VITO BRANCIFORTE WINS WSOP SUPER CIRCUIT KINGS MAIN EVENT
Las Vegas, Nevada (November 11, 2026) - The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Super Circuit has crowned its latest Main Event champion at King's Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, with Vito Branciforte capturing his first WSOP Circuit gold ring and a career-best €370,000 payday.
The €3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event attracted 505 entries across Day 1 flights from November 5-7. After several days of competition, Branciforte emerged from the field to claim the title at the first WSOP Super Circuit festival ever held at King's Resort.
The Italian-born, Germany-based player's victory marked a breakthrough moment after years on the European circuit. Branciforte won his seat online through a GGPoker Ring Pass satellite, then turned that ticket into the biggest result of his career. He arrived at the final table as the chip leader after already finishing fifth in a Monster Stack event earlier in the series, and his latest performance delivered his first Circuit ring and pushed his career live earnings beyond $833,000.
Branciforte faced a challenging final table that included several experienced competitors. Stanislaw Miadzel ultimately finished as the runner-up, earning €245,000, while Mohsen Borhani took third place for €171,000. Aleksandrs Zenkovs (€120,000), who had already won a ring earlier in the series, Ilia Krupin (€85,000), and Maor Zaharagi (€59,500) rounded out the top six.
Branciforte entered heads-up play with a commanding 5-to-1 chip advantage after his pocket aces held against Borhani's pocket tens. Miadzel picked up several early pots to fight back, but Branciforte closed it out in a flush-over-flush clash, ultimately claiming the title.
The victory capped the inaugural WSOP Super Circuit KINGS at King's Resort, which crowned 17 ring winners from October 28 to November 11. The series offered players throughout Europe and beyond opportunities to compete for gold rings, significant prize money, and the poker trip of a lifetime at WSOP Paradise 2026.
