Nachdem sich bereits gestern die letzten Deutschen aus dem Rennen um die Heads-Up-Krone der WSOP verabschiedet hatten, wurden in der vergangenen Nacht die beiden Finalisten ermittelt.
Leo Wolpert und EPT-Gründer John Duthie sind die beiden Spieler, die sich kommende Nacht in einem Best-of-Three-Match um den WM-Titel und die Siegesprämie von 625.682 Dollar streiten. Durch die Finalqualifikation haben beide schon ein Preisgeld von 386.636 Dollar sicher, können die Sache also entspannt angehen.Während sich John Duthie gegen Nathan Doudney recht rasch durchsetzen konnte, als er in der entscheidenden Hand mit einem Paar Damen gegen A J die Oberhand behielt, entwickelte sich zwischen Wolpert und Jamin Stokes ein zähes Ringen.Auf einem Board mit 8h6d3h schob Stokes, der zuvor Johnny Chan eliminiert hatte, seine restlichen Chips in die Mitte und bekam von Wolpert den Call. Dieser hielt AhJh und nahm Stokes somit durch den besseren Flush Draw einen Großteil seiner vermeintlichen Outs. Ein Bube auf dem Turn verschlimmerte Stokes’ Lage und nach der 8s auf dem River war die Sache beendet.
