The winner of last night's Ladbrokes Poker, $200+$20 PLO Omaha Championship ($10k added) tournament certainly hasn't had to wait for hell-to-freeze-over to cash big in one of the most prestigious online poker festivals - LEOCOP.
'Hehellover' 28 from Finland has only been playing online poker at Ladbrokespoker.com for little over a month and like 'james666' yesterday's Sunday Deepstack winner, has after a number of nominal placings clinched a win ('Hehellover' has played in a number of the festival tournaments, finishing in 17th place in the LEOCOP Opening tournament , 27th in the $50 Rebuy and 48th in the LEOCOP 2nd Chance Plus 1). He is now enjoying tournament cashes that total $22,865.55 and the real possibility of playing in Poker Million VII. The televised tournament screened live on Sky Sports 2 on December 15th.
Other familiar names that put in an appearance last night were Ladbrokes sponsored pro's 'ROYTHEBOY', 'JaffaCake' and '_Theah_'. Another player who won the festival tournament 2nd Chance Plus 1 'Sophiexxx' finished 25th, cashing $539.70 placing him in 10th position on the LEOCOP Masters Leaderboard and in the running for a share of the $14,000 in bonus cash that is up for grabs.
The story could have been oh so different for 'Hehellover', however a key hand played out early doors on the final table proved pivotal in his campaign to secure victory.
Heads-Up play commenced with 'Hehellover' enjoying a 2-1 chip lead thanks to him winning a tussle with 'Mutteri' who went out in third. The tournament was eventually won after the blinds passed back and forth between players. 'Hehellover' raised pre-flop and was called by 'ThomasToget'. the flop was Jc 7s, 3c 'ThomasToget' checked raised 'Hehellovers' initial bet of $66,000 to $264,000 - only to be re-raised all in for $462,000. 'ThomasToget' called and the rest as they say is history as 'ThomasToget' showed 6s 5s Qh 7c and 'Hehellover' showed Ad Ah 10s 10c. The turn was Jh and the river was Qd - his numerous outs did not materialise and as a result he went out in second with $13,492.50 and ended the night in 34th position on the LEOCOP Masters leaderboard.
