Sechs Russen versuchten gestern im Finale des RUB 77.000 EPT National im Rahmen der PokerStars EPT Sochi, einen Heimsieg zu landen, doch einer hatte etwas dagegen.
Der Weißrusse Yury Masliankou ging bereits als klarer Chipleader ins achtköpfige Finale und ließ auch dort nicht mehr locker.
Dass man dafür auch Glück braucht, zeigte sich gegen Alexandr Sergutin, der auf einem Board mit 678J mit Buben All-In ging und Masliankous Call mit J5 bekam. Der River brachte mit der Neun die Straight und Sergutin konnte seine Sachen mit Top Set packen.
Auch Masliankous letzter Gegner kämpfte zwar, doch letztlich stand auch Daniil Lukin auf verlorenem Posten. Er shovte mit QT, bekam den Call von A9 und das Board mit T38A2 bescherte Masliankou den Sieg und ein Preisgeld von umgerechnet gut €127.000.
Insgesamt 721 Entries hatten zuvor für einen Preisgeldtopf von rund €670.000 gesorgt.
