Joris Springael Champion of the 3LT Grand Final

After 2 1/2 hours of Heads Up play we now have crowned Joris Springael of Belgium champion of the 2010 3LT Grand Final in Vienna. Joris went into the Heads Up with 1/3 of the chips of his opponent, Cristea Opria, but took the lead and control of the HU with one bad bluff from Cristea. One a board with 2sKcAc, Joris bet 200K and the Cristea called. The turn was 8c, Jorris bet 400K and Cristea raised to 1 million. After some time Joris went all in with nearly 1.6 million and Opria folds showing K3 off.

Heads Up

It's not even 20:00 and we have already reached Heads Up of the 3LT Grand Final. Alexander Debus of Germany is our 3rd place finisher tonight. Alex went out after going all in pre flop with AJ and was called by Cristea Opria holding AQ. The flop showed 793, the turn was a 5 and a 4 on the river could not save our German Everest Poker qualifier.

Three players left and these are the chipcounts

1. 1.455.000 Spingael
2. 2.301.000 Opria
3. 1.472.000 Debus (Everest Poker Online Qualifier from Germany)

Right in the next hand Holland loses a player

Rutgar de Boer shoves all-in with A8 and Joris Springael pays with AJ. Joris wins the hand by completing the straight. Rutgar ranks 4th at the 3LT Grand Finale and receives 47.600 €.

Bad luck for Team Everest player Valentin Messina

Joris goes all-in preflop and Valentin decides to call. Joris Springael has KJ off and Valentin shows AJ off. Val in the lead but the board is J2K K 9 - Full house for Joris and Val is left with just 65K while sitting in the Big Blind.
In the next hand Val goes all-in with 89 suited, Cristea Opria calls with KX. First Val hits the 8 on the Turn but the King on the river gives the pot to Cristea. Val is our 5th finisher with € 34.940.
