Poker Journalist Defeats Poker Pro in the €200 PL 7 Card Stud/7 Card Stud Hi-Lo
As mentioned in the intro, this poker journalist had a day to remember both on and away from the felts. While unsure about how to play this format of Stud seriously in the one-day Event #15: €200 PL 7 Card Stud/7 Card Stud Hi-Lo but was the chip leader by the time the final table was reached and never looked back en route to victory.
The camaraderie at the final table was amazing. It reminded me of when this author was growing up in New Jersey, playing fun poker games on a kitchen table, where all you needed was a deck of cards and a bag of coins.
It was an absolute pleasure to play for hours with this author’s friend, Tarjei Forus, and meet WSOP Circuit Calgary ring-winner Darren Kennedy for the first time. Kennedy was nothing but classy the entire way.
Meanwhile, Nikolay Ponomarev and this author had plenty of fun and banter as this author cruised along to victory to claim the €3,010 top prize.
| Place | Player | Country | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Jason Glatzer | Lithuania | €3,010 |
| 2 | Nikolay Ponomarev | United Kingdom | €1,930 |
| 3 |  Darren Kennedy | Canada | €1,290 |
| 4 | Lee Horton | England | €920 |
| 5 | Joonas Lumijärvi | Finland | €690 |
| 6 | Tarjei Forus | Norway | €560 |
| 7 | Robert Kaggerud | Norway | €454 |
