Asi Moshe - WSOP Europe

The 2019 World Series of Poker Europe rolls along and two big names have secured WSOP bracelets. Asi Moshe added to his career bracelet total after securing his fourth bracelet in the €1,650 PLO/NL Hold’em Mix.

Meanwhile, Australian high roller Kahle Burns secured his first WSOP gold bracelet after winning the €25,500 Platinum High Roller.

Asi Moshe Wins Fourth Bracelet

When WSOP officials decided to revise the 2019 WSOP Europe schedule, they added multiple mixed events to the series. One of these events was the €1,650 PL Omaha / NL Hold’em Mix. The event drew a field of 279 entries and included several top names.

Two out of the three players atop the WSOP Player of the Year leaderboard cashed in this event. Daniel Negreanu finished 37th while Shaun Deeb finished 26th.

Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Chris Ferguson just missed out on the final table in this one, finishing in 9th. By the time the final table was reached, two WSOP bracelet winners remained in the field. Canada’s Erik Cajelais and then three-time bracelet winner Asi Moshe were the only gold holders remaining.

Cajalis was short-stacked at the start of the final table and ultimately fell in sixth place to Moshe. From that point, Moshe simply dominated the final table and never relinquished the chip lead. Ultimately, he entered heads-up play against Kristoffer Rasmussen with a massive chip lead.

In the final hand, Rasmussen moved in with the best hand but Moshe ended up catching a straight on the turn to win the hand and his sixth career WSOP bracelet.

After the win, Moshe stated that he isn’t really an Omaha player, but he picked up good cards and ran well. His “run good” resulted in his fourth WSOP bracelet and $108,186 in prize money.

Kahle Burns Wins WSOP-E Platinum High Roller

WSOP officials hoped that adding multiple High Roller events to the schedule would bring in larger crowds, and that’s what has happened so far. The €25,500 Platinum High Roller Event drew a field of 83 players, creating a nice prize pool of €1.97 million.

Daniel Negreanu continued to gain ground on Shaun Deeb for WSOP Player of the Year in this one, finishing 10th. However, Robert Campbell managed an 8th place finish and leapfrogged over Deeb for the top spot on the leaderboard.

The final table of this event was a stacked one that included Alex Foxen from the US, Timothy Adams from Canada, Sam Trickett from the UK, Kahle Burns from Australia, and The Netherlands Abdelhakim Zoufri.

No name on this list was bigger than 2019 WSOP Main Event Champion Hossein Ensan. He was looking to add a WSOP-E bracelet to his Main Event bracelet from earlier this year. While he played well at the final table, he would fall short of his goal, ultimately finishing in third place.

The eventual pair battling for the bracelet was Kahle Burns and Sam Trickett. Both were looking for their first WSOP bracelet. Burns started heads-up play with the chip lead, but the lead jumped back and forth a couple of times before a massive hand gave Burns a stranglehold on the title.

Trickett had the chip lead and decided to go for it with A-Q. Unfortunately for him, Burns woke up with pocket queens and those queens held. Trickett was left with two big blinds and he lost them in the very next hand.

Kahle Burns said it was mostly “smooth sailing” at the final table and called his win a “bucket list thing” that he wanted to accomplish before leaving poker. Now with that off of his bucket list, one has to wonder what else he has left that he wants to accomplish in the game.
