Jonas Lauck Wins First Bracelet in Event #56: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Super Turbo Bounty

15 hours and 30 minutes is all it took for Jonas Lauck to win his first WSOP bracelet.

Lauck, a German professional poker player, managed to top the Event #56: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Super Turbo Bounty  for $260,335. The tournament attracted a strong field comprising of 1,867 players and had a $1,586,950 prize pool.

The turbo event was designed to last a day and a lot of experienced players gave it a shot. However, some household names such as Kalidou Sow, Kenny Hallaert, and Ryan Laplante failed to make the money. Daniel Negreanu finished 155^th, Benjamin Zamani finished 26^th, and Anto Wigg finished 15th.

Even though it was Lauck’s first WSOp bracelet, this was not his first high stakes tournament. He once won well over $1.5 million, albeit in an online hold’em tournament.

Here’s what he had to say after his win.

”I guess one of the biggest [achievements], for sure. It wasn’t the biggest cash but the bracelet is a big achievement that I wanted to have. For me, it was a special win because I was once heads-up and I lost. I wanted to have this bracelet and it feels very good.”

Jonas Lauck powers through the final table

Going into the final table, Jonas Lauck had the chip lead and a very loud rail which kept cheering him on after each hand.

Edward Courage was the first player to be eliminated. He moved all in and was snap-called by Aaron  Johnson who had pocket aces. His ninth-place finish earned him $20,793.

Johnson would later find himself on the wrong side of the action after losing a big pot to Robert Bickley. After the hand, Lady luck was not on Johnson’s side and he was later eliminated in eighth place by Lauck after he failed to make a top pair with his ace-queen against Lauck’s pocket kings. He won $26,992.

Arron Woodcock and Aaron Pinson were eliminated by Lauck in the 7^th and 6^th places respectively.

Five-handed play lasted a couple of hands before Anil Jivani was eliminated. Jivani shoved all his chips into the middle with queen-six and was called by Lauck with King-eight. He failed to make a pair and was eliminated.

Markus Gonsalves and Fernando Viana were eliminated in the fourth and third places respectively.

The heads-up play was short-lived as it only lasted two hands. In the final hand, Robert Bickley moved all in with pocket kings and Lauck called with ten-six suited. Lauck flopped a flush draw and Bickley was eliminated in second place for $160,820.
