C'est le premier titre majeur de Manig Loeser qui dépasse désormais Benjamin Spindler à la All Time Money List allemande. Avec 4 millions de dollars amassés en live, Loeser s'est déclaré "très très heureux".

Manig Loeser battled back to even stack and with both players sitting on 32 big blinds it looked like the heads-up battle might become an epic one before a massive pot played out between the two players that saw the German snatch the chip lead.
Loeser opened the action from the button with a raise to 450,000 and Yong re-raised to 1,125,000. Loeser took his time over the decision but made the call, swelling the pot to over 2.3 million.
The flop saw Yong pull the trigger immediately and Loeser called so fast his chips left skid marks on the table and when the cards were revealed it was easy to see why.
Richard Yong:
Manig Loeser:
The German had hit the flop hard, spiking top two pair to overtake Yong’s pair of sevens and the Triton co-founder would need a great deal of help to win the hand.
Both players were on their feet and the rail crowded around sensing that the end may be near. The turn brought Yong no help and neither did the river and Loeser let out a huge sigh and a quiet under-the-breath ‘yes!’
Stacks were counted down and Yong found himself with chips left, but only two and dropped down to 50,000.
This was all in the middle the very next hand with Yong, holding , needed to win this hand and the next several to make a Lazarus-like return from the dead.
Loeser was holding and paired his jack when the flop fell . The turn was not the ace Yong needed to survive and the river saw the German earn his first major title and almost double his career tournament earnings in one fell swoop.
Yong will be unhappy at not being able to go the distance, but will not be too unhappy at making the equivalent of $1,440,806 for his runner up finish. Full write up to follow so watch this space.

Richard Yong has edged slightly in front of Manig Loeser in the early portion of their heads-up battle and while Loeser picked off a Yong river bluff with king-high, which was in front of Yong’s nine-high, Yong won a decent sized pot to edge into the lead in the very next hand.
Yong limped the button and Loeser checked the big blind and the dealer spread the flop, which Loeser led for 225,000.
Yong made a quick call and the turn saw the action go check , check to bring both players to the river.
Loeser checked it over to Yong, who fired for 500,000 and after thinking it over the German player made the call, but threw his hand into the muck face down when Yong rolled over for rivered trip threes.

Manig Loeser moved all-in for 3 million from the small blind and Peter Chan looked down at his cards and made a quick call.
Peter Chan:
Manig Loeser:
The two found themselves racing for close to 50% of the chips in play and the flop kept Loeser’s nose in front. The turn and river saw Loeser lock in the double and climb to 6 million while Chan was left crippled with just 100,000 in chips.
Despite doubling up the next hand from the small blind Chan could not do so again after moving all-in from the button for his last 200,000 the hand after.
Both Richard Yong and Manig Loeser made the call and checked it down the whole way with the board running out .
Chan showed , Loeser turned over and Yong mucked. Chan headed for the rail with the equivalent of $877,026 and we are now heads-up for the trophy and the title.

Richard Yong has been very active since play restarted after the break and has been playing his postion aggressively to pad out his stack still further.
However, Manig Loeser has managed to claw some back from the chip leader to overtake Peter Chan and edge back into second.
We picked up the action on the turn with over 500,000 in blinds and antes in the pot and the board reading just as Yong (big blind) checked the action over to Loeser (button) who checked it right back.
The yellow 5k chips were taken off during the break and the stacks colored up with pink 100k chips now in play. Yong picked up five of these and fired out a pot sized bet when the landed on the river and Loeser did not take long to call.
Yong chuckled and flashed and Loeser turned over to take down the pot.
