He won his first PGT Cup for earning enough points to become the series champion, joining Dan Zack (2023), Max Hoffman (2024), and Chino Rheem (2023, 2025) as a PGT Mixed Games champion.

Going into the last three events, Dzivielevski, a Brazilian pro, had yet to cash in the series. That changed in Event #5, the 15,200 Big Bet Mix that attracted 53 entrants, which he won for $262,350. It was his first PGT title.

A day later, he would make another deep run in the $15,200 Dealer’s Choice event that brought in 57 entrants. This time, he’d fall to Qinghai Pan, who earned enough points in the series to finish second to Dzivielevski. The runner-up finish was good for $171,000.

Dzivielevski did the same thing in the series final, the $25,300 10-Game Championship that brought in a record-breaking 64 entrants, finishing second to Brian Rast for another $312,000. The last two cashes pushed Dzivielevski’s lifetime earning over the $10 million mark.
