After starting out with 64 players, one of the most prestigious events in the World Series of Poker is down to its final four in Event #6: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship.
The remaining four players are headlined by former World Series Of Poker bracelet winners Faraz Jaka and Artur Martirosian. Joining them in the semifinals is Nikolai Mamut, and Darius Samual.
Jaka is looking to win his second WSOP bracelet, winning his first in 2023 when he claimed victory in the $1,500 SHOOTOUT No-Limit Hold'em event. Jaka reached the semifinals after making a big comeback on Sam Soverel in the Round of 16, before eliminating Owen Messere in the quarterfinals.
Martirosian, 2023 winner of WSOP Online Bracelet: $10,000 Heads Up NLH Championship, cracked the kings of Cary Katz after he rivered a flush to secure the victory in the Round of 16. He then went on to defeat Pattrick Kennedy in the quarterfinals to clinch his spot in the semifinals.
