Vladislav Mezheritsky Back for More

[user253757]

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

When we last saw Vladislav Mezheritsky back at the Borgata Winter Poker Open in January, he was engaged to his fiancé Katherine and searching for that life-changing score every poker player dreams about.

After reaching the final table of that series World Poker Tour Main Event Championship, where he finished in 5th place for $213,650, Mezheritsky made one dream come true, and judging by the bling he's sporting on his ring finger here today, another dream was realized this month.

Mezheritsky married his sweetheart in April, and with Katherine upstairs sleeping at the moment, the Russian-born resident of Brooklyn, New York figured he'd "take a shot" in this event. With the season-ending WPT World Championship set to start in two days, Mezheritsky is looking to fine-tune his game in preparation for the big stage he knows so well.

From the look of his chip stack his game is still sharp though, as he currently sits with above the average midway through the day.
