Yoann Kaminisky Wins the 2025 Winamax Poker Tour Grand Finale and €175,000
From Underdog to Champion at the Pasino Grand
The 28-year-old auto body repairman joined on Day 1A, busting once before running deep on his second bullet. Kaminisky’s emotional rollercoaster peaked when he defeated freeroll qualifier Patrice Espinasse heads-up, earning €175,000 and the symbolic champion’s sword. Espinasse turned €0 into €127,500 — a story of its own.
Final Table Payouts:
Yoann Kaminisky (France) – €175,000
Patrice Espinasse (France) – €127,500
Jean-Yves Lestrade – €90,000
Thibault Dumontier – €63,800
Highlights:
Kaminisky cracked Aces to bust Oscar Genix (14th) and doubled through Malcolm Franchi (16th).
A pivotal set on the turn gave him the upper hand against Lestrade before finishing off Espinasse in a short heads-up.
His celebration roar echoed through the casino as he lifted the champion’s sword.
Fun Facts:
The champion said he would now buy a house with a pool for his son and step back from full-time poker.
Defending champion Jérémy Cauchard, who won the 2024 edition (€170,000), couldn’t repeat, finishing 9th (€35,700) after a dramatic clash with Espinasse.
What’s Next for Winamax: Next stops include the WSOP-C Aix-en-Provence (April 17th–21st), SISMIX Marrakech (May 20–25), and WPO Aix-les-Bains (September 16th–21st).
With a record turnout and a thrilling finale, the WiPT 2025 sets a new standard for European poker festivals.
