Kläser Takes Down WSOP Event Number 43 for $216,000
July 22, 2008
Martin Kläser who is a 21 year old German Full Tilt Poker professional took down the $1.5k Pot Limit Omaha 8-or-Better tournament recently overcoming a field of 720 other poker players.
He overcame the final table which held players such as fellow Full Tilt Poker professional Erik Seidel and entered the final heads-up play with a 3:1 chip lead ratio over his opponent Casey Kastle. His aggressive heads-up style allowed him to take down all but 3 hands of the 19 that we’re dealt between the two which ultimately gave him his first career bracelet.
Kläser’s win makes him one of the youngest WSOP bracelet winners recorded to date.
Below is the top 10 finishes in this tournament:
