Alan Carr is laughing all the way to the bank after successfully turning $5.50 to $60,000.

Alan Carr is an online poker player and qualified for the Unibet Poker Open main event after winning an online satellite event with a $5.50 buy-in.

The main event attracted 327 players and had a €1,100 buy-in. After the field narrowed to three, they reached an equity chop deal which saw Carr win almost $60,000.

Christopher Heidelbacher and Luca Beretta managed to lock in more than $50,000 going to three-handed play. However, that’s all they could get as Alan Carr powered through them to win his first live tournament.

After the negotiations came to an end and play resumed, it did not take long before Heidelbacher shoved all his chips to the center of the table. He had Queen-Nine (offsuit) and was promptly called be Beretta with Ace-Ten (suited). Beretta landed a pair on the river to send Heidelbacher to the rails in third place.

In heads up play, Beretta had the chip advantage but a couple of aggressive plays saw him lose a few pots to Carr. After about 20 minutes, Beretta lost the chip lead to Carr.

In the final hand, Beretta had King-Nine while Carr had Queen-Six. Beretta moved all in and after a few seconds, Carr called. The board ran out Ace-Jack-Four-Six-Three to give Carr the win.

Carr took home $58,912 and his first Unibet Poker Open title.

The adage “from grass to grace” resonates with Alan Carr. Before his win, he was a nobody in live poker circles but his popularity has undoubtedly soared after his win. His recent achievement is a testament that any poker grinder can make it big in poker.

Although Carr’s win may not be that impressive, the story behind his win is worth a listen. First, according to Carr, a mistake is responsible for his fairy tale win. The online poker pro said that he didn’t initially want to register for the $5.50 satellite, it was a mistake on his part.

However, he made the most of the situation and won a $55 tournament ticket. After another impressive run, he managed to win a second ticket worth $275. In the final satellite, he turned his $275 ticket to a $1,200 main event seat. The rest is history!
