Adrian Sportelli has captured the inaugural Gold Coast Poker Championships Main Event title after a dominant final table display at Jupiters Hotel and Casino yesterday.
The tournament came to a dramatic end only a few hands into the heads-up duel when Brett Taunton committed his stack with pocket kings, only to find Sportelli holding pocket aces. The victor pocketed more than $58,000 for his victory, while Taunton left with a not-insignificant $37,000.
Stephen Ford placed third for $21,000 and change, day two chip leader Ivan Zalac was fourth while Elisabeth Buisson was the highest placed female in fifth.
