Its all over
Hand eighty-five: KP raises by 100000 and JT calls. Flop 10d Qd 6s, KP bets 140000 and JT raises all-in. Kyri calls immediately and shows10h Jc and John shows 5d 6d. The turn clinches the hand when the 4d appears to make John’s flush. The river means nothing because Kyri is drawing dead.
Kyri Patsalos finishes in 2nd place earning R400,000 and a seat to the World Series of Poker valued at R150,000
John Tabatabai is the 12th All Africa Poker Tournament Champion and earns R1,000,000 and a seat to the World Series of Poker valued at R150,000.
John is fast confirming that he is not a flash in the pan but a poker player to be reckoned with. His aggressive and seemingly erratic style proved too strong for the South Africans but he made many friends with his affable nature.
