Yesterday, PokerCollectif announced you that Phil Ivey launched a coaching website. Among its coaches, Greg Merson, until then a participant to the final table of the WSOP Main Event the 2012! Yesterday, Greg Merson made better; He finished first of the tournament to reach the bracelet and 8, $5M went with!
The final duel took place between him and Jesse Sylvia who finished 2nd for 5, 2 M$!
In 3rd position, found Jake Balsiger who was eliminated by Mason while the Merson KQ held firm against the Balsiger QTo.
In the final hand, Mason pushed his opponent all in preflop then there Kd5d. Sylvia call with QsJs. Table 9d6c3h6s7c aida person and the Merson high king was enough to win the tournament! A nice publicity stunt for the new site of Phil Ivey to come!
Congratulations to the winners and a reminder to emphasize that Quebecers Marc-André Ladouceur alias "fenchdawg" finished 13th of this tournament a few months ago, to Pocket $ 465,159! It will be recalled that a very hard blow had been given while he had lost AK vs AK all-in preflop then that his opponent had done a flush! But, something some and on a slightly more positive note, with the talents of Marc-André, it is clear that we will continue to talk about it!
Next year!
