It took just twelve hours, but Daniel Rezaei is a WSOP champion after triumphing in Event #4: $50,000 NLH High Roller Turbo.
He topped a 151-player field, denying Mustapha Kanit what would also have been a maiden victory for the Italian.
The rapid-fire victory also saw Triton Poker Series co-founder Paul Phua record his first WSOP final table since his bracelet victory back in 2022.

Action-Packed and Rapid-Fire
The only one-day event at the 2025 WSOP Paradise Festival was always going to be a quick one. A field of 151 players was quickly assembled, featuring the likes of five-time WSOP bracelet winner Adrian Mateos, online poker legend Viktor Blom and high roller stalwarts like Mikita Badziakouski.
As the field dwindled, Michael Moncek hit the front, making the most of his seven bullets in the event, and by 10 p.m. there were half a dozen places between the remaining players and the money.
The unfortunate bubble boy was Dan Shak, who missed out on the $114,000 min-cash. He got it in with K♠Q♠ against the 8♠8♦ of Thomas Boivin on the very first hand of hand-for-hand play and was eliminated.
Joao Simao led the final two tables, but Rezaei was knocking on the door thanks to a well-timed double through Tom Fuchs with kings against tens.
By the time the final table was secured, it looked like Paul Phua was going to ride a wave of momentum to victory and a second WSOP bracelet, eliminating Fuchs along with both Michael and Tyler Moncek and four-handed held almost twice the remaining chips in play.
However, the pace of play meant that even commanding chip leads such as his weren't infallible, and he fell in third place to Rezaei, who had quietly stuck around at the final table. Stacks were level between Rezaei and heads-up opponent Kanit, but it was only a matter of time before the Austrian secured victory.
In all, it took two hours from the start of the final table for Rezaei to wrap up victory and secure his $1,900,000 payday. Not a bad hourly...
