The Fever In Riga Ends
Rigged in Riga has been a great success for the bwin team, and the numbers say it all. There was 5 in-the-money finishes, and our congratulations go out to eferoni1 (15th), ubiycaboli (13th), MARTINE62 (12th) and test135 (11th) for taking 1,141 Lats (€1,600) home with them. A special over the top congratulations though to Rigged in Riga winner, Wieringen. Not only did the Dutchman take down the 1st place prize of 20,541 Lats (€29,000), but he did it in emphatic style. Busting out the last 3 players in the space of 4 hands is an utterly astonishing acheivement, and having delved deep into my memory tank, I can’t think of another tournament where this has happened. Perhaps a phonecall to Guinness is needed to find out if this is somekind of new world record?
Wieringen celebrates his Rigged in Riga win!
I can only repeat the words of fellow bwin blog supremo, Seth Shafer “Well done, Wieringen!”.A fantastic tournament with a fantastic result, and from what I witnessed in the aftermath of the finale table…a fantastic night rounded Rigged in Riga off!
