The second-biggest buy-in event of the World Series of Poker Europe attracted 34 unique players for a total of 72 entries. Chin Wei Lim wins his first golden braselet WSOPE and € 2 172 104. This is biggest live cash since he took second place in the €250,000 super-high roller tournament just a few days ago, losing to James Chen (€1,757,857).
“To be honest, it feels pretty weird. I am just used to losing, and losing, and losing. And then, I’m just pretty lucky on this trip. I can’t complain. The field was hard in the €250,000 and to be able to finish second, I really can’t complain, even though I didn’t win it, it gave me a good confidence boost.“
“Today everything went my way. I was running good I think — a lot of these guys are better than me. It was smooth sailing, no tough spots. I came into the day fourth in chips and we were all pretty deep. I thought it would be a long day but apparently, we only played for six hours. So that was quite surprising.”
