Pauli Ayras wins €25k High Roller at Patrik Antonius’ series

A total of 17 entries were attracted to the event and four of those were of Antonius himself. In the end though, it was Pauli Ayras of Finland. Ayras earned €163,300 (~INR 1.26 Crores) as the first-place cash prize, beating Holland’s pro Teun Mulder.

Rounding up the top 3 was Germany’s high-stakes pro Koray Aldemir who finished with €81,600 in his pocket. The buy-in for the event was so high that Tallinn’s biggest buy-in event which was hosted EPT Tallinn HR in 2010 was worth less than half of this one.

Ayras after his win said, “It was nice to win. I played really solid all day. Nothing really crazy happened before heads-up play. The heads-up player was a really tough player from Holland. I think he was one of the best players in this tournament. Still, I just feel I was one step ahead of him at all times and figured out what he was doing.”

Ayras is no stranger to 25k HRs. He finished 2^nd in €25k HR at EPT Barcelona last year and ranked ahead of David Peters and 2018 GPI Player of the Year Alex Foxen. Yesterday, he added his second 6-figure score after winning €256,000 last year in Barcelona.

For Antonius himself it was a pretty bad day. He bought 4 times into the tournament but received multiple bad beats and busted out of the money. He lost multiple pots with Pocket Queens. He lost a big pot getting two-outered by Eights against his Queens. On his final attempt, he shoved with Queen-eight suited only to run into Queens.

Final Table Results –

1. Pauli Ayras – $183,492
2. Teun Mulder – $137,535
3. Koray Aldemir – $91,690
4. Tommie Janssen – $45,924
