Sunday, March 11 saw some excitement in the EPT9 London. Marc Dubach claimed the High Roller UKIPT winnings of £101,950. The final table was pretty tough, but he pulled through and now he’s feeling pretty good about his winnings.
Daubach was keeping company with top players like Martin Hanowski, Byron Kaverman and Zimnan Ziyard, but he still managed to pull through with his first six-figure win.
Daubach, has consistently played – and won smaller figures, but with a winning such as last night’s High Roller win, some speculate that he may be on his way up. While it’s not clear yet whether this is a sign of an upward trend, it still puts him on the list of players to watch.
Byron Kaverman, with career winnings of over a million, took second. Tom Hall came in at sixth, and while he won £18,050, he managed to jump in front UKIPT Player of the Year race, which got him a season of UKIPT Main Event Packages.
While UKIPT isn’t the main event of the London stop of EPT9, it’s added some thrills and intensity to London, and it looks like things are just getting hot. This year is just as exciting as it has been in years past and the location couldn’t be better. For those that love exclusivity, then the Vic is known for it’s poker. It earned it’s reputation in the 1960’s, when people would come from as far as the United States to be seen playing poker in this casino.
It’s been in business for 50 years, and it’s still going strong, even with the many other popular casinos nearby. The place is packed, and going strong, so it’s no wonder that EPT9 London is taking place here.
For many, EPT9 in London couldn’t be more exciting. Its merge with UKIPT has created, for many, a poker player’s paradise and it’s resulted in a mega festival that poker players and fans alike are sure to love. Plus, with so much poker talent in one place, and the tables so crammed into the Vic, there is non-stop action, stress and excitement this week.
Some of the biggest names in the EPT and the UKIPT can be seen concentrating, sweating; winning and losing, as well as many unknown players that we have yet to meet and discover. This is sure to be one of the most exciting stops in the EPT yet – and it’s all taking place in London, which has a friendship with poker like many other cities haven’t established.
Whether you choose your favorites to watch or you’re still deciding where to focus the attention, keep an eye on EPT9 because it’s likely that some up and comers will hit the radar by the time it’s all over.
