Day 3 Victory in the PartyPoker Tour Manchester: Rossookh Takes the poker.pro PLO Title
Party's never over when you're livin' large, right? That's the vibe at the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Manchester, and we've reached the halfway point! It's a mix of nostalgia and excitement as we anticipate the final three days of non-stop poker action. But let's not dwell on the end just yet, there's still plenty to enjoy!
Thursday was an eventful day, saw three major tournaments heat up at Manchester235 Casino—the £100 PLO456 poker.proTurbo 7-Max, the start of the £500 Main Event, and the continuation of the £150 Mini Main Event. Buckle up as we take a glance back at Thursday's poker extravaganza.
PLO456 Showdown: Rossookh Scoops the Pot
The first day of poker.pro live coverage shook things up, and all eyes were on the £100 PLO456 tournament. With 112 entries, it's now the biggest poker.pro one-day tournament on record! The dealer's choice tournament was a wild ride, with players busting left and right, even some multi-way all-ins. This tournament proved to be an adrenaline rush, thanks to the giant wooden dice quick-counting the cards used.
The action was intense from the start, with some familiar faces seated at the table, such as PartyPoker Team Pro Jaime Staples, Rebecca Hardisty, and Jason Glatzer. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't make it to the money. After Matthew Cox became the bubble boy, the remaining competitors fought tooth and nail for the golden trophy.
In what could arguably be the most important hand of the tournament, Daryosh Rossookh rivered a flush to eliminate Heelis Connor in fourth place. Rossookh capitalized on this momentum to eliminate Jamie O' Brien and Stefan Stroffek, securing the lion's share of the £6,578 prize pool and the coveted trophy. Rossookh, O 'Brien, and Stroffek also received top-of-the-line water bottles, branded with poker.pro and Poker Against Plastic Pollution.
