A big congratulations to Andre Lettau, the winner of the richest Main Event (100th) in European Poker Tour history! Lettau, a 27-year-old online pro from Germany, entered the final table in the middle of the chip counts. After several hours of play, he the other two remaining players struck a deal (Hossein Ensan €652,667, Lettau €704,058 and Sam Phillips €1,021,275) that left €90,000 and the title to play for.
After Ensan (Day 6 [final table] chip leader) had been sent packing in third place, Phillips had a massive 5-1 chip deficit after doubling both of his opponents and losing a few other big pots. Despite the big difference in stack sizes the battle lasted for 141 hands and more than six hours of play.
Lettau had a 2-1 advantage when the final hand occurred. Phillips moved all in for his last 12 big blinds from the button holding 87 and Lettau called with K10. The board ran out K529K, which locked up the win for Lettau!
In total, Lettau outlasted a field of 1,496 players over 6 days of play to nab the title, €794,058 and a luxury SLYDE watch!

did you not watch it on pokerstarstv.com live stream german rail were loud and out of order and lettau needs to learn manners not even shaking peoples hand when they went bust. think he might have been high also.
Lettau was really irritating last hour he asked,... About 50 times how mutch you have(chips left) That was sick cmon all the chips are at the table count it all.... Then look what you have so you know what you opponent have Instead of asking it trillions off times.... Its a shame sam didnt won hes way better.....
German railers had no respect at all.... And same go's for Lettau no handshaking is a NO-GO in the world of live poker...

Well I can imagine that you're very tired after 5 days of very intensive days of poker and hard-thinking! And It's not that much irritating right?

You're a bit overreacting, the best player does far not always take the first place! He got more money and takes the second place!

Ok you're right on that though, that is very direspectful!
Posted by DDPascalDD: Well you're saying that it is a shame (for the pokerworld or something?) And I think you can't say that one pro is way better than another pro!
Did you ever look at a dictionary?? ik vind het jammer --------------I am sorry, it's a shame.........
And for the pokerworld i was talking about the no handshake
