vincent582’s incredible run at the WPT Venice has come to an end in 3rd place with an incredible 159,740€ for his efforts! vincent582 achievement is simply amazing considering he qualified for this tournament on bwin through a freeroll and this was his first live tournament!

vincent582 had an amazing run at the WPT Venice

It was just an amazing experience for vincent582 to be the Final Table in his first live tournament

Our French team member had just been sitting back and watching the action unfold on the final table, moving up the payout structure with every bust. He got involved in his first and last hand when he was on SB and pushed his 400k into in preflop after Jacobson folded the button. Åström looked him up from BB and turned over AsQh to dominate vincent582’s Qh5d. The board ran out Jh6h6d2hAs and vincent582’s amazing WPT Venice journey was over.

Here is an interview with vincent582 after his bust;

It’s now a battle of the Swedes with Jacobson taking a decent advantage in heads up.
