Mark Teltscher WINS - trophy and £280,000 first prize!

Jonas Helness takes second and £145,740


The hand which sealed the deal involved a flop of  qd Two Diamonds  .  A bet from Mark of 50,000 was raised by Jonas on the button to 180k, with a call.

The turn card:  jc - and here's where it all took off, getting both enormous stacks all-in.

Mark showed  jd jc, Jonas  kd   With just 7 outs, it was perhaps unsurprising that the river was a blank and Mark's slight chip lead gave him the victory.

Jonas is just 18 years old, but it looks like he's just been biding his time to take on the world of tournament poker.  Calm and considering, I was very surprised to find out his age and that this is his first big tournament.

As for Mark, Rolf ran into him in the loos and he admitted that he barely plays once in six months!  Quite a pricey recreational tournament, then.  But he won it, so who cares?  He says in his interview that he was "very confident" when he came to the final, and his row of friends I am sure have supported him and he's taking them out to dinner now to say Thanks.  He also says that he wants to keep poker as a hobby as it's very addictive, so you'll probably only be seeing him on the circuit "two or three times a year."  Goodness.

Rhowena is interviewing a deadpan Jonas, and here comes the man of the minute Mr. Kendall, doubtless to start working instead of having a night off like he deserves.

Fwiw Mark Teltscher was on my table at the start and seems like a really nice guy. Said he was more of a backgammon player and a friend of Gus... Well done to him.

It's the early hours of Tuesday morbing, & I have just finished reading this.

Jen is just such a Super Updater.

Big thanks to everyone at The Vic, Grosvenor Casinos, & Rank, you were soooo helpful. Ditto to the two Rolf's.

OK, now I'm gonna read the Gutshot thread, which I never even knew was happening on Sunday - and I was there! It's 0230 Tuesday now, & I leave for Austria in just over 2 hours. Life's exciting, 'innit?
