Deepstack Event #6\u00a0 \u20ac225+\u20ac25 Deepstack<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2-day event resumed on Tuesday with French players dominating the overnight leaderboard. 38 players had returned for the day 2, but 11 of these would miss out on a payday, as only 27 places were in the prize money. Overnight chip leader Guillaume Rodrigues-Martin did not manage to maintain his authority, finishing in 19th place. Swiss player Nabil El Hage went on to claim the victory, securing the top prize of \u20ac10,496 and a Party Poker trophy.<\/p>\n

Ladies Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were 29 entries for event #10, the \u20ac130+\u20ac20 Ladies event, generating a prize pool of \u20ac3,619. Ivonne Monteleagre, the vice president of the Women\u2019s Poker Association fired two bullets, but was unable to parlay it into a final table appearance. The heads up battle played out between Argentinian Micaela Yanigro Arcusin and England\u2019s Sophie Gathercole and it was the latter who emerged victorious in the early hours of Wednesday morning, to scoop the title, the trophy and \u20ac1,519.<\/p>\n

H.O.R.S.E<\/strong><\/p>\n

The third event to reach its conclusion was the \u20ac175+\u20ac25 H.O.R.S.E event, a highly anticipated tournament, especially by local players, who hold a weekly H.O.R.S.E tournament here throughout the year. It was high quality field that included a WSOP bracelet winner in Dutchman Jens Voertman and several other highly skilled mixed game players. Mixed games crusher Adam Owen was in attendance and made the money, but did not go on to take the trophy. That honour went to local Richard Burke, an English player who resides in Malta. He rode off with \u20ac2,348 after defeating Joe Brindle heads up, while Adam Owen claimed third place, to give all three spots on the podium to English players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
