Some wins make noise — others carry weight. At Merit Royal Diamond, Andrey Pateychuk claimed the Merit Poker Cup title, closing out a composed two-day run to secure the trophy and $50,000 top prize.
A familiar face on the Merit circuit, Pateychuk has been part of these festivals for years, consistently returning to compete at the highest level. This time, everything came together. Navigating the later stages with confidence and control, he turned a deep run into a long-awaited result — marking his first live title in several years.
Adding to the moment, this stop at the Carmen Series has been more than just poker. Sharing the trip with family, the experience goes beyond the tables, making the victory even more meaningful.
A well-earned win for one of the circuit’s regulars — congratulations to Andrey Pateychuk.
