Alexander the Great: Jung Won a Tidy Sum
The PartyPoker.com Million events are an annual live tourney hosted by Party aboard world class luxury cruise ships. Of the 171 total players who didn't qualify online through the site bought their way into the NL Hold'em Freeze-out event for $8,000. The majority of the entrants for the PPM VI were European, including a whopping 20% from Germany along. As a result it wasn't a shock to see only one non-European make the final table: Final Table Positions and Payouts: Position Player Country Prize 1 Alexander Jung Germany $358,280 2 Dominik Stopka Germany $285,583 3 Cory Albertson USA $159,235 4 Mika Paasonen Finland $119,425 5 Raymond Estall UK $92,883 6 Andreas Jorbeck Sweden $67,675 7 Johannes Strassman Germany $47,770 8 Peter Steinlesberger Austria $31,845 9 Kenneth Gregersen Denmark $21,230 Heads up between the final two was short and one-sided. Jung, after taking down a number of pots uncontested, got it all in with J-7against Stopka's A-9. The flop paired Jung's 7 and it held for the win. "This is my biggest live win so far. The structure of the tournament was perfect for me, and there were some very good players here. I had a lot of respect for Dominik. I had seen him play a great many hands, mostly without a showdown - and when he did have to show it was often something like aces - so he is a good player. However, I felt one or two others were a bit tight on the final table - perhaps wanting to try and climb the money positions." The winner's glass trophy was presented to the University mathematics student by Party Poker's "Ambassador of poker" Mike Sexton along with his first place prize. Look out for Jung at this summer's WSOP in Las Vegas, as he plans to use part of his newly earned bankroll to take a swing at the world's most prestigious poker tournament.
