Online gambling are high for Germans in the course: As the first bevölkerungsrepräsentative online survey on the use of online gambling revealed already play 25 percent of German Internet community on Gambling portals. These are some nine million Germans. About 40 percent of all respondents said they are gambling on the Internet of interest.

Especially striking: gambling enthusiasm across the whole population. Whether a student or retired, woman or man, the low-or poker – the trend toward online gambling, runs through all social strata. The study results thus confer with a widespread misconception: Internet Gambling is not Event for the classic poker (predominantly male [80%], young and have a low income), but by the masses. “The survey clearly shows that online gambling not excluded social phenomenon, but a wide acceptance. Long-term, there will be no basis for a gambling monopoly in the Internet. Only the customer decides what games and betting when and where he wishes, “says Jan Patrick Sandstorm, marketing head of PAF.

From the investigation initiated by PAF is also clear what gambling preferences in the various age groups predominate. To play Lotto mainly elderly, while among young people a great poker and play to recognize. This Sandstorm by PAF: “Younger people are using more and more the whole breadth of the gambling site. We assume that the young audience today his pleasure at poker and sports betting even if it ins, Lotto age ‘, is maintained so that a diversified gaming offer no longer be ignored by the market. The classic Lotto generation dies in our opinion. ”

But the frequency is different: While poker and sports betting fans more casual players (64.2 percent or 60 percent), the majority of regular lottery players much it crosses (54.6 percent of lottery players said they regularly play). This correlates with the motivation: This is in poker and Entertainment value in the foreground (72 percent or 66 percent). In the Lotto players, this value only at 46 percent.
“From our experience we know that games such as poker and sports betting mainly from the younger generation to be entertainment – like movies or music. This seems by the figures of the study. This, and the high proportion of casual players show that the majority of players on the Internet very well be a good deal with the phenomenon of gambling cares, “said Svahnström.

The study was ordered by PAF of gold Media. For more information and study charts receive upon request.

Voitto Rintala lost a hand against Greg Dyer and gave Greg a double-up. Then Rintala Short-Stacked and went 9-7 with Preflop All-in. Dyer called with (A-Hearts) (9-Hearts), the Board met with (K-Hearts) (8-Spades) (2-Hearts) (6-Diamonds) (9-Diamonds), Dyer had a flush and Rintala was ranked 13 (€ 33,450 prize money) out.

The board (Q-Diamonds) (7-Diamonds) (4 clubs) (2-Spades) (3-Spades) brought no improvement for Maceiras or Dyer and therefore had to place Maceiras 9 (64,800 €) eliminated.

Now they were still 8 players left, the occupation of the final table was clear, the chip counts were as follows:

Seat 1: Greg Dyer (USA) – 1,606,000

Seat 7: Trond Eidsvig (Norway) – 452.000
Seat 8: Patrick Bruel (France) – 374.000

Als der Final Table startete, war Patrick Bruel der Spieler mit der meisten Erfahrung am Tisch, er hatte im Jahr 1999 beim 5000$ Limit Holdem ein Braclet gewonnen, zu dieser Zeit waren drei seiner Gegner noch zu jung, um in einem Casino in den USA zu spielen (Greg Dyer, Adam Junglen, Nikolaus Jedlicka). Leider brachte ihm dieser Umstand keine weiteren Vorteile, da er in der zweiten Hand am Final Table ausscheiden musste.
Bruel raiste Preflop mit (10-Spades)(10-Diamonds) und Mark Teltscher callte vom Big Blind. Der Flop kam mit down (A-Hearts)(8-Hearts)(3-Hearts), und Teltscher check-callte Bruel’s All-In mit (A-Clubs)(9-Hearts), Bruel hatte also nur noch zwei Out’s und die (6-Hearts) auf dem Turn brachte Teltscher einen Flush, der River brachte Bruel keine Verbesserung und somit war er auf Platz 8 (104.500€) eliminiert.

Nachdem Bruel ausgeschieden war, saßen am Tisch nur noch Spieler unter 30 Jahren, wobei Teltscher der erfahrenste Spieler und “Table Captain” war. Schon einige Hände später stellte der “Table-Captain” sein Können unter Beweis und eliminierte Nikolaus Jedlicka auf Platz 7. Jedlicka re-raiste All-In nach einem Raise von Teltscher, Teltscher callte sofort mit (A-Hearts)(Q-Hearts), Jedlicka zeigte (10-Diamonds)(10-Spades), aber das Board kam mit (Q-Clubs)(4-Clubs)(2-Hearts)(A-Diamonds)(2-Diamonds) und Jedlicka verlor seinen Coin-Flip. Nikolaus Jedlicka war am heutigen Tag als Chip-Leader gestartet, aber das Glück war ihm nicht hold und so musste er sich mit einem Preisgeld in Höhe von 154.700€ trösten.

Das Tempo, mit welchem die Spieler an diesem Final Table eliminiert wurden, war wirklich enorm. Innerhalb von nur 7 Händen schieden 3 Spieler aus. In Hand #15 musste Jedlicka ausscheiden, in Hand #17 Adam Jungelen und in der nächsten Hand aus Platz 5 Trond Eidsvig. Junglen ging aus mittlerer Position All-In und wurde von Lylloff mit (8-Hearts)(8-Diamonds) gecallt, Junglen zeigte (A-Diamonds)(4-Clubs), das Board kam mit (K-Spades)(K-Diamonds)(Q-Hearts)(2-Spades)(6-Spades), somit hatte Lylloff diese Hand gewonnen und Junglen (196.500€) musste auf Platz 6 ausscheiden.

Eidsvig musste ausscheiden, als er Mike Paasonen’s pre-flop raise callte. Der Flop kam mit (J-Spades)(9-Diamonds)(6-Spades), beide Spieler checkten, der Turn brachte eine (10-Diamonds), Eidsvig setzte, Paasonen ging All-In und Eidsvig callte mit (K-Spades)(J-Diamonds). Paasonen hatte (9-Hearts)(10-Hearts) auf der Hand und hielt somit 2 Paar, die 10 auf dem River besiegelte das Schicksal von Eidsvig endgültig, er musste auf Platz 5 (250.800) ausscheiden.

Danach ging es am Final Table etwas gemächlicher zu, während der nächsten 20 Hände sollte nicht viel passieren. Der nächste, welcher ausscheiden musste, war Paasonen. Nachdem er in der vorherigen Hand einen Großteil seiner Chips verloren hatte, callte er Greg Dyer’s pre-flop raise und war All-In. Paasonen sagte: “Call! Triple me up!”, Sander Lylloff überlegte einen Moment und callte dann, der Flop kam mit (J-Spades)(7-Clubs)(2-Hearts), Lylloff und Dyer checkten, der Turn kam mit (9-Hearts), wieder checkten beide Spieler. Der River kam mit (K-Hearts), Dyer setzte und zeigte K-10 für Top Pair. Paasonen hatte A-7 und somit Middle Pair + Top Kicker, was aber nicht genügte, um diese Hand zu gewinnen. Somit war Paasonen auf Platz 4 (301.000€) ausgeschieden.
Die drei verbliebenen Spieler wechselten sich als Chip-Leader mehrere Male ab, wobei Lylloff kurz vor dem Abendessen und kurz nach der Pause die Kontrolle über den Tisch hatte und Mike Teltscher die Führungsrolle am Final Table ungefähr ab Hand #100 übernahm. Letztendlich, nachdem ca. 4 Stunden 3-handed gespielt wurde, ging Dyer Pre-flop mit (K-Clubs)(8-Diamonds) gegen Lylloff mit (A-Diamonds)(A-Clubs) All-In. Das Board brachte Dyer keine Verbesserung und somit musste der 20 Jährige Harvard Student auf Platz 3 (388.800€) ausscheiden.

Diese Hand machte Lylloff zum Beginn des Heads-Up’s zum 2:1 Chip-Leader. Lylloff benötigte nur noch 6 Hände, um sich den Titel zu sichern. In der entscheidenden Hand re-re-raiste Lylloff einen re-raise von Teltscher und war All-In, Teltscher callte und war ebenfalls All-In. Lylloff sah nicht sehr glücklich aus, als er (J-Spades)(10-Hearts) aufdeckte und feststellen musste, dass er weiter hinter Teltscher lag, welcher (K-Hearts)(K-Diamonds) zeigte. Der Flop kam mit (Q-Hearts)(J-Hearts)(7-Hearts), Lylloff hatte jetzt ein Paar Jacks, lag aber immer noch hinter dem Over-Pair von Teltscher. Der Turn kam mit (J-Diamonds) und brachte Lylloff Trips JJJ, der River war eine (4-Clubs), was Teltscher keine Verbesserung brachte. Somit stand der Gewinner der diesjährigen EPT in Barcelona fest. Teltscher erhielt für seinen zweiten Platz ein Preisgeld in Höhe von 673.000€. Lylloff holte sich den Titel des EPT 2007 Barcelona Champions und ein Preisgeld in Höhe von 1.170.700€. Nachfolgend finden Sie eine Aufstellung der Preisgelder für die Spieler am Final Table:
