Online pro Ben ‘NeverScaredB’ Wilinofsky started the 8-handed final table of the EPT Season 7 Berlin main event as chipleader, followed by other favourite Swedish Martin Jacobson, who finished 3rd in EPT Budapest in 2008 and 2nd in EPT Vilamoura in 2010 and EPT Deauville in 2011.
Play started at level 27 (5,000/30,000/60,000) and Wilinofsky opened great, taking a pot of 6 million with a set against Maximilian Heinzelmann, who mucked his hand.
A bit later shortstack Jonas Gutteck went all-in preflop with 670,000, Heinzelmann insta-called. Gutteck showed
J 9 , Heinzelmann held pocket kings and on the K T 2 K 6 board, he felted Gutteck with a four of a kind.
After Joep van den Bijgaart, Darren Kramer and Armin Mette were all sent to the rail, 4-handed play began with Wilinofsky’s enormous chip lead:
Ben Wilinofsky: 12,945,000
Max Heinzelmann: 4,700,000
Martin Jacobson: 3,195,000
Vadzim Kursevich: 2,290,000
