Jonathan Abdellatif of Alosta Rounders Fame’s EPT Dip

Belgian poker star Jonathan Abdellatif (member of the infamous Alosta Rounders crew, based in Flanders, Belgium) had an extremely interesting run in the European Poker Tour (EPT) main event in Deauville this year. Quickly accumulating a lot of chips on day 1A, Jonathan Abdellatif quickly found himself as the big chip leader in the tournament after both first day sessions had been completed (putting him ahead of big names including Dave ‘The Devilfish’ Ulliott.

It was both a combination of hitting big hands and playing them like the poker genius he is that put him in that spot, which he held for quite some time in day two too.

He ended up finishing in the money, somewhat disappointed though after losing a gigantic pot on a bluff and just after running his KK into AA.

No disaster for Jonathan Abdellatif though, we’re sure to see him on the international poker circuit again very soon — and we’ll be here reporting!

Vicky Coren interviewed at EPT Baden

It’s an extremely short interview, but I think it’s valueable as it shows Vicky Coren in a way we all love — the gracious poker-woman, talking about why she’s relaxed after winning the London EPT and showing she’s just a true nice girl… Not greedy, just a good, solid poker player feeling relaxed, hoping to cash. She’s awesome!
