FullTilt Poker Merit Cyprus Classic: 25k freeout
After 3 days of play, it is ultimately the Serbian Perica Bukara who took top honors and gets away with a prize of $ 373,307. Ori Miller finished second: who managed to get an advantage of 2: 1 on Bukara during the headsup, Miller was unable to finish his opponent and had to settle for second place and $ 207,337. Both players were clearly very tired and were eager that the tournament ends. The final hand, while both players were virtually tied, was this:
With blinds at 40k/80k, Miller raised to 180k with As-Jh. Bukara has reraised all-in with Kh5h and Miller made the call.
3h-9d-7s flop was favorable to Miller, but the turn was a 5s giving a pair Bukara. Miller had to hit one of his remaining six outs, but the river was a simple 7s, giving the victory to Bukara.
The redpro FullTilt Andrew Feldman finished in 3rd place ($ 124,402), followed by David Benyamine ($ 82,935) in 4 th place. The online player Jon Turner, aka Pearljammed, finished in last place and pay and pocketed $ 41,467.
