Event #2: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super Turbo Bounty
Jour 2 terminé
Le premier bracelet de la 50e édition des World Series of Poker (WSOP) a été remporté par un Brian Green Soulagé. "C'est un poids qui s'envole, maintenant je vais pouvoir jouer au poker sans y penser", a avoué le vainqueur de l'Event #2: $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Super Turbo Bounty.
Brian Green encaisse 345,669$ pour son succès sur un field de 204 entrants. Il a dominé son compatriote américain Ali Imsirovic en head's up et un field costaud : "Je me débrouille bien sur contre ce genre de fields où il n'y a que de très bons joueurs. Il faut gagner beaucoup de flips dans un turbo, il n'y a pas beaucoup de jeu postflop mais un succès reste un succès. Ca reste compliqué de gagner un tournoi de poker", explique le pro désormais installé à Las Vegas.
"Avant je venais 100 jours par an depuis le Texas, depuis près de 20 ans… et les frais augmentent. Pourquoi ne pas acheter quelque chose et s'éviter le stress de la facture de l'h?tel. Maintenant je suis à domicile, on dirait que cela a fonctionné. Dormir dans son lit, avoir une routine, j'ai pensé que cela serait un avantage cet été" a conclu Brian Green après la conquête de son premier bracelet.
Green, qui a commencé le poker en 1984 après avoir appris avec son père, approche désormais des 3,5 millions de dollars de gains en carrière. Vainqueur WSOP Circuit à New Orleans, il remporte une finale dont Daniel Negreanu a été le premier sortant.

The final six players returned to action on Thursday in what was the first live stream of the 2019 WSOP. On just the ninth hand of play, six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu moved all in from the button holding ace-ten and received a call from Loren Klein, who had queen-jack in the big blind. Klein turned a queen and that was all she wrote for Negreanu.
Ten hands later, Ping Liu followed him out the door, also courtesy of Klein. It happened when Liu jammed the small blind with jack-ten suited only to have Klein way up with ace-ten in the big blind. Liu actually flopped the nut king-high straight but a jack on the turn gave Klein Broadway and Liu took home $71,614 for his fifth-place finish.
Klein’s run came to an end in fourth place after he got it in preflop holding ace-nine against Asher Conniff’s ace-queen suited. Not long after, Conniff, who started the final table with the chip lead, lost with ace-nine to Brian Green’s king-queen all in preflop after a king appeared on the flop. That allowed Green to take a more than 2:1 chip lead into heads-up play against Ali Imsirovic.
The latter managed an early double to even the stacks, and then the duo played the final hand. Imsirovic got his stack all in preflop holding two red kings and was up against Green’s ace-nine offsuit. Imsirovic held through the nine-high flop after a brick on the turn, but another nine on the river sealed the deal for Green. Imsirovic, one of the hottest players in poker over the past couple of years, was denied his first bracelet but did take home $213,644 in prize money.
