Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Jour 4 termin��
Le poker tricolore n'avait plus ��t�� couronn�� depuis l'��t�� 2014 et une victoire d'Hugo Pingray �� Las Vegas. Expatri�� en Asie, Julien Martini a remport�� un 18e bracelet pour la France aux World Series Of Poker dans la nuit de dimanche �� lundi. Ses 15 derniers adversaires ��taient tous am��ricains.
Il s'impose sur l'Event #4 de la 49 ��dition des championnats du monde de poker, un Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better �� 1500$ l'entr��e qui a rassembl�� 911 joueurs. Initialement pr��vu sur trois jours, les survivants ont pouss�� la structure au maximum et c'est au bout de quatre jours de poker que le Fran?ais encaisse 239 771$ pour sa victoire face �� des sp��cialistes.
Dans les soins dentaires dans la vie civile, la joueuse Kate Hoang a r��sist�� pendant pr��s de quatre heures durant le duel final. "C'��tait un r��ve, une des meilleures choses de ma vie. Je suis tr��s fier et tr��s heureux", a indiqu�� Martini apr��s avoir pos�� avec son bracelet, le 13e remport�� par un Fran?ais dans le Nevada.
Il succ��de �� Benny Glaser (2016 - 934 entr��es) et Benjamin Zamani (2017 - 905 entr��es), le premier avait d'ailleurs encha?n�� par un bracelet sur la m��me variante mais dans le tournoi �� 10.000$ du festival.
L'��dition 2018 de l'Event #4 Omaha Hi-Lo �� 1500$ a donc dur�� plus longtemps que pr��vu. La bulle a saut�� en milieu de Jour 2. Ryan Laplante (133e, $2,252), Chris Tryba (123e, $2,317), Robert Mizrachi (90e, $2,595), John Racener (86e, $2,595), John Monnette (67e, $3,127), Benny Glaser (63e, $3,526), Perry Friedman (54e, $4,046), Shaun Deeb (44e, $4,723) et Peter Eichhardt (39e, $4,723) ont tous saut�� avant le Jour 3 qui n'a concern�� que les 36 derniers survivants.
Mike Leah (30e, $5,605), Jason Lester (28e, $5,605), Mike Wattel (21e, $6,764), le Su��dois Chris Bjorin (17e, $8,296), Jeff Shulman (12e, $13,091) n'��taient pas si loin de la Table Finale qui a d��marr�� tard dans la nuit dans la nuit de samedi �� dimanche. Chad Eveslage (6e, $39,182) et Brandon Ageloff (5e, $53,482) ont rendu les armes et il a fallu revenir pour un jour suppl��mentaire.
Julien Martini et Kate Hoang avaient creus�� l'��cart, William Kopp et Mack Lee faisaient le dos rond avec un micro tapis. Kopp aurait pu retourner l'affaire mais il va finalement partager un pot crucial avec Hoang avant de rendre les armes quelques minutes plus tard.
Mack Lee s'est alors battu comme un diable pour tripler puis pour doubler avant de reperdre la moiti�� de son stack. Julien Martini a donc aussi beaucoup swingu�� avant de mettre fin aux espoirs de Lee en ��vitant le deux outers. La derni��re bataille a ��t�� longue et le chiplead a chang�� plusieurs fois de mains avant que le Fran?ais n'accomplisse son r��ve d'adolescent.
Left with crumbs after the earlier fold, Kate Hoang was all in for the third time in a row, this time for 300,000 on the button.
