Victory for Spain!

5:12 - Finally we have a winner! Ismael Arribas, the Spanish player survived the avalanche and took home $200,000. After a very tight headsup, Ismael’s full house of Ks was enough to give the Dutch player Wing Kwok a second place and get the nice Avalanche check.

Our winner

The Three Winners - Wing Kwok, Ismael and Brice

Headsup time!

4:30am, we are at the climax of the tournament, the ship itself is shaking (it is really shaking)… and so all our players. Ismael and Mofox_IP are totally concentrated. All our players and guests are biting their nails. Both players are almost even.

Viva la France!

Two hands define, shortly later, Brice’s fate. He rises all in with AQ but Ismael instant calls when he spikes KK. The flop is a drama: AQ4, all of spades! Ismael has to relies on his King of spades for the flush. And the Turn is a spade! Still Brice has some outs for the Full House, but the river is a blank, and Ismael brings home a massive pot.
Few hands later, Brice is eliminated when his very small all in on the flop is called again by Ismael. The Flop is J75 with two hearts. Ismael has J9 for a top pair and Brice has A4 with the A of hearts. The Turn is a 2, giving Brice a gutshot and an overcard. But the river is a blank, and the French player is our bronze medal here at the Avalanche Final.

Our German Queen

Monica leaves the company in 4th position. Short stacked, she pushes with A K and she runs against Brice s QJ. The flop gives both the Q and the J to the French player who goes back in the hunt.

Dutch Player 5th

A short stacked Jelmer Attema pushes all in under the gun. The Spanish Ismael Arribas goes in the tank for a while then pushes all in as well. The blinds fold, and we have the showdown. QJ for Jelmer, A8 for Ismael. An Ace on the river, and Jelmer is out on the 5th place.
