Rok Gostisa produced a fantastic comeback to take down the season-ending PokerGO Tour Championship title, recovering from 7th out of 7 in chips to scoop the $689,100 top prize. The overall Player of the year title and $200,000 went to Ali Imsirovic …
The concluding event of the year-long tour, presented by Guaranteed Rate, saw 46 entries paying $50,000 apiece in the hope of ending 2021 with a big win.
The ‘Who’s Who’ of the nosebleed tournaments included Alex Foxen, Bryn Kenney , Dan Smith, David Peters, Jason Koon, Justin Bonomo , Cary Katz and Ali Imsirovic.
None of these highstakes luminaries could make it past day one, however, although the final seven was far from star-free, with Jake Schindler, Dominik Nitsche and Sergei Reixach still in the mix.
Reixach brought the chip lead into the final table, with Gostisa bringing up the rear, but none of the seven players was really more than a double-up away from the top, or some trouble, if on the receiving end.
By the time Nitsche departed in 7th spot, Gostisa had already assumed the chip lead and he increased that by busting Ren Lin in the following hand…
Gostisa: 6♠ 6♣
Lin: J♠ 10♥
Flop: 2♦ 3♦ 9♦ Turn: 9♥ River: 3♠♥ ♦ ♣ ♠Next to fall was Jacob Ferro, again at the hands of Gostisa, and with the reigning WPT Player of the Year’s departure, the remaining four had locked up $¼million.Jake Schindler’s deep run ended when he ran his short stack into the biggest hand of all, his last 40k going in on the flop…Schindler: 7♠ 7♣ Gathy: A♠ A♥Flop: A♦ 2♥ 4♠ Turn: 10♣ River: 6♣♥ ♦ ♣ ♠Down to just three it was time to decide the podium spots, and it would be Sergei Reixach who finished third, all-in and dominated by Gostisa, the board of no help.That left Slovenian Gostisa heads-up against Belgium’s Michael Gathy, and when the end came it was a surprising one.Gostisa bluff-shoved pre-flop and Gathy called, saying: “No gamble, no future!” and laughing as he did so…Gostisa: 7♠ 6♠ […]
