Sasha Sabbaghian’s journey during the $600 The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship was in doubt multiple times at the Thunder Valley Casino and Resort during the RunGood Poker Series Final Orbit.
Sabbaghian, at one point, was down to 50,000 in chips with 15 remaining in the tournament. His prospects were bleak, but a few double-ups got him back in the game, and he rode that wave all the way to The Hendon Mob trophy, RGPS ring, and the $95,295 top prize as he outlasted a total of 1,111 entries to lock up the title.
Sabbaghian shared his thoughts with PokerNewsfollowing his victory regarding his resiliency during his tournament run.
“Well, the craziest part was earlier in the day, I was down to three and a half bigs, spun it up, got back down to three and a half bigs, and spun it up again,” Sabbaghian said.
Sabbaghian stated that he realized it was his moment after he spun it up again after being down to 50,000 in chips.
“So after I spun that up, from the fifty, I was just like, all right, this is just meant to be. It was honestly the craziest tournament I’ve ever played,” said Sabbaghian.

| 9 | Victor Paredes | United States | $9,580 |
Sabbaghian entered the final table with the least amount of chips, but he began to turn around his fortune when he eliminated Victor Paredes in ninth place to gain some traction. Sabbaghian became a wrecking ball as he eliminated Adam Miller in eighth place, Shahin Shojaeyan in sixth place, Brandon Harper in fifth place, Chris Nelson in fourth place, and Toan Nguyen in second place to seal the deal.
Sabbaghian had high praise for the tournament staff, sharing that he loves playing at Thunder Valley Casino and Resort. Notably, the venue has been a good luck spot for him, as this is his second RGPS title there. Sabbaghian won the 2021 RGPS Main Event at Thunder Valley and now will add a second title to his resume.
When asked what a second RGPS title meant to him, Sabbaghian had one simple response.
“$95,000,” said Sabbaghian.
Day 2 Action
A total of 111 players returned for Day 2, chasing a piece of the $577,720 prize pool, and the action was fast from the start.
Former champ Jagdeep Bal was a chip leader throughout a significant portion of Day 2 as he leveraged the fact that he had a top stack entering the day after he managed to topple Ryan Pham in a massive pot early on Day 2. Bal managed to make a deep run but fell short in 11th place as he was unable to win the same event he took down in 2023.
Arthur Tanimoto entered the day with the most chips of any player heading into Day 2. That big stack carried him far to a finish of 14th place after he ran into a cooler when his pocket jacks ran into the aces of Bal.
RGPS 2023-2024 Player of the Year Brian Winter, as well as other RGPS title winners such as Cheryl Svenson, Randy Gil, Ryan Awwad, Steven Gnatovich, and Alan Burgess, all came into the day hoping to add another title, but fell short of achieving that feat.
