One card can change the course of an entire poker tournament, and for Martin Lechner, that’s exactly what happened at the final table of the 888poker Live Glasgow £888 Main Event.
With four players remaining, Lechner moved all in for his last 1,545,000 on the king-high flop and was called by Richard Kellett. Lechner showed king-ten for top pair, but Kellett had him dominated with ace-king. The other two players had already folded a ten, so Lechner had just one out going to the river to stay alive. He caught the miracle, and it helped the Austrian capture the title in his first-ever 888poker Live event.
"It’s amazing. It’s my first 888 Live tournament and I came here for the trophy. The trophy means a bit more than the money for me, so it’s really special to win the heads-up,” Lechner said after defeating Kellett heads-up to win the £57,515 first prize and end up on top of the 348-player field.
