Ben Wilinofsky win’s EPT Berlin
 SunPoker would like to congratulate our very own Ben Wilinofsky on winning the 2011 EPT Berlin and overcoming a field of 773 players over a 6 day period and take home the €825,000 ($1,192,000) first place prize.
Along with the impressive first place prize, Wilinofsky is on his way to the EPT Champion of Champions event held on May 13th this year with his overwhelming win the Main Event of the EPT Berlin, taking place at the Spielbank Berlin am Postdamer Platz.
Although an impressive online winning track, this was Ben’s first land based tournament win and hopefully many more to come his way.
As the heads-up phase of the competition got underway, Wilinofsky held a 7 to 3 lead over Heinzelmann and never relinquished his lead. Eventually, the decisive hand of the tournament was played after Heinzelmann with 8-9 pushed all-in on an 8-5-3 flop and was called by Wilinofsky with 6-7 and an open-ended straight draw.
A 9 on the turn then sealed Heinzelmann’s fate, who collected €500,000 for his runner-up finish, while Ben Wilinofsky was crowned the 2011 EPT Berlin Champion.
Delighted to have cashed in at his first live tournament in such style, Wilinofsky exclaimed while receiving the trophy, “This is ridiculous. How does this happen to anyone?” Later on, he then added to his Facebook page, “RIP legendary Hendon Mob page.”
Congratulations once again to an all-around great guy!
Here's how the final table finished up on Berlin:
1 Ben Wilinofsky €825,000
2 Max Heinzelmann €500,000
3 Vadzim Kursevich €300,000
4 Martin Jacobson €230,000
5 Armin Mette €180,000
6 Darren Kramer €140,000
7 Joep van den Bijgaart €100,000
8 Jonas Gutteck €66,000 |
