Andrey Pateychuk Wins Big Money in Italy
PokerStars is known as one of the best Euro poker sites thanks to the European Poker Tour. The 8th season of the EPT just finished in San Remo Italy.
847 players entered the event at €4,900 a pop which brought the total prize pool up to €3,734,694. It meant that the winner of the tourney would receive €680,000. When I think of how much Deal or No Deal online I could play with that money, I get very excited!!
Season 6 EPT Berlin winner Kevin Macphee was the short stack when the final table started, and Andrew Pateychuck was sitting on the 4th place stack. The final table bubble boy of the event was Johnny Lodden, a PokerStars Pro. His fellow PokerStars Pro Lex "Raszi" Veldhuis finished in 15th for €22,000.
Macphee caught a string of icy cold cards at the final table and folded his first 34 hands. He tried to make it look like he finally got a hand with the 35th dealt, pushing in the small blind with 56 off suit. Poker pro Barny Boatman knew that he was not strong, however, and made a good call with suited Q7. Macphee couldn't suck out and was eliminated in 8th place.
Daniel Neilson was the chip leader when the final table started, but it eventually got taken away from him. Pateychuk and Neilson got it all in for an enormous pot, Pateychuk holding AK and Neilson holding A9. There was no 3-outer to be found, which meant that Pateychuk now had a healthy chip lead.
Neilson made it to 3-handed, but then he was finally eliminated by Dimitar Danchev. After Neilson's bustout, Pateychuk and Danchev agreed to a deal: €160,000 in prize money each, and play for €80,000.
It was a long while before heads-up ended, but finally Danchev got the last of his chips in with KQ suited against the pocket sevens of Pateychuk. Pateychuk held on to win the race, which earned him the extra money as well as the EPT title!
