GamblingPays is Pot Limit Champ as he Wins $19,470 in Ladbrokes Online Poker Festival

Last night, Ladbrokes Poker paid out over $70,000 in prize money in their 12 th Festival event the LEOCOP Pot Limit Championship. One hundred and sixty one players competed for a first prize place of $19,470 which was won after over seven hours of play by ‘GamblingPays’ from Essex, UK. ‘Jvsky123′ from Espoo, Finland came second winning $12,655.50.

Satellites for the last four of the 16 money added online festival events which include Second Chance Plus 2, Short Handed Championship, Heads-Up Championship and the Main Event are still running on Ladbrokespoker.com, which means that players can still qualify for all including the festival finale, the Main Event for as little as $1. With a massive $250,000 added to the $1000 + $100 NL HE tournament it really is worth a try!

‘Jysky123 ‘ and ‘GamblingPays’ both entered Heads-Up play evenly matched. However, the momentum of the game shifted as ‘GamblingPays’ hit quad 6′s and with his chip lead ceased control of the match.

Shortly after ‘Jysky123 ‘ raised pre-flop with kh-3h which, was called by ‘GamblingPays’. The flop came down 8d-Jh-9h. ‘GamblingPays’ checked and ‘Jysky123 ‘ duly shoved and ‘GamblingPays’ instantly called. ‘GamblingPays’ showed Ah-6h which meant he had the nut flush draw. ‘Jyesky123′ 20% chance of hitting never materialized as the turn revealed an As which crushed his hopes and ‘GambllingPays’ made top pair.

Edward Ihre, MD of Ladbrokes Poker commented: “The feedback from the players who have participated in our events so far has been brilliant. The festival has been our chance to showcase all that is good about Ladbrokes, European start times, great friendly community and some of the best value and well structured tournaments around. I think new players are smitten enough to play on [Ladbrokes Poker even when the festival ends and it has reaffirmed what Ladbrokes Poker is about to our regular players/community.
