The Davis Cup final wasn't the only top-notch competition taking place in Belgium over the weekend as many of Europe’s finest poker players were in Antwerp for the latest leg of the Unibet Open.
In the end, Mateusz Moolhuizen aced the €1,100 ($1,165) buy-in tournament, which featured 321 entrants, to win €71,000 ($75,256) in cash while fellow countrymen Paul Vergeer and Hans Sybrandi took second and third spots.After Sweden's Micael Emanuelsson was eliminated in fourth, Moolhuizen made sure he took the title and the biggest chunk of change by first eliminating Sybrandi before seeing off the challenge of Vergeer. It took 90 hands and the best part of three hours of heads-up play to reach a winner with Moolhuizen sealing the win after flopping top pair against his countryman's middle pair on a nine high board.Vergeer's runner-up finish saw him earn €51,000 ($54,053) while the win was Moolhuizen's second on the Unibet-sponsored tour after previously taking down its Malta stop in 2011 for €117,000 ($123,997).Unibet Open Antwerp Results:1 Mateusz Moolhuizen (The Netherlands) - €71,0002 Paul Vergeer (The Netherlands) - €51,0003 Hans Sybrandi (The Netherlands) - €33,4004 Micael Emanuelsson (Sweden) - €23,8105 Alexander Beeckx (Belgium) - €17,8006 Koen Lauwereys (Belgium) - €14,2007 Laurens De Smet (Belgium) - €11,7008 Vincent Van Oosterhout (The Netherlands) - €9,4009 Tom Dingenen (Belgium) €7,000
