Erstens kommt es anders, und zweitens als man denkt. So lautet das Fazit des €5.300 Main Events der PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague im King’s Casino Prague nach einem überraschenden Schlusstag, an dem ein Spieler komplett steil ging.
Dagegen kam der Ire Padraig O’Neill als Shortstack mit vergleichsweise kümmerlichen 12 Big Blinds in den Finaltag und stand gleich zu Beginn mit dem Rücken zur Wand.
Mit 44 war er gegen Kytes AK All-In und nach einem König auf dem Flop schien seine Reise auf Platz 5 beendet.
Eine Vier auf dem Turn rettete ihn aber und gab den Startschuss für ein beeindruckendes Comeback.
Chip um Chip wanderte zu O’Neill, der nach dem Aus von Umberto Ruggeri auf Platz 3 als überlegener Chipleader ins Heads-Up ging.
Der lange dominierende Jon Kyte zeigte aber Kämpferqualitäten und hielt das finale Duell lange offen.
Nach fünf Stunden war der Widerstand des Norwegers dann aber doch gebrochen. Mit T5 callte er das All-in von O’Neill, der KT hielt und die gegnerische Hand dominierte.
Das Board brachte nur Blanks, womit der Ire als EPT-Champion feststand. Als Belohnung erhielt er ein Preisgeld von €1,03 Millionen, während Kyte sich über €643.000 freuen durfte.
