DANISH POKER CHAMPIONSHIPS einen langen Kampf ein.
Der neue dänische Pokermeister heißt Rasmus Nielsen. Er setzte sich bei der Danish Championship of Poker durch und fuhr einen Gewinn in Höhe von £96.000 ein. Nielsen wird von Betfred gesponsert und konnte sich im Heads-up gegen Stig Farholt nach nur drei Händen durchsetzen. Nielsens Kommentar: „Als wir ins Heads-up gingen, führte ich deutlich. Aber Stig ist ein ziemlich tighter Spieler, daher stellte ich mich auf
Ich raiste mit 4-2 offsuit auf 45k, und er callte. Auf dem Flop fielen J-5-2. Stig setzte sofort 55k. Ich callte, und auf dem Turn traf ich eine wunderbare 4. Diesmal machte Stig eine Bet über 100k. Er hatte noch 400k, und ich entschied mich, auf 225k zu erhöhen. Er dachte daraufhin ziemlich lange nach, pushte aber schließlich seine Q-J, und mit meinen beiden Paaren blieb ich vorne.“ Nielsen kann auf zahlreiche Online-Erfolge und
einige lukrative Live-Ergebnisse verweisen, darunter vier Finalteilnahmen bei EPT- und WSOP-Events.
Er erklärte: „Ich fühle mich sehr erleichtert.
Zwar hatte ich schon viele Topplatzierungen erreicht, aber es ist mein erster Titel. Es fühlt sich großartig an, es bis zum Schluss durchgezogen zu haben. Ich denke, ich habe bei anderer Gelegenheit schon bessere Leistungen gezeigt, aber diesen Sieg werde ich definitiv niemals vergessen.“
“He bet 100k this time, being around 400k
behind, and I decided to make it 225k. He went into the tank but eventually shoved it in with Q-J and my turned two pair held up.”
While Rasmus has enjoyed plenty of success online and enjoyed some lucrative results live with four final tables at EPT and WSOP events. He said: “It’s a big relief. I have had many top
finishes but never won a live title before so it feels great to finally go all the way. I think I have had better performances but this definitely will be one to remember.”
