Florida's Filipp Kavin was on close to zero sleep after flying in to play $5,000 Single Day of the 2026 Poker GO Cup in Las Vegas, but that didn't stop him from taking down the event for $124,525 and his first PGT title.
Kavin, who adds to his $2.5 million in live cashes, earned the career-best score after defeating one of high-stakes poker's hottest pros, Jesse Lonis, who he reached an ICM deal with at the start of heads-up play.
"I've been up for almost 20 hours," Kavin told PokerNews.
