partypoker’s Caribbean Poker Party $25,000 + $500 MILLIONS World event has been won by Roger Teska for a nice plump sum of $2,000,000!
He may haven’t had much experience on playing live tournaments throughout his poker career, but he had some prior experience on competing in the Bahamas in 2014 and he has also been announced to participate in the $1M dollar buy-in Big One for One Drop in 2012, thus he’s totally no noob to high-stakes games.
It took a total of 13 hours in a day to determine who the last man standing is, and in the end, it is American poker pro Roger Teska. He defeated Irish Steve O’Dwyer in a heads-up match. He said, “I definitely wasn't expecting to win coming into this [tournament]," Teska said in his winner's interview. "These guys know when to shove, what hands to shove with, and I don't. Steve is a better player than I am so I wanted to play bigger pots.”
Teska is one of those who get very much excited when he competes with some of the best players in the game. On the final day of the tournament, there were nine players left competing for the top spot in the final table. Teska was in 7th chip position at the start of play, while Steve O’Dwyer was the chip leader.
On the final hand, Teska was able to build a solid stack, and the hands dealt were:
O’Dwyer – a pair of 5
Teska – 10 and 8 of clubs
The board ran 8-4-2-Q-3, thereby giving Teska a pair of eights on the flop and so he wins the pot and the title.
His latest victory overshadows his previous career-high score of $371,000, and he says he knows exactly what to do with his major payday, but of course, “There might be some partying the next couple days.”
