European Poker Tour Hits Dortmund TomorrowGerman Open Marks Third Last EPT of Season Five |
|
The PokerStars.com European Poker Tour German Open, returns to Casino Hohensyburg, Dortmund, tomorrow and CardPlayerEurope.com will be there every step of the way. Last year the event was won by 18-year-old Canadian Mike “Timex” McDonald, making him the youngest ever victor on the tour. McDonald collected €933,600 for his victory over 410 opponents in the €8,000 buy-in event.
He eliminated five players at the final table en route to his triumph, and declared himself “pretty happy” with the way it all worked out. “Obviously I start all tournaments thinking I could win them or I wouldn't play them. Today was good though — when I had big hands, they gave me their chips.”
The former University of Waterloo student beat 26-year-old German Andreas Gülünay heads up with A-K versus 10-7. The Canadian flopped a pair and turned trips and sent Gülünay to the rail to collect €528,500 for second place.
McDonald had recently made the final tables of three Aussie Millions events and won a €10,000 seat to the EPT grand final in Monte Carlo in April.
