Tobias Reinkemeier Has Been Eliminated in 2nd Place (€104 560)
It was always going to be these two battling it out for the trophy and first prize of €185 120 and you cannot argue that Mclean Karr deserved this win here today.
The heads up was quick, and despite a recent double up, painless as well.
Here is the final hand.
Reinkemeier raised to 45,000 and Karr three-bet to 127,000. Reinkemeier moved all-in and Karr called.

Board:
Karr is our worthy champion.

The turn was and Reinkemeier bet 65,000 before Karl moved all-in and Reinkemeier called.

Nicolo Calia Has Been Eliminated in 3rd Place (€57,040)
Calia moved all-in with [ax][3x] and Karr called with [ax][9x]. There was no miraculous card on the board for Calia this time and the Italian was out in a very respectable 3rd place.
17:35
Govert Metaal Has Been Eliminated in 4th Place (€39 020)
Reinkemeier opened up to 40,000 and Mclean Karr called before Govert Metaal moved all-in for 202,000. Only Karr called.

Karr opened to 32,000 and Nicolo Calia moved all-in for 169,000 but Karr folded. Calia showed just incase the guys thought he was pushing light – I doubt they were!

Kaiser:
Board:
Despite a scare Reinkemeier triples up, Kaiser is eliminated and Metaal is crippled.
16:38
Karr raised again and this time Metaal slammed the door in his face with a shove and Karr folded.
16:36
Blinds are now 8,000/16,000 ante 2,000.
The increase in blind size has not slowed down the raising frequency of Karr; he makes it 32,000 and Andrulis moves all-in for nearly 300,000 and Karr folds.
16:23
Reinkemeier completed in the small blind, Karr bumped it up to 32,000 and Reinkemeier called.
Flop:
Reinkemeier checked to Karr who bet 42,000 and he called.
Turn:
Same M.O only this time the amount was 94,000.
River:
This pot was getting pretty big now and it got bigger when Reinkemeier checked and Karr bet a whopping 200,000. Reinkemeier must have been thinking, “why did I get involved with this guy?”. In the end he laid his hand down but it has damaged his chances of success here.
16:09
Ronnie Kaiser moves all-in, everyone folds and he shows
16:05
Nicolo Calia Doubles Up
Nicolo Calia’s son Antonio is reading the live updates today so welcome Antonio!
Reinkemeier opened to 25,000 under the gun and Karr called to his direct left. The action folded around to Nicolo Calia in the big blind and he moved all-in for 74,000. Reinkemeier called and Karr folded.
Reinkemeier:
Calia:
Board:
Calia’s two little ducks make it through the tributary of overlords and he now has close to 200,000.
