The 2017 partypoker LIVE German Poker Championship Super High Roller attracted 28 runners who each ponied up the €25,000 buy-in at King’s Casino. The event paid out the top 3 places with the €350,000 top prize assured to the winner. The event was taken down by Jack Sinclair who defeated Tony G in the heads-up battle after the two agreed on a deal that saw Tony securing €300,000, while Sinclair sealed €240,000. They left €10,000 and the trophy for the winner.

Sinclair is having quite the year as he made it to the final table of this year’s WSOP Main Event finishing eighth for $1.2 million. This result, along with the €30,000 he picked up from his fourth-place finish in the High Roller event only proves that Sinclair is on his way to becoming one of the more recognized pro’s. He was understandably stoked to have beaten such a big name as Tony G in such a prestigious event.

Sinclair entered Day 2 in third position on the leaderboard. He held the helm steady throughout Day 2, as the field trimmed down to the final nine players.

 

Final Table Recap

Sinclair’s stack at one point of final table came down to the bottom of the pile but after doubling through Yair Bitoun he never looked back, taking big pots off the big names until there were just four left.

The last four seemed equally matched for a long time until the eventual runner up finisher Tony G sent Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier and Steffen Sontheimer to the rail in quick succession.

On the money bubble, Grospellier shoved holding running into Tony’s . Grospellier didn’t pick up any help on the board and exited the event.

Moments later, Sontheimer shoved with and he was in great shape to double through Tony G’s but Tony managed to pair up on the board , knocking out Sontheimer in third place.

Tony G and Sinclair then agreed to a deal with Tony getting €350,000 and Sinclair securing €240,000 with the winner getting the additional €10,000 and the trophy.

Just 30 minutes later, it was all over. Sinclair fought his way to a small chip lead and the last hand of the event saw his against Tony’s . He rivered a miracle three outer to take down the event finally.

While Tony G walked away with the bigger share of the prize pool, it was Sinclair who posed for the winner shot with the trophy.
