Dank einer brillanten Vorstellung hat Max Heinzelmann bei der EPT San Remo den Finaltisch erreicht und nach seinem zweiten Platz in Berlin erneut die Chance auf den Titel. Am fünften Turniertag waren die letzten 24 Spieler ins Rennen gegangen und es wurden die acht Teilnehmer gesucht, die heute den Champion ermitteln.
Als letzter Deutscher im Feld belegte Heinzelmann den 11. Platz im Chipcount, doch nach verhaltenem Beginn gelang es ihm, bis zum Abbruch seinen Stack mehr als zu vervierfachen. Den ersten riesigen Pot gewann er gegen den Chilenen Nicola Yunis, der seinen Reraise mit einem All-In beantwortet hatte. Dabei zeigte Heinzelmann K K und war gegen die J 10 seines Gegners Favorit. Nach einem Board mit 6 9 Q Q K nahm er Yunis vom Tisch und überschritt die Grenze von 4 Millionen Chips.
Eine Stunde später nahm er auch den Weltmeister von 2009 vom Tisch. Joe Cada trat mit K 9 gegen Heinzelmanns Buben an und bekam auf einem Board mit A 4 6 10 4 nicht die notwendige Hilfe, sondern schied als 13. aus.
Und wenig später wurde auch Andrew Teng Opfer des Heinzelmannschen Laufs. Mit A 3 trat der Brite gegen die A 5 des Deutschen an, der mit 9 3 7 Q 7 seinen Flush produzierte und die zweite EPT-Finaltischteilnahme in Folge sicherstellte.
Am Ende waren es 7,885 Millionen Chips, die Heinzelmann erobert hatte, mit denen er knapp hinter Chipleader Rupert Elder aus Großbritannien, aber klar vor dem Rest des Feldes liegt. Ebenfalls im Finale mit von der Partie sind die letzte Dame Xuan Liu aus Kanada und Max Lykov, der noch die Chance besitzt, als erster Spieler den zweiten EPT-Sieg an seine Fahnen zu heften.
Nach den 500.000 Euro, die Max Heinzelmann in Berlin gewann, hat er jetzt bereits wieder 81.950 Euro sicher, doch die Ausgangslage verspricht deutlich mehr. Entschieden wird die EPT San Remo heute ab 12 Uhr, auf pokerstarsblog.de kann man den Finaltisch live verfolgen.
