Swedish Poker Pro Wins Polish Unibet Open

Jimmy Jonsson is the young Swede who is now the proud owner of €161,271 and a shiny new trophy for taking down the final Unibet Open of the year in Poland.

From Dec. 3-6, 401 players took their seats at Casinos Poland at the Warsaw Hyatt, and by the time Jonsson had picked up his first-place prize, 400 had exited the same way they came in.

His heads-up opponent was Frenchman Regis Burlot, and the final hand came when Jonsson raised to 115,000 from the small blind and Burlot made the call from the big blind. The flop fell K J 8, Burlot checked, and Jonsson bet 130,000. Burlot raised it to 300,000 and Jonsson quickly moved all in. Burlot called and the remaining cards were tantalisingly dealt.

The turn was the 9 and river was the Q. Burlot showed Q 10 for a turned straight while Burlot showed K 9 for two pair.

The final table payouts were:

1st place — Jimmy Jonsson (€161,271)
2nd place — Regis Burlot (€104,352)
3rd place — Joachim Buch (€69,569)
4th place — Tom Rademaker (€50,950)
5th place — Imre Leibold (€39,522)
6th place — Francois Jardinet (€26,885)
7th place — Filipe Martins (€19,929)
8th place — Wojcech Frankowski (€14,235)
9th place — Viktoria Szilasi (€11,386)
