Twenty-eight year-old poker pro William Fry from England has won the first PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Hungarian Open topping a field of 532 players to take down the €595,839.
Fry defeated Ciprian Hrisca heads up when raised preflop with J-J and his Romanian opponent pushed with A-6 which Fry called. “They were the first good cards I’d had in ages,” he said. “Up until then I’d been re-raising with rubbish but if I get good cards, I can be pretty dangerous.”
Fry plans to give a portion of his winnings to charities raising awareness of third-world poverty.
The final table results were:
1st: William Fry (€595,839)
2nd: Ciprian Hrisca (€342,608)
