Share on Twitter Share on Facebook 2 min readThe first Performance of the Week at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is all about redemption.
After Artur Martirosian made it to the semi-finals of the $25,000 Heads-up Championship last year, who knew if or when he would make it to the same stage again?
Losing out to eventual champion Darius Samual, he took home $180,000, but this year he got over the hump and won his first bracelet in Las Vegas and third overall.

Click hereMartirosian had to win six consecutive matches against six accomplished pros to win the event. And he truly earned it because he had arguably the toughest route to the finals in the entire tournament.
He faced six-time bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus in the first round. Next up was Jaka Coaching and poker legend Faraz Jaka in Round 2. Then, in the Sweet 16, he had to face one of the top online heads-up crushers in the world, Kevin Rabichow. The competition didn't get any lighter in the quarterfinals, but Chance Kornuth was no match for the eventual champion.
Martirosian then dusted off two formidable opponents — Patrick Leonard in the semifinals and Aliaksei Boika (pictured) in the final. There were no easy matches for the champion. He had to battle against the best of the best, making the win even more impressive, and the reason he earned the honor of being the first 2025 WSOP Performance of the Week.

Martirosian now has over $25 million in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob. That makes him tops on Russia's all time list, about $6 million better than Igor Kurganov.
His prowess in heads-up poker has been well-documented his deep runs in the prestigious $25k event in 2024 and 2025 weren't the first time he's made it far in a high-stakes heads-up event. The now three-time bracelet winner took down a $10,000 WSOP Online heads-up bracelet tournament in 2023 for $431,165.
That was his first bracelet. He'd go on to a second bracelet that same year at World Series of Poker Paradise (WSOPP) in the Bahamas when he took down the Flip & Go tournament for $110,590. But his biggest win came on Sunday when he shipped Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up Championship for $500,000, beating out some of the best heads-up players in the world.
Who's to say there won't be another heads-up bracelet coming Martirosian's way? Move aside John Smith, Martirosian's making his mark.
