Il perfait online et avait offert quelques flashs de talent lors de l'EPT Barcelona, l'Américain Ali Imsirovic a franchi un cap en remportant le 5e tournoi du Poker Masters à Las Vegas.

Le jeune homme a dominé un tournoi à 25 000$ l'entrée et surtout une finale où l'on retrouvait Jake Schindler, Jason Koon, Brian Rast et Daniel Negreanu. Almedin "Ali" Imsirovic a conclu la finale en trois heures avant de rapidement gagner son head's up contre Ben Yu.

Installé à Vancouver, le natif de Washington signe son plus gros gain en carrière et possède désormais plus de 1,6 million de dollars cumulés en live après un premier résultat remontant uniquement à novembre 2015. Triple vainqueur WSOP et lui aussi plutôt novice sur la scène high-roller, Ben Yu encaisse 330 000$.

Imsirovic paraît complètement lancé, la nuit dernière il s'est hissé en finale de l'Event #6 à 50.000$ l'entrée. Il a trois le stack de son plus proche poursuivant, Justin Bonomo, alors qu'ils ne sont plus que 6 sur les 47 engagés (799 000$ au vainqueur, le tournoi est à suivre en direct ici dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi)

Avec 7 blindes à l'entame de l'ultime explication, Daniel Negreanu a vite rendu les armes. Le futur vainqueur a ensuite logiquement sorti Jason Koon avec une main dominatrice préflop ({a-}{k-} contre {a-}{10-}).

Le plan à 4 s'est étalé sur presque deux heures. Il a été défavorable au patron du début de la finale,Jake Schindler. Après avoir résisté à un désert de cartes, Schindler a tout mis de petite blinde pour s'empaler sur Imsirovic en grosse blinde.

Chipleader durant la TF, Brian Rast s'est fait attraper par le futur vainqueur qui avait juste payer une relance avec {j-}{j-} au bouton. Rast a tout mis avec {a-}{5-} de grosse blinde pour terminer sur le podium. Confortablement en tête pour le dernier duel, Ali va mettre son adversaire KO en trois mains sur un flip.

Schindler and Negreanu at Opposite Spectrums on Final Table of Event #5: $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em

They played into the wee hours of the night but when all was said and done, another spectacular final table of six emerged into the spotlight. Daniel Negreanu barely survived elimination and will have his work cut out for him when he returns to his less than seven big blind stack. Leading the way will be none other than high-stakes regular, Jake Schindler after accumulating 2,725,000 chips.

Negreanu played the game of survival throughout most of Day 1, managing to reach his second final table of the Poker Masters thus far. In the second event of the series, Negreanu joined Schindler and Jason Koon on the final table as well but wound up finishing in sixth place. Looking for a different result this time around, Negreanu will have to come up with some magic and double up early to change his fortunes.

Meanwhile, Schindler is in a position he knows all too well, sitting at the top of the leaderboard. Holding one of the bigger stacks throughout most of the day, it felt like just another day at the office for the poker pro with over $21 million in career earnings. Among the six final tablists, Schindler is the one with the highest point total in the race for the Purple Jacket and will be looking to secure the maximum number of points to set himself up for a run at the title.

As mentioned, Koon will also be returning to a second final table with 905,000 chips along with Ben Yu (1,695,000) who made the final table of the Pot-Limit Omaha event. The other two players will be making their first appearance but Brian Rast (1,200,000) and Ali Imsirovic (1,615,000) are no strangers to the high-roller scene.

The action will continue on level 18 with a few minutes remaining in the level. The blinds will be 15,000/30,000 with a 30,000 big blind ante and each level will be 30-minutes in length. The players will return to the PokerGO studio at 12:00 noon and the livestream will begin one hour later. Everyone is guaranteed at least a $99,000 payday but will have their sights set on the first-place prize of $462,000.
