Thew wins EPT: Baden Classic

2007-10-11 09:48:49

Julian Thew lifted his first-ever European Poker Tour title on Wednesday, in Baden, Austria.

The Englishman was the last man standing after the four-day tournament which began with 282 participants.

He takes home a prize of €670,800 ($872,040).

Thew entered the final day in second place behind Vladimir Poleschuk, who quickly set about dominating the table.

Vladimir eliminated Anton Alleman (€60,000) on the first hand of the day, and then took out Ted Lawson just a few hands later (€83,600).

Poleschuk's game began to drop off, however, while Thew's only grew stronger.

Manfred Hammer was eliminated next (€132,900), followed by Thierry Van Den Berg (€132,900) who ended in 5th place.

Thomas Fuller went out in fourth (€160,820) and finally Poleschuck was eliminated in third place (€225,000), leaving Thew and Denes Kalo left.

Kalo (€375,000) went all in with the short stack and Thew walked out as champion.

It's the biggest win of Thew's career.
