The European Poker Tour San Remo final table featured four players who had made it to EPT final tables before. But an American who qualified online beat them all.
Jason “treysfull21″ Mercier won the event, cashing for $1.34 million in winning his first live poker tournament win.
The final table took just three hours from first hand to last.
Here’s how heads-up play went, according to wickedchopspoker.com:
Anthony Lellouche finished in second place for $779,215. Mercier had a big chip lead entering heads-up play, and the heads-up battle only lasted two hands. The two players got all of their chips in the middle with Lellouche holding a pair of sevens and Mercier holding K-Q offsuit. The flop was a great one for Mercier as it came A-Q-4 with two spades, giving him middle pair and the highest spade in case running spades came on the turn and river. The turn and river ended up being the harmless 8 and 2 of clubs, and Mercier secured the victory.
Dario Minieri, who gained fame at last year’s World Series of Poker main event, entered the final table as the chip leader but finished in third place for $443,767. He was eliminated by Mercier.
