'Seventh Time's the Charm' for Damjan Radanov in CMSOP $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. Championship
Damjan Radanov made six deep runs in the past month in various tournaments throughout Las Vegas, including finishing runner-up in the 2025 Chainsaw Mixed Series of Poker (CMSOP) $600 Limit Omaha 8 or Better/Stud 8 or Better Championship last month. Today, Radanov saw victory at Planet Hollywood as he defeated heads-up opponent Dean Joe in the CMSOP $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. Championship to win $16,479.
"Seventh time's the charm," he told PokerNews in a winner's interview. "Last month I had a run, it was like six final tables."
Radanov, a mixed games and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) specialist who fittingly won with seven cards during a game of Stud Hi-Lo, bested an esteemed final table that included seven-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Josh Arieh (7th - $2,551) and 2023 Global Poker Index (GPI) Mid-Major Player of the Year Nick Pupillo (5th - $3,747), who also had a final table appearance in last night's $1,100 Omaha 8 or Better Championship.
