Sam Greenwood Wins BPO Event #4 – Sam Soverel Leads Championship Race
The Greenwood brothers are dominating the 2019 British Poker Open. Earlier this week, Luc Greenwood took down Event 1 of the BPO. Sam Greenwood then finished 5th in Event #3
On Friday, Sam made his second final table of the 2019 BPO and this time took down the title. He won Event #4, the £10,000 Short Deck NL Hold’em Event for £110,400. Meanwhile, Paul Newey won his first live poker tournament after taking down Event #3.
Paul Newey Wins Event #3 – Sam Soverel Takes BPO Championship Lead
Event #3 of the 2019 British Poker Open was another £10,000 NL Hold’em Event. This one drew 46 entries for a prize pool of £460,000. The entire final table managed a payday with Poker Central founder Cary Katz falling in sixth place for £27,600.
Sam Greenwood, Mikita Badziakouski, and Elio Fox all made the final table but fell short of heads-up play. That honor fell to Sam Soverel and Paul Newey. Soverel finished runner-up in Event #2 and sadly had the same luck this time around.
Soverel got most of his stack in good with pocket jacks but Newey caught lucky when his pocket nines spiked a set on the turn. This left Soverel with just two big blinds, and Newey won them in short order to win his first live tournament title and £156,400.
After winning the event, Newey told Poker Central, “It’s the first time I’ve won a big live event and I won all my all-ins – that makes it easier! I had just over three big blinds at my lowest point and I got lucky again yesterday,” he said upon victory. The humble Brit has won his first-ever live event at this level on the eve of his 51st birthday, what a present for the colorful character at the tables.
Despite falling short of a title yet again, Sam Soverel did jump up to first in the BPO Championship standings. He now has 280 points and has a mere 20 point lead over Sam Greenwood.
Sam Greenwood Wins Event #4
Sam Greenwood is keeping pace with his brother Luc. Luc won Event #1 and Sam has now won Event #4. Event #4 was a £10,000 Short Deck Event and it drew a field of 24 entries. Only the top four players were paid this time around and Cary Katz took min-cash honors for the second straight day.
Anson Tsang fell in third place to set up a heads-up battle between Robert Flink and Sam Greenwood. Greenwood had a slight chip lead and all the chips went in shortly after the start of heads-up play. At the turn, Flink caught a Queen-high straight but Greenwood had improved to an unlikely king-high flush. Flink had outs to a better flush, but the river produced a brick.
Flink had to settle for second place and a £67,400 top prize. Sam Greenwood won his first BPO title and £110,400. He also earned 200 points towards the BPO Championship, giving him 260 points total. He is now just 20 points behind Sam Soverel.
