Hungarian takes the cup in the LAPT Costa Rica
Valdemar Kwaysser entered the final table clad in 594k worth of chips. He sat along with the last 8 survivors, including online pros Ashton Griffin, Alec Torelli and Steven Silverman, who led the chip count with 831k.
Luck smiled on Kwaysser who was armed to the teeth with bullets as he went all in against Max Steinberg’s J 9 on an 8 8 9 flop, K turn and a 7 river. Thus bringing an end to the final’s heads up match.
Were internet players underestimated? The truth is the final table was filled with them, including two guys who were playing their first live tournament ever: Pawel Sanojca from Poland, who had only played cash games and Costa Rican’s Steven Thompson, who was the only Latin American sitting at the final table.
Poker giants such as Andre Akkari, Humberto Brenes, Isabelle Mercier, and the winner of the LAPT Rio event, Julien Nuijten, were all buried by the end day 2.
