Gierse’s Road To Victory in Event #3
Although Marius Gierse began the final table with the shortest stack, he was pretty active early on and doing his best to fight for chips. After about an hour and a half of play, Gierse found a double up through Ali Imsirovic when his ace-king beat Imsirovic’s pocket nines.
After Sinan Unlu busted in ninth place, Andras Nemeth fell to Jason Koon in eighth place. Daniel Dvoress went out next, then Matthias Eibinger busted in sixth place.
Liviu Ignat fell in fifth place and Imsirovic went out in fourth to set up three-handed play between Gierse, Danny Tang, and Jason Koon. It was during three-handed play that Gierse found a double through Tang when his pocket kings beat Tang’s king-jack. Then Tang knocked out Koon in third place to set up heads-up play.
Gierse began heads-up play with the chip lead, as it was his 5,130,000 to Tang’s 2,875,000. From there, it was all Gierse and he worked towards sealing the victory.
On the final hand, Tang was all in preflop with ace-two against Gierse’s dominating ace-king. Tang flopped a flush draw but couldn’t improve and was left with a second-place result.
