It’s time now (long overdue, apologies for that) to update you on the events that came to their natural conclusions on Wednesday. We already reported on Fred “FriDiGiDi” winning The Hendon Mob Championship, but what about the other events that took place yesterday?
Sarharib Karatas Wins 8-Game
Scott ‘Pokerbrahs’ Kenyon was in the zone yesterday in the €125 8-Game tournament. I spoke to him when there were 10 players left and he was feeling confident and rightly so, as he very nearly picked up his first trophy of the series. However, he didn’t quite get there, but I spared him the “Scott Falls Short Again" headline suggested by William Lynch and instead paid homage to the actual winner of the tournament, Sarharib Karatas from Germany who took the €1,870 first prize. Congratulations Sarharib!
Overlay in PLO High Roller
The PLO High Roller has a lower than expected turnout and ended up missing its guarantee by €2,000. This gave a nice bit of added value to the players who took part. There were 18 entries altogether, however three of them were made by Franke. His third and final bullet sadly only lasted one hand. It was won by Phil Grosg from Germany for €9,600
Karev’s Wednesday Madness Mayhem
Karev Tralla was going for back-to-back wins in the newly added Madness tournaments that take place at 8.30pm each night. These €125 NLH turbo tournaments have proved to be popular, with 96 entries this time. Karev didn’t have much luck at first, dusting off three bullets within the first hour of play, his third lasting only one hand.
His fourth pop wasn’t much better either, but his fifth was a lucky one and enabled him to make it onto the final table for the second day in a row. He exited in 7th place for €420, but made a loss of €330 overall as he had invested a total of €750 in buy-ins. He needed to finish in the top four to make a profit.
It was won by Norwegian Halvor Dahlberg for €2,580. Also putting in an appearance on the final table were Sami Pulliainen from Finland, a former Maltese resident and David K Lappin. They exited in 4th and 5th places respectively
Full Results will be posted shortly on the Malta results page.
