Joeri Zandvliet Wins UK Event in Pokerstars UK & Ireland Poker Tour

Joeri Zandvliet has won the inaugural UK event on the new PokerStars UK & Ireland Poker Tour.

Zandvliet takes home the £63,200 first prize and receives an entry into the £5,250 EPT London event which is the season finale to the UK & Ireland  poker tour. In addition to that he will also place first on the Season 1  UKIPT leader board which awards over £60,000 worth of added prizes to the  top 100 players over all of the events from Season 1 with the top placed  finisher receiving all of their buy-in and hotels for Season 2.


Zandvliet took just seven minutes to finish the heads up battle with Jack
Ellwood. All the chips went in pre flop with Zandvliet, who had a 2:1 chip
lead, holding pocket nines and Jack Ellwood holding Ace Queen. A queen
arrived on the flop to give Ellwood the lead but a nine on the river gave
the title and the £63,200 first place prize to the Dutchman.

College student Zandvliet, 21, of Utrecht, Netherlands was understandably
delighted to win his biggest live tournament to date. Zandvliet came to
the table third in chips and faced stiff competition from the rest of the
final nine with over eight hours of play at the final table.

Zandvliet was gracious in victory saying “I feel very happy and lucky.
There were five relatively strong players at the final table. Whatever I
did today didn’t really work too well but I managed to get lucky a couple
of times” he also went on to praise the organisation “The tournament had a
great structure and was very well organised.”eom
