P.C.A. HIGH ROLLERS POKER CROWN GOES TO 21-YEAR-OLD
15 January 2010
Young poker pro bests a star-studded field of
84
The $25 000 buy-in Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure High
Rollers event came to a conclusion this week with a
21-year-old poker pro besting a field of 84 that
included many major international names.
Sioux
City, Iowa's William Reynolds outlasted respected
players like Lex Veldhuis, Italy's Dario Minieri, Justin
Bonomo, WSOP champ Joe Cada, Isaac Baron, Sandra Naujoks,
Greg Raymer, Peter Eastgate, Daniel Negreanu, Lisa
Hamilton, John Duthie, Mike Matusow, Chad Brown and last
year's PCA winner Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier to triumph
in the event.
The composition of the heads up
was decided when Adolfo Vaeza, an EPT London High Roller
event veteran, was eliminated by chip leader Reynolds,
leaving the young Iowan with just Will Molson standing
between him and the main prize of Euro $576 240.
Reynold's superior chip stack enabled him to
dominate the game, losing the lead briefly only once
when Molson doubled up. The pressure was irresistible,
and Molson soon found himself on the way to the cashier
and a second placing consolation prize of $322 075. It
must have been disappointing for Molson, who was the
runner-up at this event last year as well.
For
Reynolds it was a career high as he told reporters: “It
was the most roller coaster of a ride I’ve ever been on.
I was all in so many times at the end of Day 3 it looked
like I was going to be the final table bubble. I ended
up doubling up four times in a row and making it to the
final table, chipping up, winning some key hands and
taking it down.”
Other final table players were
Dmitry Stelmak, Tobias Reinkemeier, Matt Marafioti, Lisa
Hamilton and Michiel Brummelhuis.
