This Sunday, Michael Martin was crowned champion of the European Poker Tournament, winning the grand prize so coveted by all 595 players entered in the race. What a feat for the player, especially when he parried the attacks to the final table, moving up to be named winner of the event. To have finished first, Michael Martin pocketed 1 million pounds sterling, while the runner - up Michael hit a gain of 525k pounds.
The final hand between the two began when followed after the small blind. He had the upper hand over his opponent: if Martin turned four, showed a K-9. But the flop fell 6-3-2, giving Martin more chances to improve his hand. The turn came with a four rhombus, a real coup for Martin bowl. Now Tureniec could not hope for a cut of the pot through a five-time River. There was no chance because the River showed two of spades, giving Martin the full house and the victory.
