EPT Polish Open: Final Table
Ham 'n' eggs, wine 'n' cheese, an ace and a king – all great combinations. But poker players and daylight? They are not natural bedfellows but as Day 3 of the EPT Polish Open finished in a record breaking two hours and six minutes on Friday, our chip riffling friends were forced to contemplate the prospect of some pre-dark free time. Some players looked like they were worried they might suffer from Vitamin D toxicity due to the unforeseen exposure to Warsaw's sunlight.
Nine players will be bathed in the reassuring light of the Hyatt Regency's bulbs when play resumed at 2pm. Twenty-six hopefuls had began Day 3 but, as some were plunging their chips into the middle with the carefree enthusiasm of a Labrador puppy bounding into a pond, it was inevitable that some would regret the recklessness of their actions.
The first person to droop his head was Spain's Raul Paez, who was treated to approximately €8,130 for his efforts. The beleaguered Andy Black lost his last dogfight a short while later and walked away with €12,196. Presumably he will be pleased that Christian Oman, the man that cracked Andy's AA with 88, is represented at the final table.
Top dog was German Michael Schulze who, with 1,162,000, was hoping to sink his teeth into the juicy 1st prize of €609,782.
