Albert Daher Eliminated in 2nd Place ($160,200)

Albert Daher opened for 120,000 on the button with , Alexey Rybin moved all in from the big blind with and Daher made the call. The flop came and Daher’s hopes were ended. We had a new WPT Cyprus champion in Alexey Rybin.

Perhaps Daher’s call with the was a reflection of the frustration at how the last half hour had played out. He had made a hero call with top pair against Rybin’s turn shove earlier and that was the key pot heads up. The main story will rightly be about Rybin leading the tournament all the way, but huge credit must go to Daher for the way he has played throughout the tournament and some of the amazing decisions he made in marginal spots.

Congratulations on second place Daher.
