Kenneth Smaron remporte le PokerStars Championship Panama (293,860$), Jonathan Abdellatif 4e
Niveau 29
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
La finale à 6 joueurs du Main Event PokerStars Championship Panama s'est étalée sur 170 mains dans la nuit de lundi à mardi. Alors que les 5 derniers joueurs en lice ont été chipleader lors de l'ultime journée de compétition, c'est finalement l'Américain Kenneth Smaron qui encaisse 293 860$ et le trophée.
| Position | Joueur | Pays | Prix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kenneth Smaron | United States | $293,860 |
| 2 | Harpreet Gill | Canada | $217,860 |
| 3 | Denis Timofeev | Russia | $161,340 |
| 4 | Jonathan Abdellatif | Belgium | $119,480 |
| 5 | Robin Luca Wozniczek | Germany | $88,480 |
| 6 | Anthony Diotte | Canada | $65,520 |
Le Canadien Anthony Diotte n'a tenu que trois mains avant de quitter la partie et n'a même pas rêvé d'un comeback. Diotte s'incline sur un flip contre Robin Luca Wozniczek. Ce dernier n'a pas tardé à s'emparer de la tête du tournoi à 5 left mais les tapis se sont équilibrés et l'Allemand termine finalement 5e pour 65 520$.
Robin Luca Wozniczek rend les armes avec une paire et un tirage couleur, payé par Jonathan Abdellatif qui dévoile un tirage flush inférieur et une ventrale qui se pointe rivière. Assurés de remporter un gain à 6 chiffres, les 4 survivants du tournoi vont tour à tour se porter en tête.
Abdellatif perd des plumes avec full max contre carré et ne va pas s'en remettre. Short stack, le Belge check-raise un tirage couleur mais Smaron paye avec top paire pour l'éliminer. Jonathan se console avec son meilleur résultat en carrière et un chèque de 119 480$.
Chipleader en début de finale, Denis Timofeev a perdu beaucoup de pots alors que le Canadien Harpreet Gill doublait opportunément. Le Russe sort finalement du tournoi à l'issue d'un flip perdu contre le futur vainqueur. Kenneth Smaron en profite pour débuter le head's up avec une légère avance.
L'ultime duel ne va durer que 9 mains puisqu'Harpreet Gill limp-shove 
pour se faire attraper par le 
de Smaron qui remporte le tournoi un tableau de briques plus tard !
Vainqueur d'un High Roller European Poker Tour à Prague pour plus de 600 000$, Smaron encaisse le deuxième plus gros prix de sa carrière. Il devrait probablement enchaîner avec l'étape du PokerStars Championship Macau, du 30 mars au 9 avril...
