It's over--Noah Boeken wins--hand by hand account of the final table

After an epic heads-up battle, young Noah "Exclusive" Boeken, protege to Marcel Luske, outlasted and outbattled Hendon Mobster Ram Vaswani. The final hand is at the bottom.

I'll warn you though...the battle lasted so long, my computer battery died just before the final hand. Forunately I had a notebook at hand...although this is a hand you can't really forget.

Expect a full report in a while.

Hand 129

Noah is BB. Ram is SB.

FINAL HAND–

My coupter battery died at the very moment when both players went all in pre-flop. Noah held AQ. Ram held AJ.

The flop broke Noah’s heart. JT3. It paired Ram up and would’ve doubled Ram up.

But the turn was a king, giving Noah the Broadway straight, first prize,a seat at the EPT grand Final in Monte Carlo, and his first major live tournament win.

A full report is pending.
