UK player Jon Spinks last night won €141,200, a career-largest score, and his first EPT trophy. The result was only the third live win of his career, his first being at the UKIPT Edinburgh High Roller for £10,910, but Spinks had to get over his fourth-place hoodoo first.
Two years ago at the 2011 WSOP Spinks took fourth at two final tables for a combined haul of around $150,000, a great return but both times missing out on the hugest slice of the money. Here in Deauville there was no stumbling and WSOP champ and Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel, entered the final table with the chip lead, took that spot for €38,020.
And Spinks’ victory tweet?
“Shipped for €141.2k 🙂 time to begin the journey home with @johneamespoker! #hitandrunthefrenchies”
