took down Event #35: No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed for $580,338 to win his first bracelet and Russia's second of the 2017 World Series of Poker after Vladimir Shchemelev's victory earlier this week.
After coming into the day third in chips, Kakhmazov took advantage of other players faltering and stamped his trademark aggression and unreadability on proceedings, taking a huge chip lead into heads-up play, and besting a final table that included bracelet winner Sam Soverel, November Niner Kenny Hallaert, and Faraz Jaka.
