|
The Mediterranean Poker Cup main event was won by Ukrainian Aleksandr Dovzhenko. He beat Russian Gutkin Maksim heads up for the €104,700 top prize.
The main feature of the Mediterranean festival, the three-day $2,500 buy-in main event, kicked off on Nov. 26 and attracted 153 players to the five-star Hotel Merit Girne, Crystal Cove, Cyprus.
It came down to Russia versus Ukraine and the final hand saw Gutkin check a 10
6 3
flop. Dovzhenko bet 60,000 and Gutkin moved all in. Dovzhenko called and revealed 8 7 for a flush draw and inside straight draw while Gutkin turned over 10 10
for top set. The turn was a useless (non-club) ace, but the river was the 5 giving Dovzhenko his flush and sending Gutkin to the rail with €70,700 for finishing runner-up.
