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.

5Robin Luca WozniczekGermany$88,480
6Anthony DiotteCanada$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 {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} pour se faire attraper par le {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} 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...

Heads Up Harpreet Gill and Kenneth Smaron
Heads Up Harpreet Gill and Kenneth Smaron

Hand #170: In the 9th hand of heads up play, Harpreet Gill limped in with {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Kenneth Smaron wasn't settling for that and bumped it up to 350,000 with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Without much hesitation, Gill moved in for 2,615,000. Smaron asked for a count and contemplated what to do for a bit before he decided to go for it and call.

The pot was 5,250,000 and Smaron was the slight favorite but Gill was very much live. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, giving Smaron a royal flush draw while Gill picked up a gutshot but lost the tens as outs.

The {9-Diamonds} on the river was inconsequential and so was the {5-Spades} on the river. and just like that, after just 20 minutes or so of heads up play, a champion was crowned. Harpreet Gill had to settle for second place, banking $217,860.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}, and the river was the {8-Hearts}, sending Abdellatif home in fourth place for his first-ever six-figure cash for $119,480.

Robin Wozniczek
Robin Wozniczek

Hand #35: Jonathan Abdellatif raised {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to 100,000 from under the gun. Robin Luca Wozniczek called from the small blind with {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Denis Timofeev came along with {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} from the big blind.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, hitting all three in some sort of way.

Action checked to Abdellatif and he continued for 160,000. Wozniczek check-raised to 380,000 and action was back on Abdellatif as Timofeev folded his bottom pair. The Belgian player thought about it for a bit before he shoved all in for 1,760,000. Wozniczek snap called for 1,590,000 leaving Abdellatif with just 170,000 if he would lose.

The {J-Clubs} on the turn was a blank, making Wozniczek a 70% favorite. The {4-Spades} on the river, however, gave Abdellatif the winning straight and Wozniczek departed in 5th place.

The remaining four players are now guaranteed $119,480.

Hand 3: Robin Luca Wozniczek found {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} under the gun and he made it 70,000 to go. Action folded around to big blind Anthony Diotte rather quickly and he shoved for 450,000 with {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Wozniczek called just about right away.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}, just about settling it with Diotte down to 1% equity to win the hand.

The {A-Clubs} on the turn paired him but that wasn't going to be enough, he said his goodbyes as he was drawing dead. The {8-Clubs} on the river was inconsequential and there just to make things official.

The remaining 5 players are now guaranteed $88,480.

Canadian player Anthony Diotte knows what it's like to win a tournament in Panama City. The 30-year-old pro from Windsor emerged victorious in the $5k High Roller held during the Latin American Poker Tour stop here three years ago, banking $62,895 for his victory. To date, Diotte has amassed more than $300k in total live cashes, with nearly half of that coming courtesy of a fourth-place finish in the 2015 WSOP $1,500 Extended Play event. Diotte's online results are solid, too. He plays as "Otter8759" on PokerStars, and his best online result is $144,565 for a fourth-place run in the 2013 SCOOP-02-H: $2,100 NL Hold'em.

So far, little is known about Robin Wozniczek, another product of the fertile German school of poker. A number of his country’s best players have found their fame on the PokerStars TV broadcasts over the past decade, and Wozniczek may well be another superstar in the making. He's the youngest player in the remaining field, having just celebrated his 22nd birthday on Day 3 of this event. Wozniczek hails from Saabruecken, the same hometown as Fedor Holz, who is arguably the biggest poker star of the last few years. Wozniczek won his PokerStars Championship Panama Main Event seat on PokerStars, and has already secured at least $35,920 for his efforts here this week.

Seat 3: Denis "NEWFlat" Timofeev, 29, Perm, Russia, PokerStars qualifier

Denis Timofeev
Denis Timofeev

Denis Timofeev’s first 15 minutes of fame came when he made the final table of the IPT7 Malta Main Event. The Russian pro, now 29 years old, finished in eighth place there, collecting €16,030. Since then, Timofeev has racked up significant results in multiple EPT side events. He banked €35,560 for a runner-up finish in the €1k at EPT12 Prague, then returned to Malta last October to seize his first silver spade. His win in the €2k side event was good for €64,600, his largest live result to date. Timofeev also scooped another €51,100 at EPT13 Prague, finishing second in the €5k Turbo. He'll crest $300k in live tournament winnings with this PokerStars Championship Panama result.

A fan of his hometown football club, Amkar, Timofeev has notched some hefty cashes on PokerStars, as well. Using the moniker "NEWFlat", he is one of Russia's top online MTT grinders, with results that include a six-figure Super Tuesday title and a third-place finish in a Sunday Million.

Jonathan Abdellatif

Belgium’s Jonathan Abdelattif is a 32-year-old poker enthusiast from Aalst, a small city halfway between Ghent and the capital city of Brussels. He has more than $750k in career tournament earnings, an impressive number considering his record is so far lacking a six-figure cash.

Abdelattif’s best score to date is a 2009 victory in a €1k event in Austria for €50,350, and he’s posted results all over the world, including in South Africa, Morocco, Australia, and all across Europe. He added Panama to that list earlier in this Championship, too, finishing in fourth place in the $330 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event just a few days ago.
