In a thrilling final filled with twists and turns, Ukrainian player Yakiv Syzghanov emerged victorious, securing the coveted WPT Prime Aix-en-Provence title and a substantial �133,000 in prize money. The event attracted an impressive field of 758 entrants, contributing to a total prize pool of �727,680.

Initially holding the chip leader position, Laurent Michot faced a determined Syzghanov who turned the tide in his favor. Syzghanov had to battle until the end, ultimately clinching victory with a full house in the final hand of heads-up. Michot secured a respectable second place, earning �82,000.

Syzghanov, a familiar face at Rozvadov's tables and the French circuit celebrated his first major tournament win. Describing the victory as "life-changing," he also earned a ticket for the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, valued at $10,400, fulfilling his dream of competing in Las Vegas.

The final table featured strong competitors, including Quebecer Fr��d��ric Normand (3rd place, �61,000) and Team Pro PMU Poker's Dylan Cechowski (4th place, �45,000). Normand continued his momentum from an exceptional 2023, securing a WPT major title and another victory in a WPT World Championship side event at the Wynn in December.
