EPT WARSAW ENDS IN TRIUMPH FOR THE FRENCH
30 October 2009
A respected victory over some of poker's best
for Benzimra
French entrepreneur and poker player Christophe Benzimra,
who had only two prior live tournament cashes to his
name, surprised them all at the Pokerstars European
Poker Tour Warsaw in Poland over the weekend, sweeping
all before him at the final table.
The week long
tourney had attracted some of the biggest names in
online and live poker to its 203 registrations and over
a million euros prizepool (see previous InfoPowa report)
but the Frenchman bested them all to win the main prize
of 1,439,170 PLN - around Euros 344 338 after a brief 30
minute heads up against online champ Alfio Battisti.
The big win substantially boosts Benzimra's career
earnings, which previously stood at $44 714, and was his
first EPT title.
Sunday's final table comprised
Oleksandr Vaserfirer who initially held the chip lead on
1 854 000, followed by Luca Pagano and Clayton Mozdzen
on 984 000 and 978 000 respectively, Ruslan Prydryk (658
000), Alfio Battisti (552 000), Christophe Benzimra (465
000), Anatoly Gurtoyov (332 000) and Alexander Klimashin
(266 000).
Benzimra's prize included a Euro10
000 seat into the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo next
year.
