BUSQUET TRIUMPHANT IN E.P.T. BARCELONA SUPER HIGH ROLLER
2014-08-21
The respected American poker professional Oliver Busquet has emerged victorious in the Euro 50,000 buy-in Super High Roller event in the one hundredth European Poker Tour leg in Barcelona.
The entry field of 77 passed the previous event record of 64, and was distilled to a final table that seated Busquet and Daniel Colman of Big One for One Drop fame, Vladimir Troyanovskiy, Scott Seiver, Sam Trickett, Sven Reichardt, Morten Klein and hedge fund manager Dan Shak.
The hard-fought heads up saw Busquet pitted against the formidable and poker-faced Dan Colman, recently in the headlines following his multi-million dollar cash in the Big One for One Drop tourney at the World Series of Poker.
In the final stages of a tough and competitive battle, the duo agreed a chop that gave the winner Euro 896,434 and the runner up Euro 843,066. When play resumed after the negotiation, it was Busquet who took the honours and the main prize, boosting his career earnings to almost $6 million.
Other final table pay-outs looked like this:
Vladimir Troyanovskiy Euro 473,200
Scott Seiver Euro 364,200
Sam Trickett Euro 288,400
Sven Reichardt Euro 225,500
Morten Klein Euro 177,500

GERMAN AMATEUR WINS WORLD SERIES OF POKER BRACELET
2013-07-06
German amateur player Nikolaus Tiechart is $730,736 better off today following his victory in the $2,500 buy-in event 56 at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas - a NLHE competition that attracted 1,736 entrants.
The bracelet, for me, is a dream," said the delighted German, who plays "for fun" and is a retired investor from Dusseldorf. This is the greatest day of my life.
He had reason to be pleased - among the final table aces he bested were professional players Josh Arieh and Nicolas Levi, along with Vincent Maglio, Dan Owen, Sergey Lebedev, Kirill Rabtsov, Nicolas Faure and Sebastien Comel.
The event was one of several this year that had to run to extra time as Tiechert and Vincent Maglio battled it out in a taut heads up that ran to an extra day.
After the fourth day restart the German quickly leveraged a slight chip lead to finish Maglio off and send him home with a consolatory $452,008 after about an hour of intense action.
It was Tiechert's first WSOP bracelet and his biggest prize money yet, although he has competed and cashed in World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour events in the past.
