Fabian Quoss, a World Series of Poker event runner-up in 2009, has won the English Poker Open at the Palm Beach Casino, London.
Quoss battled through the 193-strong field in the £3,500 buy-in event to get heads up with Sebastian Crul. The pair got their money in pre-flop on the final hand with Quoss’ A-Q holding against Crul’s A-5 suited when an ace fell on the flop and the rest of the board proved benign for the German.
The prizepool was £675,500 and 18 players got paid with Liv Boeree finishing 12th and Phil Laak 18th.
1: Fabian Quoss — £220,650
2: Sebastian Crul — £129,000
3: Mathew Frankland — £77,400
4: Felipe Ramos — £54,300
5: Andrew Brennan — £40,750
6: Brent Lehring — £30,550
7: Mark Norman — £23,750
8: Salman Behbehani — £17,000
9: Stephen Chimelski — £13,600
Both the buy in and number of runners for the 2010 renewal of the English Poker Open were down on 2009 when the event was won by David La Ronde.
