Huge congratulations go to Jens Lakemeier from Germany who won the $2,500 Big Bet Mixed event in Las Vegas. German players are a force to reckon with, indeed. When you look at the results of the major tournaments (both live and online), you will almost always notice a German player at the top of the payouts or near the summit.

Never heard of Big Bet Mixed too, but gratz to this young poker pro for his first bracelet winning at the WSOP! The first time winning was unforgetable and a cash winning over 112k gives his bankroll a nice push i think.

With all the big prizes we read lately, this one with a bit more than 100k, is not even news But a good return for the buy in, no doubt about that. His overall winning look good so far, closing to the million.
Jens Lakemeyer is certainly a good player and of course he invested quite a lot of money he needed to play either right or wrong ... he played correctly and eventually won good money ... I certainly congratulate him on this victory and I want to be in his place
