“Why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker EVERY YEAR?” argues Mike McDermott (played by Matt Damon) in Rounders. “What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas? It’s a skill game.”

Here we are, some 22 years later, and If you still don’t believe Mike McD that poker is a game of skill then let us introduce you to Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski.

Forget about making headlines once a year, this 28-year-old Brazilian is a mainstay in our daily World Championship of Online Poker updates. And I mean every single day, in every single game.

Dzivielevski has won an incredible three WCOOP titles in the first two weeks of online poker’s most prestigious series, taking his career tally to four. At the time of writing, he’s in second place on both the overall and High WCOOP leaderboards and sits third in the Medium contest.

Andras "probirs" Nemeth raised to 125,000 in the cutoff and was called by "Jedimaster82" on his left. "Ben_Apart" came along with a shove for 191K in the big blind and it was three ways to {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Nemeth check-folded and Ben_Apart saw the bad news as {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} had gone from dominated to almost zero equity against {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Spades}. The {8-Diamonds} turn left them drawing dead and bubbling in 18th place.

"Debilne_Ucho" First to Cash

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

"Debilne_Ucho" potted in the small blind and Andras "probirs" Nemeth defended the big. Debilne_Ucho shoved for 227K on the {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop and Nemeth called.

Nemeth: {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Debilne_Ucho: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Nemeth turned trips on the {6-Hearts}, which meant he had one out to fade. The {q-Clubs} wasn't it.
