Andjelko Andrejevic has won the 2016 World Poker Tour Amsterdam €3,300 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event, defeating a field of 318 entries to win his first WPT title and the top prize of €200,000 ($228,000 USD).
The Serbian-American poker pro has had a number of deep runs in WPT events in the past few years, finishing seventh in the 2015 WPT Borgata Poker Open main event, third in the 2015 WPT Maryland Live! main event and fourth in the 2016 WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star main event. This time around he emerged victorious, topping a tough final table that included the likes of reigning Card Player Player of the Year and three-time WPT champion Anthony Zinno (3rd – $103,124) and a couple of tough international poker pros in Joep van den Bijgaart (7th – $38,256) and Felipe Ramos (8th – $30,666).
In addition to the title and the money Andrejevic also earned 720 POY points for the win. With 1,632 points and $559,500 in year-to-date earnings Andrejevic now sits in 30th place in the overall POY standings.
Zinno, who was at his third final table of 2016, now occupies the 59th-place spot on the Player of the Year leaderboard as he looks to become the first player ever to win back-to-back Card Player Player of the Year awards.
