poker<\/a> tournament. He moved all-in with K-J, but dropped to the Q-Q of Alexandre Vuilleumier. For his performance, the Romanian pocketed \u00a3175,250 (US$201,397).<\/p>\nNext up, Roman Hrabec, who entered the event through an online satellite, fell in fourth place. Sinclair proved to have the upper hand once again, with his A-J squeaking by against Hrabec’s A-10. Hrabec had to go, but he left with \u00a3227,800 (US$262,787).<\/p>\n
That gave Sinclair a clear advantage in chips, and he was determined to use it as much as possible. Down to just three, he had a chance to control the table and put pressure on his two opponents, Hamilton and Vuilleumier.<\/strong><\/p>\nHis strategy worked, as he let the other two battle for position. They found themselves all-in preflop, with Hamilton’s Q-J off-suit going up against Vuilleumier’s A-Q off-suit.<\/p>\n
The flop and the turn gave Hamilton a straight to stay alive. Vuilleumier then left the tournament in third place with a prize of \u00a3296,150 (US$340,335).<\/p>\n
The British Battle<\/h2>\n The final heads-up would see two British greats fighting for the title. Hamilton gained the lead after taking out Vuilleumier, but the leadership changed from one player to the other on several occasions.<\/p>\n
Then, everything changed. Hamilton stared down at A-K; Sinclair was looking at A-Q. They shoved preflop, with Hamilton leading in chips, and the result was in fate’s hands.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe flop didn’t produce a match for either, and the turn didn’t help, either. It was down to one card to decide who would win. Sinclair’s only hope was a Q and, when it didn’t appear, he finished second for \u00a3414,650 (US$476,515).<\/p>\n
The next stop on the EPT will be in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, from December 7-18. There are a couple of high roller tournaments in the lineup, and the \u20ac5,300 (US$6,090) Main Event will run from December 12-18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
