Ali Imsirovic<\/strong> has been mentioned here a couple of times in the past few months<\/a>\u2014the first was at the end of November when a 4th place finish in the\u00a0WSOPC Planet Hollywood Main Event<\/strong> brought him to my attention\u2014but as I’m an idiot, I had no idea of what he was doing, despite the fact that he’s based in Vancouver, Washington.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0a comment on\u00a0NW Poker<\/strong> by\u00a0Preston Jarneski<\/strong>, Imsirovic has “been crushing ACR [America’s Card Room] for a few years now.” Imsirovic’s Hendon Mob profile<\/a> shows a string of three- and four-figure cashes going back to the\u00a02015 Punta Cana Poker Classic<\/strong>, cashes in the Czech Republic, Austria, with a couple of bigger numbers posted in Las Vegas and Florida last year. Then, in November, Imsirovic kicked into 4th gear in Vegas with the WSOPC main Event, a 4th place cash in a small $10K at Bellagio’s WPT Five Diamond<\/strong>, and 4th at the Venetian<\/strong> in the $3,500 December Extravaganza Main Event<\/strong>. Then he went \u00a0to the Bahamas for the\u00a0PokerStars Caribbean Adventure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I got a message from the fantastic\u00a0Mr. Sam Cosby<\/strong> on Sunday afternoon that “Portland resident Almedin Imsirovic just won 10k hyper turbo spade at PCA.” \u00a0Imsirovic inserted himself into another $10K buyin (just a couple of days after min-cashing in a $3.3K event) to best a field of 55 in a 15-minute blind structure, at a final table that included\u00a0Sam Greenwood<\/strong>, Stephan Schillhabel<\/strong>,\u00a0Mustapha Kanit<\/strong>, and Benjamin Pollak<\/strong>,\u00a0beating out WSOP Main Event Champion\u00a0Ryan Riess<\/strong> heads-up for the $160,050 prize. Not bad for seven hours work. In the past eight weeks he’s climbed from 202nd to 40th on the Washington all-time money list at Hendon Mob<\/a>.<\/p>\n
