" returned to the top three with a runner-up result, continuing the traditional advantage of Thai players in this event - Thai players have ranked in the top three of the weekly competition twelve times in total. The third place of Hong Kong player "Lujing" is particularly precious. Although Hong Kong won the championship in the first week, the subsequent performance was relatively quiet. This is the first time that Hong Kong has been on the podium again after winning the championship in the first week. This breakthrough may become a turning point for the revitalization of poker competition in Hong Kong.

In this week's competition, the Mexican player "José Juan Gmz", who had attracted much attention before the game, suffered an unexpected Waterloo. The 13th week champion took the initiative to attack when he was in a disadvantageous position and challenged the Thai player "llDIAMONDzll" who had slightly higher points than him. This aggressive move eventually led to his elimination and he stopped at 103rd place.
