Après Christopher Frank, Jens Lakemeier et Sebastian Langrock c'est le 4e sacre allemand de l'année sur les WSOP ! "C'est incroyable", a glissé Klatt en parlant de son succès. "C'est un rêve pour chaque joueur de remporter un bracelet. L'argent est parfois plus important mais un bracelet reste un bracelet. [...] Mon but ici c'est de gagner le plus d'argent possible mais c'est toujours sympa de gagner un tournoi", a commenté le vainqueur, habitué de la variante PLO en cash-game.
31 joueurs tous assurés de remporter 1341€ revenaient pour la journée de conclusion, mercredi. Klatt a juste joué : "J'étais concentré sur mon jeu, je voulais jouer chaque main de la meilleure façon. En début de finale j'ai perdu un gros pot contre Georgios Zisimopoulos et je pensais que c'était terminé. J'ai pensé que j'allais perdre et puis j'ai pris un pot ce qui m'a permis de me dire que cela pouvait encore tourner. C'était le moment clé de mon tournoi", termine celui qui a encaissé plus de 800 000$ en 2017 avec notamment une demi-finale sur le WPT Amsterdam.
