A big congratulations to Robin Ylitalo, the winner of the 2013 PokerStars European Poker Tour London Main Event!

In comparison to the ladies event in paris this 1st prize looks gigantic. Probably had a way bigger field also... Man, what I wouldn't do with £560 980.... PCA for a little sunshine?!? definitely

I watched this most of the way through and from the final table Ylitalo definitely deserved to win although he also got quite a few sick hands.
The Leo guy essentially shove folded his way to third, simply played very cautiously and climbed the money.
Was hoping Geilich would do better but he got too aggressive and his image killed him - he donked out with a Q8s steal or something stupid while still holding a decent pile of chips which Ylitalo got.
watched the full 8hrs was an awesome final table with karakousis, playing some mad poker and leo mclean they should call him the allin king lol i think it would have been just as exciting to watch wthout the cards face up
