WORLD SERIES OF POKER CIRCUIT
WSOPC: tras 20 años de vacaciones del poker, volvió y ganó
Historia similar a la de Chris Moneymaker con final feliz, Klint Griffin retomó el camino de las cartas que lo llevó hasta un anillo.
Rainer Kempe became the champion of the 2016 Super High Roller Bowl after defeating his fellow countryman Fedor Holz . Kempe took home a $5,000,000 prize while Fedor, who has become one of the big names of the industry, took $3,500,000 dollars.
Both players took $8.5 million dollars while the rest of the final table, all of them Americans, took 45% of the prizepool. Big names such as Daniel Negreanu y Jason Mercier , Dan Colman , Doug Polk , Antonio Esfandieri , Brian Rast , Scott Seiver and Timofey “Trueteller” Kuznetsov arrived to Las Vegas trying to win the event but none of them cashed.
On the other hand Dan Shak , Bryn Kenney , Matt Berkley , Erik Seidel and Phil Hellmuth joined the Germans at the final table. The first eliminated was Shak who was also the last «amateur» player alive, he was followed by Kenney a few minutes later.
Hellmuth and his fourteen bracelets left the room in fourth place while Seidel, another high-stakes legend, left the room in third place. Fedor started the duel with a big disadvantage but managed to double up altough this didn’t help when he was eliminated in second place.
Final Positions:
1°: Rainer Kempe $5.000.000
2:° Fedor Holz $3.500.000
3:° Erik Seidel $2.400.000
4:° Phil Hellmuth $1.600.000
5:° Matt Berkey $1.100.000
6:° Bryn Kenney $800.000
7:° Dan Shak $600.000
We will have to wait until 2017 when the Super High Roller Bowl returns to the Aria. The tournament has been a success so it is fair to think that the organization will host the event for another year.
