SPT ARANJUEZ II: DREAMS COME TRUE

Sometimes dreams really do come true!

The winner of the SPT in Aranjuez was Thomas Gerardy, from France, who arrived in Madrid as an Everest Poker qualifier.

He started playing in an online satellite and won a $2,500 package to come and play in Spain.

When asked about his expectations in the first day he said “Everybody comes to these tournaments with the illusion that is possible to win, of course I knew that would be very, very difficult”, when we started the final table we asked the same question to the Parisian Engineer and he said; “I’m the player with least chips, only 15% of the table total, so I will probably be the first one to leave…”. Well Thomas, you were wrong!

After some good moves and some amazing all-ins he turned the table upside down and he was chip leader after 2 hours!

But the story won’t be complete if we don’t mention that another Everest Poker Qualifier, Marcus Eckhardt from Germany was on the final table too.

Marcus came in second after the heads up with Thomas and was also an online qualifier with Everest Poker.

At the end they both had a great weekend and a very profitable one too.
Congratulations to Thomas and Marcus!
