Anatolii Zyrin scored the first-place prize in one of the 2021 World Series of Poker’s largest-turnout events ever in the $400 Colossus No-Limit Hold’em tourney. Zyrin, who hails from Russia blasted through a 9,399-entry field to score the second WSOP bracelet of his career in the tournament.

The U.S.’s Kevin Rand ended up in third place with $147,595.
