EPT Monte Carlo : Le Main Event pour Manig Loeser (603,777€)

Le Main Event du PokerStars & Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour à 5300€ se termine après une finale au long cours, un deal à 3 pour 1,7 million d'euros et la victoire du pro allemand Manig Loeser. Le jeune homme franchit la barre des 10 millions de gains en carrière après ce succès au Sporting de Monte-Carlo sur un field de 922 entrants.

Loeser s'impose face au Chinois Wei Huang qui a raté l'occasion de devenir le premier vainqueur pour son pays. Ce duo a passé un arrangement avec Viktor Katzenberger à 3 left après près d'une heure de discussion. Le deal laissait le titre et 78,061€ pour le vainqueur. Le trio securisait une large partie du prizpool de 4,5 millions d'euros.

Fort de son succès Loeser encaisse 603,777€. Un chèque bien mérité après 273 mains, samedi. Le jeu en 5-handed (après la sortie du Lusitanien Luis Medina) a duré plus de 9 heures!

Ryan Riess a montré son talent avec un call magnifique mais il a finalement rendu les armes loin de la victoire. L'Américain devra patienter avant d'être le 9e joueur de l'histoire à réaliser la Triple Crown (un succès WPT - WSOP - EPT).

*deal

Une bataille d'endurance et des fulgurances. Ryan Riess, Wei Huang et Nicola Grieco sont partis à tapis plusieurs fois sans perdre durant la session ! Medina a vite disparu de la finale, le chipleader à l'entame de la dernière journéee a lui lentement perdu pied. L'Italien Grieco a tenté le moove de trop contre l'amateur Wei Huang et si ce dernier a utilisé 5 cartes pour réfléchir, il a finalement pris la bonne décision. Tombé à 6 blindes, il a perdu un 60-40 contre Loeser pour rejoindre le rail sur la 198e main de la finale (5e).

De quoi donner envie à l'Américain de revenir : " je me suis amusé, je suis très content. Si tu es triste quand tu ne finis pas premier, tu vas toujours te sentir mal. [...] Je reviendrais d'autant que ma copine est européenne".

A 3 left, Manig Loeser a dominé pour perdre son avance sur les coups à tapis. L'Allemand va perdre son chiplead en jetant une quinte rivière sur une mise osée et gagnante de Wei Huang.

Le Chinois était légèrement en tête quand la discussion du deal a débuté. Elle s'est prolongée près d'une heure.

Loeser a ensuite gagné un flip contre Viktor Katzenberger. Le Hongrois s'est ensuite empalé avec {a-}{8-} contre le {a-}{k-} de Huang, provoquant le duel final.

Après que le chiplead ait changé de mains plusieurs fois, Loeser a finalement capté deux tiers des jetons. Pendant ce temps là la profondeur se réduisait, amenant le Chinois a faire tapis au tournant avec un tirage quinte par les deux bouts... en étant déjà mort puisque Loeser avait déjà la quinte au dessus. Un {a-} rivière ne va rien changer, la finale s'arrêtant après 16 heures de compétition.

Wei Huang Eliminated in 2nd Place (€552,056)

Niveau 36 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Wei Huang and Manig Loeser
Wei Huang and Manig Loeser

Wei Huang raised to 1,200,000 with {k-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Manig Loeser defended with {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} and both players checked.

Loeser caught exactly what he needed on the {10-Clubs} turn, improving his hand to a queen-high straight. Loeser led out for 1,400,000, Huang shoved all in for 8,025,000, and Loeser snap-called.

The sudden all-in-and-a-call had everyone jumping on their feet and the crowd gathered in anticipation of the upcoming river. Only a queen would save Huang's tournament life, but the {a-Diamonds} came instead and ended the hopes of the Chinese to win their country's first-ever EPT title. Meanwhile, the German rail, including the likes of Rainer Kempe and Koray Aldemir, celebrated their countryman's victory. Loeser ran off to Huang to shake hands and congratulate his opponent who battled him for fifteen hours today.

Huang's tremendous run came to an end in second place, similar to his close friend Haoxiang Wang's accomplishment in the 2018 EPT Barcelona Main Event, and the 34-year old recreational player from Shanghai received the biggest score of his career with €552,056.

With that, Manig Loeser has been crowned the 2019 EPT Monte Carlo Main Event winner! Loeser will take home €603,777 for his accomplishment.

The hand after losing the big flip against Manig Loeser, Viktor Katzenberger was in the small blind with three big blinds. Wei Huang limped on the button, Katzenberger shoved 1,175,000, Manig Loeser folded, and Huang called.

Viktor Katzenberger: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Wei Huang: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The flop was {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} to add the sevens to the eights as outs. Neither the {q-Hearts} turn nor {j-Clubs} river was one of them and the Hungarian said his goodbyes in third place. With the deal, Katzenberger will walk away with €529,707.

Huang Jams the River to Make Loeser Fold a Straight

Manig Loeser limped the {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Wei Huang checked his option with {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts} to see the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop. Huang checked out of turn, Loeser bet 250,000 and Huang called. On the {5-Clubs} turn, Loeser continued for another 850,000 and Huang quickly called.

Loeser got there with the {3-Clubs} river and bet 2,000,000 into a pot of 2,950,000. Without much hesitation, Huang moved all in for 6,550,000 and Loeser immediately tossed in a time bank extension. Another time bank followed and only then Loeser asked for a count on the shove.

Without using any further time bank, Loeser folded his seven-high straight and Huang claimed the pot.

All the Sevens; Chop the Pot

Manig Loeser raised to 500,000 on the button with {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Wei Huang called {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} from the small blind. With {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} in the big blind, Viktor Katzenberger three-bet shoved all in for 5,000,000 and Loeser folded.

Huang, who had Katzenberger covered, asked for a count. The Chinese was out of time bank cards after the earlier clash with Nicola Grieco, and called it off within the allotted time.

Katzenberger flopped huge on {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} to improve to trip deuces, but Huang still had the nut flush draw to win the hand. The {7-Spades} on the turn improved Katzenberger to a full house and his rail loudly celebrated and shouted: "Double up!"

Katzenberger went over to his rail and handed out fistbumps to each of his railbirds. As if he had jinxed it, the {7-Hearts} landed on the river for an improbable chop pot. It took the Chinese pair of Huang and Haoxiang Wang about two seconds before slowly realizing the pot was indeed chopped and everyone had a good laugh about it.

Down to his last 1,125,000, Ryan Riess moved all in from the small blind and Wei Huang called in the big blind, then walked to the rail

Ryan Riess: {q-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Wei Huang: {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop all but sealed the double for Riess, but the cruel {10-Diamonds} turn and {k-Hearts} river run out gave Huang a straight and Riess was eliminated in 4th place for €265,620.

Nicola Grieco Eliminated in 5th Place (€206,590)

Manig Loeser and Nicola Grieco
Manig Loeser and Nicola Grieco

On hand #197 of the final table, more than nine hours after Luis Medina had busted in sixth place, it was Nicola Grieco who shoved all in for 1,475,000 on the button. Manig Loeser was in the big blind and considered calling off the six big blind shove.

"I'm gonna gamble," he said after twenty seconds.

Nicola Grieco: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Manig Loeser: {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Rainer Kempe, who had just won the €25,000 High Roller, came over to support Loeser. The {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop was as perfect as they'd come for the German high staker, and Grieco got up from his chair. The {j-Diamonds} on the turn sealed it for Loeser, which rendered the {a-Diamonds} on the river moot.

There were plenty of players at risk over the course of nine hours, but finally, one of them was gone from the EPT Main Event. Grieco took home €206,590 for finishing in 5th place.

Huang Burns Five Time Banks, Makes Correct Call

Niveau 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Wei Huang

In the previous hand, Wei Huang raised to 400,000 from under the gun with {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Viktor Katzenberger had {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} on the button and three-bet to 1,050,000 with the blades. Both the blinds and Huang snap-folded.

The next hand, Nicola Grieco raised to 500,000 and Huang called out of the big blind. On the {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, Huang checked and Grieco instantly shoved it in, covering Huang's stack. It was 3,700,000 total for the Chinese if he was to call it off.

Huang burned through all of his five (!) time bank cards before calling it off for his tournament life.

Nicola Grieco: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Wei Huang: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Grieco revealed first and Huang slammed his hand open on the felt after seeing he was ahead. The {4-Spades} on the turn added extra outs for the Italian, but the {8-Diamonds} river was safe for Huang, who celebrated the double-up with Haoxiang Wang on the rail. Grieco gave the Chinese pair a death stare and added some words in Italian before sitting back down.

Manig Loeser limped the {6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Ryan Riess checked with the {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}. They checked the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop and the {j-Clubs} turn.

On the {9-Hearts} river, Loeser bet 1,500,000 which had Riess's 980,000 covered. The 2013 WSOP Main Event champion used a time bank before making the call with his ten-high to double.
