author-picture Admin - 2013. March 18.

Steve O'Dwyer started in the lead in the EPT London 2013 £5,250 Main Event finale with 5,270,000 in chips. O'Dwyer finished 2nd at last year’s EPT London final table and aimed to hit the top position this time. However, the likes of Rubin Visser, Theo Jorgensen and Chris Moorman were there to have a word in that, too.

Seat 1: Mantas Visockis – 1,510,000
Seat 2: Olof Haglund – 2,755,000
Seat 3: Ruben Visser – 3,640,000
Seat 4: Steve O'Dwyer – 5,270,000
Seat 5: Chris Moorman – 1,075,000
Seat 6: Theo Jorgensen – 1,550,000
Seat 7: Tamer Kamel – 960,000
Seat 8: Christophe Frank – 2,570,000


On Level 27 (5,000/25,000/50,000), Moorman opened to 105,000 from the Button, Jorgensen 3-bet to 280,000 from the SB, Moorman shoved to 1,225,000 and Jorgensen called. Moorman showed pocket sevens, Jorgensen had AK and the board came J-A-K-6-9, eliminating Moorman in 8th place.

Olof Haglund, who had used to work as a newsboy and is now a mid-stakes heads-up cash game regular since 2006, has soon gained the lead, with doubling up on O’Dwyer’s AK with QQ. Shortstack Tamer Kamel was his next victim, followed by 18 years old Christopher Frank, who lost a flip with AK against Visser’s pocket nines.

On Level 28 (10,000/30,000/60,000), O’Dwyer was eliminated by Jorgensen’s pocket rockets, only four players were left.

Olof Haglund – 8,575,000
Ruben Visser – 6,570,000
Mantas Visockis – 2,290,000
Theo Jorgensen – 1,880,000

On Level 29 (10,000/40,000/80,000), the four-handed play ended: Isser raised to 175,000, Jorgensen 3-bet to 905,000, Visser went all-in and Jorgensen called with 1,700,000, showing fours. Visser had A-8 and the board came Q-3-2-Q-A.

The three remaining players stroke a deal:

Ruben Visser – 7,420,000 (£455,000)
Olof Haglund – 6,670,000 (£427,564)
Mantas Visockis – 5,240,000 (£377,436)

£140,000 was left for the winner.

Vissel started to increase his edge, managing to eliminate Haglund to have a major lead in the heads-up.

Ruben Visser – 15,595,000
Mantas Visockis – 3,735,000


Mantas ‘KRAFTY_LT’ Visockis came back to 8,325,000 but the victory eventually went to Visser: on Level 30 (20,000/60,000/120,000), he opened to 250,000, Visockis 3-bet all-in with c. 4,000,000 and Visser called.

Visockis: {#}T {#}T
Visser: {#}A {#}Q

Board: {#}7 {#}4 {#}J {#}2 {#}Q

The pair of queens won him the tournament.
