Kevin Vandersmissen Eliminated in 2nd Place (€260,000)
Kevin Vandsermissen has just been defeated heads-up by Vladimir Geshkenbein and is the PokerStars.net EPT Snowfest runner-up.
Moments before the final hand was dealt Geshkenbain joked to Vandersmissen that he should not look so sad because "second place is a good result too." How right he was in his prediction.
Geshkenbein made his standard raise to 225,000 and then in an explosion of activity there was a re-raise, an all in and a call! A huge crowd gather around the table and both players revealed their hands.
