Finally i hear good news about Ukraine! Oleksii Khoroshenin deserves to be congratulated not only for his victory but also for this big (bigger, in my opinion) achievement which is to make something good to be written on the media involving Ukraine. Things aren't easy around there, but at least about poker, they have someone who is very positive!

Congratulations to Oleksii Khoroshenin from Ukraine for being the last man standing at the European Poker Tour Vienna Main Event. The funny thing is that I can't say congratulations and about prize money as Marko Neumann from Germany won €638,127!!! This happened because when action reached three handed play a deal was made involving top three players of final board. As result Marko Neumann grasped the bigger amount of cash prize. Oh Oleksii Khoroshenin is first Ukrainian to first ever managed to win EPT title. Nice job.

A very prescient time for a Ukrainian winner to happen on the tour, I'm pleased. He might be able to run for president now. Nice take down and see what happens next leg.
