Created by the Poker Stars download, the European Poker tour (EPT) has done a great job of bringing poker to different parts of the world. Just recently, the EPT held its first ever tournament in Loutraki Greece. This event enjoyed the participation of 336 players over two Day 1s. The buy-in was €4,400, which meant that first place was a handsome €347,000.

The final table of this event had 8 players, and the first person to bust was Mario Puccini. Known as Pokerccini online, he put the last of his chips in the middle with KQs. He was unable to outrace A8o, however, and busted in 8th place.

A huge pot involving three players took place a short time later. Pierre Mothes raised preflop, and he was 3-bet by Hauke Heseding. This was followed up by a cold 4-bet jam from Andras Kovacs! If you are a Craps online player, you might not be used to such crazy excitement at the tables.

Mothes could not handle all the bets and ended up folding. Heseding, however, had QQ and called. Kovacs flipped over AK suited and the two were off to the races. Despite turning overcards with a flush draw, Kovacs couldn’t connect with the board and busted in 6th place.

Despite making a good fold, Mothes was next in line to bust. He flopped top two on a monotone board, but Zimnan Ziyard flopped a flush. Mothes couldn’t boat up and was eliminated in 5th.

They say that to make a lot of money playing tournaments, you must be good at flipping coins. Heseding made a strong case for this by getting into another coinflip and winning again. Florian Schleps was the victim, and he was eliminated in 4th place.

John Taramas had a healthy Greek cheering section in the room, and they were forced to have their last harrah when Taramas busted in 3rd place at the hands of, again Heseding. Taramas went all-in preflop with 97s and was called by ATo. He couldn’t hit and Heseding gained even more chips.

Heseding was on a roll, but Ziyard wasn’t intimidated. An entertaining heads-up match ensued, and it seemed only fitting that the biggest hand of the night consisted of a huge Heseding bluff that was looked up by Ziyard. The bluff left Heseding with just 1bb, so his tournament was all but over. Congratulations to the first ever EPT Loutraki champion, Zimnan Ziyard!
