Position | Joueur | Pays | Prix |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Leon Tsoukernik | Czech Republic | �741,100 |
2 | Charlie Carrel | United Kingdom | �535,250 |
3 | Juha Helppi | Finland | �341,150 |
4 | Viacheslav Buldygin | Russia | �258,800 |
5 | Paul Newey | United Kingdom | �200,000 |
6 | Julian Thomas | Germany | �152,915 |
7 | Anthony Zinno | United States | �123,520 |
Apr��s l'��limination de Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier �� la bulle, le jeu s'��tait poursuivi jusqu'�� la sortie d'Anthony Zinno en 7e position pour 123 520� lors du Jour 2. Les six finalistes revenaient �� l'H?tel Hilton de Prague pour en finir, mardi sous l'oeil des cam��ras de PokerStars Live.
Leon Tsoukernik ��tait d��j�� en t��te, poursuivi par Charlie Carrel avec qui il avait disput�� de nombreux pots lors du Jour 2. Juha Helppi et Viacheslav Buldygin formaient le second groupe alors que Paul Newey et Julian Thomas ��taient en queue de peloton.
Les finalistes sont sortis dans l'ordre de leur tapis de d��part lors de cette finale qui nous a offert de gros pots, des bluffs et quelques conversations sympathiques.
En d��but de TF, Charlie Carrel a pris la t��te en bluffant Leon Tsoukernik. Rien n'a chang�� pour Julian Thomas. Le vainqueur du WPT Prague 2013 n'a jamais trouv�� de spot pour doubler. L'Allemand finit 6e pour 152 915� apr��s avoir ��t�� victime de Carrel.
Paul Newey, runner-up de ce tournoi lors de la premi��re ��dition en 2014, a attendu, attendu, attendu... et finalement trouv�� une paire de . Mais les de Viacheslav Buldygin ont fait quinte �� la rivi��re pour renvoyer le riche amateur dans le rail. Newey encaisse 200 000� pour sa 5e place.
Dans la foul��e, sur la main suivante, Charlie Carrel et Leon Tsoukernik vont jouer la main cl�� du tournoi. L'affrontement va durer 10 minutes et Tsoukernik chatter �� la rivi��re. Avec en main, il repasse devant les deux paires du jeune anglais et renverse la vapeur. Carrel a h��sit�� 8 minutes sans parvenir �� se r��soudre �� rendre ses cartes au croupier...
Ce pot ��norme permet �� Leon de se porter tr��s largement en t��te de la finale alors que Charlie se retrouve dernier de la classe. Le Britannique ne perd pas son humour en indiquant rapidement que l'unique but r��aliste est d��sormais de terminer runner-up.
Avec un gros chipleader et trois poursuivants, le rythme s'est ralenti et c'est Juha Helppi qui s'est retrouv�� en short le premier. Le Finlandais va r��ussir �� doubler au grand dam de Viacheslav Buldygin qui termine 4e apr��s avoir fait tapis avec et s'��tre empal�� sur .
Juha Helppi, tout juste 4e du Master Classics of Poker Amsterdam, ne va pas r��sister plus longtemps et compl��tele podium pour un gain de 341 150�, le deuxi��me plus gros score de sa carri��re. Ce r��sultat permet �� Helppi de revenir �� 233 000$ de Patrik Antonius �� la all-time money list finlandaise
Comme pr��vu Charlie Carrel et Leon Tsoukernik se retrouvent en heads up. Voisins depuis l'entame du tournoi, les deux joueurs n'ont pas arr��t�� de s'affronter. Le ton ��tait m��me l��g��rement mont�� lors du Jour 1 avant que tout ne rentre rapidement dans l'ordre et ne laisse place �� une comp��tition �� la r��guli��re.
Tsoukernik, qui nous a gratifi�� d'un "Je suis le dernier pro en lice, le reste du field est semi-professionnel... au mieux" durant la finale, s'est montr�� tr��s actif au niveau chambre et Charlie Carrel a toujours gard�� le sourire, content de livrer un duel anim�� m��me s'il n'a commenc�� qu'avec un tiers des jetons.
Carrel n'est jamais parvenu �� inverser la tendance et il est rapidement entr�� dans la zone o�� il faut jeter ses cartes ou faire tapis. Le jeune homme va retrouver �� tapis avec ... en belle position puisque Tsoukernik ne peut d��voiler mieux que . Un flop hauteur avec deux piques laisse pr��sager d'un avenir compliqu�� pour Carrel qui rejoint le rail plus riche de 535 250� apr��s deux briques au tournant et �� la rivi��re.
Le Tsar de Rozvadov aura domin�� le tournoi de bout en bout et permis un streaming plut?t fun. De quoi tourner la page des SHR European Poker Tour avec le sourire...
