Der junge Amerikaner Michael Gagliano triumphierte in den späten Samstagnacht-Stunden (Las-Vegas-Zeit) beim 25. Turnier dieser WSOP, einem $2,5k-NLH-Event, und sicherte sich sein erstes Bracelet nach rund 15 Stunden Spielzeit am dritten Tag des Turniers.
Eckdaten Event #25: $2k NLH
- Mitspieler: 1.045
Michael Gagliano - Buy-In: $2.250 + $250
- Preispool: $2.377.375
- Sieger: Michael Gagliano
Zum letzten Tag des $2,5k-NLH-Turniers kehrten von den 1045 Startern 24 zurück, um den Sieger zu bestimmen. Dabei ging es um fast 450.000 Dollar für den 1. Platz und natürlich ein goldenes Armband.
Unter anderem Adrian Mateos, Jude Ainsworth und der Russe Roman Korenev hatten es in den 3. Tag geschafft, doch keiner von ihnen schaffte es an die finalen zwei Tische. Mateos war der erste Bust des Tages als er auf einem AK43-Board mit A9 und Top-Pair all-in war, jedoch gegen Daniel Cookes AK machtlos war.
Besser stellten sich unter anderem der Ire Gavin O'Rourke (Platz 9), Niall Farrell (Platz 8) und auch der Franzose Remi Castaignon (Platz 5) an.
In das Heads-Up schafften es zwei Amerikaner: Daniel Cooke und Michael Gagliano. Die beiden begannen mit fast ausgeglichenen Stacks, doch Gagliano konnte in der siebten Hand des Duells mit einer Straße gegen Top-Pair verdoppeln und prompt stand es 11,5 zu 1,5 Millionen.
Daniel Cooke kämpfte noch gut zwei Dutzend Hände, konnte seinen Stack sogar einmal verdoppeln, doch schließlich war es um ihn geschehen: Mit KQ schob er über einen Raise all-in, Michael Gagliano callte mit A9, traf eine 9 im Board und konnte sich hernach als Sieger krönen.
Für Gagliano ist es der erste WSOP-Sieg seiner Karriere – für Cooke war der zweite Platz aber sicherlich auch ein großartiges Ergebnis, war es doch sein erster richtig großer Cash bei einem Live-Poker-Turnier.
