Tobias Reinkemeier Wins The 2010 PokerStars.Com EPT Grand Final High Roller Event! (€956,000)
![[user76023]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Reinkemeier started the day 4th in chips, but really began to take control when he cold-decked Allen Bari's Ace-King with his own pocket Kings. From there Reinkemeier was always likely to be there towards the end and when he knocked out Sorel Mizzi, it looked as though he might run over the table.
But he met his match in Oliver Busquet as the two of them tussled in a tense heads-up, though Reinkemeier admitted a slight advantage - He knew Busquet's online nickname, but Busquet did not know his.
Afterwards, a delighted Reinkemeier paid tribute to his opponent, calling him a "sick, sick player," while at the same time happily enjoying his win.
With the end of this tournament, the EPT will close down for a few months... But worry not! The European Poker Tour will return from Tallinn in Estonia in August and the Pokernews Live Reporting team will be back then to bring you all the news from Season 7 of the EPT.

. It looked for a second like another deuce had come on the turn but was in fact the 
that had appeared. Reinkemeier asked for the 
on the river but instead it was the 
that arrived to seal Reinkemeier's triumph.Afterwards, Busquet paid tribute to Reinkemeier, admitting he'd been outplayed in the crucial big pot when the German made a big bluff for his entire stack.
Nevertheless Busquet will be able to go home a rich and happy runner-up.

Flop:
Busquet bet out 240,000 and Reinkemeier called. Now this started to get interesting.
Turn:
Busquet bet out again, this time 450,000. Once more, Reinkemeier called.
River:
Busquet thought about it long and hard before betting out 560,000 with 1.2 million behind. Said Reinkemeier, ominously, "How much do you have behind?" He thought about it for a while - and then shoved.
"I can't call," said a now dejected Busquet, and indeed he folded. Reinkemeier showed him a nothing-y
.After the huge pot had been pushed towards Reinkemeier, Busquet lamented that he should have shoved on the river, and revealed that he'd been holding
. Reinkemeier told him that he'd put that firmly in Busquet's range. We now have a dominant chip leader, Reinkemeier playing roughly 4.5 million to Busquet's 1.2 million.

and Busquet check-called 100,000 form Reinkemeier; he checked again on the 
turn and this time Reinkemeier checked behind. Both players checked again on the

abd it was good enough to take it. Reinkemeier mucked, and Busquet moved up to 3.35 million.
