Event 22 Over! Jens Voertmann Riding High!
1 year ago
This HORSE event is over and it was Doug Ganger bucked off its back in runner-up position. In the closing hands Jens Voertmann, our champion, took the match by the throat with two big scooped pots during a round of Stud 8.
Going into the final hand Voertmann had his opponent on the ropes. In another hand of Stud 8 the last of Ganger's chips were in the middle by third street. Both players began the hand with pairs in the hole, fives for Voertmann and eights for Ganger.
By the time all seven cards were out both players had made two pair but it was Voertmann's that were best. Jacks and fives for our champ were enough to send Gangers eights and nines into the muck.
Jens Voertmann takes the bracelet and $298,227 while Ganger settles for second and $182,822.
We had a chance to talk with Jens after his win - check out the interview, or suffer the consequences!

Event 22 - Heads-Up Play Begins
1 year ago
A grueling three-handed match has finally ended, as the crowd favorite Marcel Luske has finally met his end.
Luske can't hold on, takes third.
Luske Loosened! (3rd)
Marcel Luske has battled valiantly for several hours, but his final table run has finally ended.
It was clear that Marcel was the crowd favorite. Every time the other players won a pot, there was either no reaction or light applause. Whenever the Dutchman won a pot, however, there was always hearty clapping - even when he was just stealing the blinds or antes.
After a brutal ound of Razz that saw him forced to put up the bring-in on half the hands, Luske was down to his last $200,000. All that got in the middle by fourth street on a Stud hand against Jens Voertmann, with the boards reading:
Voertmann: (J
9
) A
7
Luske: (9 5) 9 Q
Luske’s pair of nines held up all the way to the river, when Voertmann flipped up the A and dealt the death blow to he Dutchman’s tournament life. The crowd applauded and Luske shook his opponents’ hands. He walked over to get paid with a bittersweet smile and shake of his head; it’s obvious he wanted this bracelet badly, but tonight was not his night.
Luske finishes in third place, earning $110,264.
