*Denotes heads-up deal

Rasmus Glæsel n'a pas profité longtemps. Le Norvégien a été le premier sortant de cette Table Finale à 6 joueurs à l'Atlantis Resort, à la 7e main du Jour 6 après un flip perdu contre Cliff Josephy. Il faudra 99 mains de plus pour que le chipleader à l'entame de la TF, Michael Gentili, fasse doubler Aleksei Opalikhin.

Après s'être empalé sur les {a-}{a-} de son adversaire avec {2-}{2-}, Gentili se retrouve short et paye à tapis couvert avec {9-}{7-} après un open de Josephy. Le {k-}{10-} du November Niner fera l'affaire et le Canadien rejoint le rail plus riche de 140 940$.

Aleksei Opalikhin va perdre une grosse partie de ses jetons sur un lancer de pièce face à Cliff Josephy, toujours du bon côté avec {9-}{9-}. Le Russe sautera sur la main suivante contre Michael Vela, plus riche de 191 420$.

Michael Vela se hisse donc sur le podium 100% américain du premier PokerStars Championship Bahamas. Il squeeze à tapis avec {a-}{6-}... et se fait payer par ses deux adversaires. Christian Harder détient {a-}{q-}, Cliff Josephy {k-}{j-} et si Vela trouve un {6-} pour une paire, Josephy fait couleur à une carte !

Christian Harder and Cliff Josephy discussing a deal

Les deux derniers joueurs en lice s'arrangent financièrement tout en laissant le trophée et 10.000$ à la gagne. Le duel final commence avec un léger avantage pour le plus jeune des deux concurrents (12 contre 9 millions de jetons, ndlr) et Harder a rapidement et régulièrement pris des jetons à son ancien backer. Josephy va se retrouver à tapis avec {a-}{8-}, dominé par le {a-}{j-} de Harder, et ne va pas trouver d'aide sur le board.

Finaliste du PCA 2008 où il avait terminé 7e pour 200 000$ à l'occasion de son deuxième cash en carrière, Christian Harder fête son 10e trip aux Bahamas par une victoire. Ironie de l'histoire, Cliff Josephy était son sponsor en 2008 !

En plein rush depuis son accession à la finale WSOP, Josephy a aussi remporté un side event au WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic pour 163 250$ le mois dernier.

La deuxième étape du PokerStars Championship aura lieu le 11 mars au Panama. Le PokerStars Festival London commence lui la semaine prochaine, PokerNews sera présent sur ces deux événements pour vous faire vivre l'action !
