Ali Imsirovic continues his dominance in the High Roller Circuit with the eighth poker tournament victory in 2021
The child is just unstoppable!
Although Ali Imsirovic is one of the youngest regulars on the high roller circuit, he has already earned a place among the very best in the game today.
The 26-year-old regularly beat major buy-in tournaments before the pandemic, but he took his game to another level in 2021, rivaling runs seen in the past by players like Dan Colman, Justin Bonomo, Fedor Wood were, and Bryn Kenney.
The Vancouver, Washington, Washington professional won his eighth title of the year on Saturday night, beating a field of 50 in the PokerGO Cup No-Limit Hold’em event with a buy-in of $ 15,000 for $ 240,000. It was also his second title in just three days, which made him the number one leader in the series.

“That’s what I most wish for in poker, to win this high roller series against really tough competition,” said Imsirovic. “You have to do well in a number of tournaments and there is a lot of variance so of course you have to do well, but these types of series feel a lot more prestigious than anything else I could really win. That means most to me in poker. “
What Ali wants, Ali seems to get.
Imsirovic, who also won the Poker Masters Series rankings in 2018, currently leads the world in the top three statistical categories for tournaments. He has eight wins (no one else has more than three), 17 final tables, and nearly $ 2.8 million in profit. As a result, he now holds a big head start in both the Card Player Player of the Year race and the PokerGO Tour leaderboard.
As impressive as the run was, the other players seem tired of it.

Others have even tried to imitate Imsirovic’s looks in the hopes that wearing one of his signature Dragon Ball Z hoodies could rub off some of the happiness.
Imsirovic didn’t start playing high rollers until 2018, but he’s already made more than $ 12.2 million in his short career. His highest score was $ 1,089,000 for second place at the 2019 Super High Roller Bowl London.
The top professionals Stephen Chidwick, Alex Foxen, Jordan Cristos and the later runner-up Daniel Weinand took part in the final table of this PokerGO Cup event. The last eight players made the money in the tournament and earned a mincash of at least $ 30,000.
