The 2012 PokerStars.net Asian Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main Event has come to an end. Andrew Kim, from the USA, emerged victorious over the 268-player field. After a deal was made, Kim earned KRW145,000,000 for the win.

When the third and final day began, 16 players remained. After a few hours of play, the field was down to nine and the final table was set. Things had moved along steadily for the first part of the day and the first elimination at the final table was 2012 Aussie Millions runner-up Kenneth Wong.

During Level 21 with the blinds at 8,000/16,000/2,000, Wong was all in preflop with Andrew Kim Wins 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main EventAndrew Kim Wins 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main Event versus Vincent Rubianes’ Andrew Kim Wins 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main EventAndrew Kim Wins 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main Event.

He was followed out the door by start-of-the-day chip leader Daisuke Endo, who fell at the hands of Germany’s Moritz Ortmann.

In fifth place, Sasa Zorc was eliminated and that left just four players. Joining Kim, Rubianes and Ortmann was Rafael Rodrigo.

From there, Ortmann fell in fourth place and then Rodrigo in third, leaving Rubianes and Kim heads up for the title. When the duel began, Kim had the edge with 3.005 million in chips to Rubianes’ 2.12 million.

For nearly all of the heads-up match, Kim seemed to be in control. He picked his spots well and chipped away at Rubianes steadily. When the final hand came up, all of the money went in preflop with Kim holding Andrew Kim Wins 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main EventAndrew Kim Wins 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main Event to Rubianes’ Andrew Kim Wins 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main EventAndrew Kim Wins 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main Event.

European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads

The final 24 players of the PokerStars.net European Poker Tour Berlin returned Saturday for the penultimate day of play. The field was led by Daniel Pidun with 2.429 million, just ahead of Max Heinzelmann and PokerStars Online Qualifier Ben Wilinofsky. After about nine hours of play, however, Wilinofsky emerged with the chip lead and will be leading the final tablists on Sunday.

Wilinofsky made all the early running on the feature table winning a race with jacks against Gerado Muro’s European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads, and then never needed to look back. He then eliminated Markus Grewe, getting the German to move all-in on a flop of European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads with European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads when the Canadian youngster had flopped a set of nines. Without much trouble, Wilinofsky had almost doubled his stack in just one level and was the first player to surpass the 4 million mark.

Meanwhile on the other table, Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho had an rough start, losing a chunk of his stack in the very first hand of the day, when he doubled up Jonas Gutteck with European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads, no good against the German player’s European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads. Pinho was eliminated in 20th place, his best ever finish, when his European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads came unstuck against Max Heinzelmann’s European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads in a pot worth about 1.2 million chips.

Heizelmann gradually began to dominate the outer table in a similar way to Wilinofsky’s total control of the TV table. Heizelmann opened a lot of pots and it became hard for others, such as double EPT runner-up Martin Jacobson, and the end of Day 2 chip leader Fabrice Soulier, to get a foothold.

Konstantin Puchkov, who placed third at EPT Barcelona was eliminated in 17th place, when he ran pocket eights into Jonas Gutteck’s pocket aces, while Jeffrey Hakim quickly followed him out of the door in 16th. Kristijonas Andrulis, who won two side events in Tallinn and another in Vilamoura, went out in 12th place after he lost a race to Martin Jacobson. Jacobson has managed to make his third final table of this EPT season alone, an incredible feat in its own right, but he must be thinking that this should be his time.

Just before the dinner break, Fabrice Soulier was knocked out in 11th. He committed his stack with European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads on a European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads flop against Vadzim Kursevich’s European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads but the board bricked out with the European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads turn and European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads river and a very disappointed Frenchman was sent to the rail.

Refreshed and rejuvenated after a 90-minute break, the final ten players returned to play. Ten minutes later, after Cuello Jorge Mariano’s push with European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads was called by Heinzelmann’s European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads and failed to spike, we were down to a single table.

The final table bubble can be a long and drawn out affair, lasting several hours as a dynamic sets in and players vie for control of the table.

Not this time.

It only took 15 minutes for Armin Mette to be dealt European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads when former chip leader Daniel Pidun had picked up European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads and the two didn’t take long to put all the chips into the middle. Pidun was covered and it looked dead and buried when the flop came European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky LeadsEuropean Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads but it got very interesting on the European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads turn. Pidun just needed the board to pair to complete a miraculous comeback but the river was the European Poker Tour Berlin Day 4: Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky Leads and the German was our final-table bubbler.
