After 19 days of tournament action, the second World Series of Poker Europe<\/strong> held at Kings Casino<\/strong> in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, has come to a close. England\u2019s Jack Sinclair<\/strong> closed out the series by winning the Main Event for \u20ac1,122,239<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s WSOP featured 10 bracelet events and almost \u20ac21 million in payouts. Several players scored their first bracelets and a couple took home their second of the year. The series featured plenty of action and big payouts to close out the last bracelet hunting event of the year.<\/p>\n It may have been his only cash of the series, but Sinclair made it count. He topped a field of 534 to claim his first bracelet.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like being in a dream at the moment,\u201d Sinclair told WSOP.com<\/em> after his win. \u201cThe whole week has been absolutely insane; just super smooth and not like any other tournament I\u2019ve ever played. I never really lost a big pot as far as I can remember and just got all the hands when I needed them.\u201d<\/p>\n It was his second deep run in a WSOP Main Event. In 2017, he finished eighth in the Main Event in Las Vegas for $1.2 million. This time he closed the deal.<\/p>\n During heads-up play with Hungary\u2019s Laszlo Bujtas<\/strong>, Sinclair dominated after both began with almost even stacks. Throughout the tournament, Sinclair went through occasional downswings but was often rescued by a big pot.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery time I felt like things were getting precarious I instantly won a big pot,\u201d Sinclair said. \u201cI\u2019m very happy with how I played and even more happy with how I ran!\u201d<\/p>\n One of the major stories was the success players from Israel, who won three of the first five events and also scored one third-place finish. Events kicked off with the \u20ac550 COLOSSUS<\/strong>, won by Israel\u2019s Tamir Segal<\/strong> for his first bracelet and only his second WSOP cash. The event attracted a field of 2,992 entries a $1.4 million prize pool.<\/p>\n It was another Israeli taking the second event as well with Asi Moshe<\/strong> winning the \u20ac1,650 No-Limit Hold\u2019em 6-Handed Deepstack<\/strong>, topping a field of 221 (prize pool of \u20ac318,074) for \u20ac82,280. Austrian resident Hanh Tran<\/strong> took home a bracelet in the \u20ac550 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed<\/strong> event (\u20ac59,625), which attracted 572 entries and \u20ac274,417 prize pool.<\/p>\n The fourth event featured some bounty hunting, with the \u20ac1,100 Turbo Bounty Hunter<\/strong> attracting 387 entries and a \u20ac371,326 prize pool. Ukrainian Mykhailo Gutyi<\/strong> took down the title for \u20ac61,000.<\/p>\n Yet another Israeli headed to the winner\u2019s circle in the fifth event, with Timur Margolin<\/strong> topping a field of 666 for \u20ac134,407 in a tournament that featured a \u20ac639,027 prize pool. The win continued a nice year for Margolin, who won his first bracelet this summer in Vegas in a $2,500 No-Limit Hold\u2019em event for $507,000.<\/p>\n In \u20ac1,650 Mixed PLO\/NLHE, Hungary\u2019s Norbert Szecsi<\/strong> took the title for \u20ac86,956 in an event with 241 entries and a \u20ac343,425 prize pool. The win secured bracelet No. 2 for Szecsi, who won a $1,000 No Limit Hold\u2019em event in Las Vegas in 2013 for $345,037. That was followed up with a win in the third event featuring Omaha, \u20ac2,200 PLO 8-Handed. Hong Kong\u2019s Anson Tsang won his first bracelet and \u20ac91,730 \u2013 topping 186 other entries with a prize pool of \u20ac358,853.<\/p>\n The eighth and ninth events brought some high roller action and Michael Addamo took down the \u20ac25,500 Super High Roller for \u20ac848,702. The event attracted 133 entries for a hefty \u20ac3.2 million prize pool. It was his second bracelet for the Australian, with the first also coming this year. In Las Vegas in June, Addamo won the $2,620 Marathon for $653,581.<\/p>\n In the \u20ac100,000 King\u2019s Super High Roller, the host country\u2019s Martin Kabrhel claimed the title and \u20ac2.6 million. The event brought in 95 entries with a prize pool of a bit more than \u20ac9 million.<\/p>\n New Players Get A Free Bonus At WSOP.com NJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSinclair takes Main Event<\/span><\/h2>\n
