Nach 50 vergeblichen Versuchen hat es für die deutschen Pokerspieler nun doch mit einem Bracelet geklappt. Carsten Joh aus Reutlingen errang beim Mammutturnier mit 2.781 Teilnehmern in No-Limit Hold’em den ersten Platz!
Johs Erfolg ist aufgrund der hohen Teilnehmerzahl umso höher zu bewerten, für ihn selbst dürfte aber das enorme Preisgeld von 664.426 Dollar das Wichtigste sein. Bislang errang Joh, der auch ein starker Backgammon-Spieler ist, seinen größten Poker-Erfolg beim Main Event der Irish Open im Vorjahr, als er Siebter wurde und 100.000 Euro gewann.
Lange Zeit operierte Joh am letzten Tag von Event 51 am Abgrund und lag eigentlich fast immer am Ende des Chipcounts. Zweimal schien das Turnier für ihn in der Endphase sogar schon beendet. Mit A J landete er mit Steven Levys A K und dessen größerem Stack im All-In und als der Flop 10 8 2 brachte, sah es für den Deutschen ziemlich mau aus. Die 2 auf dem Turn brachte neue Hoffnung und die Q auf dem River sorgte tatsächlich für die Verdopplung.
Einige Hände später war Joh wieder als Außenseiter All-In. Mit K 10 trat er gegen David Walasinskis A 9 an, konnte dieses Mal aber schon auf dem Flop mit K 10 8 aufatmen. Die 4 und 3 auf Turn und River sorgten für die abermalige Verdopplung.
Nachdem Joh Walasinski einige Hände später ganz aus dem Turnier genommen hatte, ließ er im Heads-Up gegen Andrew Chen nicht mehr viel anbrennen. Schnell erarbeitete er sich eine klare Führung, ehe es zur letzten Hand des Turniers kam. Nach Johs Raise ging Chen mit gut 2 Millionen Chips All-In und Joh callte mit 6 6 . Gegen Chens 10 9 gab es einen Coinflip, den der Deutsche auf einem Board mit Q 4 3 5 6 zu seinen Gunsten entschied.
Glückwunsch also an Carsten Joh, der diesen Triumph mit großem Kampfgeist erreichte. Und hier die offiziellen Endergebnisse:
