Finishes: Colors & Stains

Koray Aldemir is off to a strong start at the 2024 World Series 💰 of Poker, a rare occurrence for reigning world champions.
Seven months ago, the German poker pro who resides in Austria won 💰 the WSOP Main Event forR$8 million, life-changing money even for a player who was already an accomplished grinder.
At the 2024 💰 WSOP, he's already racked up six cashes, reached two final tables, and entered Friday ranked sixth in the Player of 💰 the Year standings.
On the surface, what Aldemir's accomplished this summer might not seem so incredible or worth mentioning. But when 💰 you consider the past history of Main Event champs and how they performed at the WSOP the following year, you'll 💰 realize how rare his performance has been.
