TIPS Winter Edition: Liad Greenberg Wins Europe High Roller; Main Event Reaches Final Day

TIPS Winter Edition-Europe High Roller

The TIPS and KENTA Europe High Roller was hosted alongside the Main Event of The Indian Poker Series (TIPS) at the King’s Casino in Rozvadov. There were 93 entrants in total which also included 12 who were re-entering the event.

Israel’s Liad Greenberg bagged the title, defeating India’s Jagdeep Singh in a heads-up match. Another Indian Abhishek Jaiswal was also in the race for the title. However, he took an above average stack into the final table and finished in ninth place for €1,763. He did win the weekly King’s Special Tuesday event though, to bag his first live title.

The Final Table

Eli Hay was the first one to go in 10th place. Abhishek Jaiswal followed him in ninth place. After that, a series of players were knocked out, including Noam Bener, Dominique Potenza and Dolev Dahan at eighth, seventh and sixth place respectively.

David Margi was also removed soon after that in fifth place. After ‘Mazal tov’ and Nir Amar were removed at the fourth and third place respectively, the game went into a heads-up round between Jagdeep Singh and Greenberg.

Finally, both the players settled on an ICM deal based on which the top-two payouts were revised, and Greenberg was declared the winner.
