A Bar Mitzva celebration was held in Meah Shearim, for Shmuel Roth, the son of Noa Roth who is the oldest daughter of former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu’s grandson is a precocious student who completed the entire Shas Bavli at his Bar Mitzva party.
Shmuel studies at Darkei Shmuel a Talmud Torah affiliated with the Jerusalem Faction and named in memory of Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach zts’l, the founder of the faction which broke off from Degel Hatorah and refuses any compromise on military service.
Shmuel’s melamed (teacher) said at the event that he has been teaching for ten years and has never encountered a child blessed with such genius and talent as Shmuel Roth. The melamed added that Shmuel was incredibly diligent and studied at all times including recess. He began studying Shas Bavli at the age of 10 and completed it at his Bar Mitzva three years later, a remarkable feat.

The family is affiliated with Breslov, which believes in reading through Shas, even without full understanding. Perhaps much of what he did was in that style.
Perspective, the kid attends a cheder is run by the Litvishe group that belongs to Rav Shmuel Orbach z"l, and the as we read in the article above:

Anonymous, the kid didn't do it as part of the cheder.
