Michael Martin is the WINNER of the London EPT, winning a massive £1,000,000 for an incredible performance in a tough field.
Michael Martin's recovery from the felt will rank as one of the great comebacks in EPT history. Reduced to 100k, just over one big blind,
Michael Martin went on an incredible rush, blitzing through his opponents with a series of great hands and smart plays.
He was almost unstoppable today, once he recovered from absolute dust.
Congratulations
Michael Martin!
Heads up, it was always going to be hard work for the Swede, Michael Tureniec, with a massive chip deficit and facing Martin, who seemed to have a direct hotline to God as he hit card after card. They played out a closely run heads up game though and Tureniec threatened many times to take control at times. Ultimately though Martin picked off a big bluff then won a crucial race to take the title.
Michael Martin played some great poker, which was enough to take down the crown. The final table was well played all round with lots of aggressive poker.
It's been really enjoyable to watch the carnage going on!
Floppy is ready with some photos of the heads up and final action which he'll be posting up shortly.
