Der Amerikaner Alexander Ziskin sicherte sich letzten Abend das Bracelet im $1,5k-NLH nach einer wahren Heads-Up-Schlacht gegen den deutschen Spieler Jens Grieme. Nachdem die Beiden bereits am Vortag 200 Hände zu zweit gespielt hatten, kamen heute noch 90 hinzu. Am Ende triumphierte Ziskin und nahm etwas über 400.000 Dollar und sein erstes Bracelet mit.
Eckdaten Event #29: $1.500 No-Limit Hold'em
- Spieler: 1.796
Alexander Ziskin - Buy-in: $1.350 + $150
- Preispool: $2.424.600
- Sieger: Alexander Ziskin
Fast 1800 Spieler hatten sich ursprünglich bei dem kleinen NLH-Turnier angemeldet, so das über 2,4 Millionen Dollar im Preispool lagen.
Zwei deutschsprachige Spieler schaffte es bis ins Finale – Severin Schleser aus Österreich wurde Fünfter für 96.000 Dollar und Jens Grieme schaffte es bis ins Heads-Up, welches ganz verrückte Ausmaße annahm.
Am dritten Tag wurden in dem Heads-Up bereits 200 Hände gespielt, dabei war Grieme zwischenzeitlich auf rund einen Big Blind abgerutscht, konnte jedoch mehrfach verdoppeln und fand so wieder in das Spiel zurück. Am Ende ging er sogar mit einer leichten Führung in die nächtliche Zwangspause.
Letzten Abend trafen sich die beiden Spieler wieder. Die effektiven Stacks lagen bei 30 Blinds, so dass man eigentlich mit einem recht fixen Spiel rechnen konnte. Doch so schnell gab sich keiner der Beiden geschlagen.
Grieme begann zwar mit der Führung, doch Ziskin kämpfte sich schnell in front und infolge wogte das Spiel für mehrere Dutzend Hände gleichmäßig hin und her. So episch das Heads-Up mit seinen am Ende fast 300 Händen war, wirkte es phasenweise jedoch ein wenig langweilig – sah man doch nur Raises und Folds im Wechsel.
Die Paukensschläge kamen ganz zum Schluss: Ziskin hatte gerade eine recht komfortable Führung inne, da konnte Grieme mit A6 > 88 verdoppeln und hatte einen 3:1-Vorsprung. Doch mit dem ersten deutschen Bracelet bei dieser WSOP wurde es nichts, denn Ziskin konnte prompt retour ein All-In gewinnen: Grieme schob mit K7 all-in, Ziskin fand AK und musste nur callen. Nachdem der Flop Grieme keine Hilfe brauchte, waren die Stacks wieder fast ausgeglichen.
Gleich in der nächsten Hand fand Alexander Ziskin wieder AK, erhöhte damit und Jens Grieme schob mit A5 all-in. Erneut erhielt die Hand des Amerikaners und nun war Jens abermals extrem short. Gleich in der nächsten Hand war er mit QT all-in, Ziskin callte mit K8 und zum dritten Mal in Folge gewann Ziskin das All-In.
Damit stand der Amerikaner als Sieger fest. Etwas über 400.000 Dollar gab es für den ersten Platz, für Grieme gab es immerhin noch fast 250.000 Dollar – ein herausragendes Ergebnis für den Deutschen, der bislang zwar schon mehrfach bei der WSOP spielte, dem aber der ganz große Wurf bis gestern verwehrt geblieben war.
