Tournament Report

Dateline Vienna, 31st May,2001, from Bill Marczak
The Austrian Masters 1000 ATS Pot Limit Omaha event held at the Concord Card Casino has concluded, & was won by Angelo Ju of China,who collected ATS 148,960 in prizemoney.Second place went to David "devilfish" Ulliot,with ATS 74,450.
With 1,473,000 chips in play, the final heads-up battle resulted in some massive pots,with Yu keeping the lead throughout.The key hand for Ulliot,which kept him in the contest was:
Ulliot AAK2 vs YU AKJ5 - final board J54-Q-3
However,Yu was betting & raising every hand,constantly putting pressure on Ulliot,eventually running out a deserved winner.
In the early stages at every table 5 to 7 players were seeing the flop,often in raised & reraised pots.Re-buys were being taken almost every hand -there were 299 from 105 entrants.
As usual the Aussies performed well.Mel Judah,the well-known poker pro,finished 4th ( ATS 35,260),and Phil Cannon,former dealer at Crown Casino in Melbourne & now based in Moscow, came in 3rd ( ATS 47,020).
Total prizemoney was ATS 404,000 - not too bad for an ATS 1000 entry fee.
