Bereits nach 8 ausgespielten Turnieren bei der WSOP 2015 dürfen wir uns bereits über das erste Bracelet freuen! Der 24-jährige Paul Michaelis aus Deutschland gewinnt für das $1.500 Pot-Limit Hold’em Bracelet und darf sich über seinen mit Abstand größten Cash bei Live Turnieren freuen. Laut Hendonmob.com ist er bereits seit 2011 ziemlich aktiv in Europa unterwegs mit zahlreichen Cashes im Kings und auf Zypern.
Heute Nacht gelang ihm aber der ganz große Wurf! Er konnte sich im 639 Spieler starken Feld behaupten und darf das Bracelet mit in seine Wahlheimat nach Österreich nehmen. Der 24-jährige Student hat vor Kurzem seinen Bachelor abgeschlossen, hat aber vor weiter zu studieren. Er bezeichnet sich selbst als Turnier-Spezialist und hat das WSOP Main Event fix eingeplant.
Im Heads-Up konnte sich Michaelis gegen den Pro Tom Marchese durchsetzen, als Runner-Up erhielt er $117.199.
Die gesamte Hochgepokert.com Redaktion gratuliert Paul Michaelis sehr herzlich zum Sieg und wir werden versuchen ihn für ein kurzes Interview zu erreichen.
