Dimitar Danchev Wins WPTWOC Turbo Championship
Event #11: $3,200 Turbo Championship was the latest event to conclude in the World Poker Tour World Online Championships (WPTWOC) at partypoker. The event was a massive success with 433 entrants generating a $1,299,000 prize pool to smash the $1 million guarantee.
Hungary's Dimitar Danchev claimed his first WPT title to bank $188,316 in fine fashion after nearly 8 1/2 hours of action. He agreed to a three-way deal with Belarus' Aliaksei Boika (second - $156,843) and Sweden's Alfred Karlsson (third - $184,832) and then came out on top for the extra money that was left to play for.
Danchev is well-known not only as a high-stakes online tournament grinder but for his live tournament prowess as well with nearly $5 million in live cashes alone including shipping the EPT PCA in 2013 for $1,859,000.
Other players at the final table included Hungary's Ferenc Deak (fourth - $81,364), Iceland's Asgrimur Karl (fifth - $56,015), Croatia's Patrik Buzhala (sixth - $41,489), and Ukraine's Oleg Vasylchenko (seventh - $31,908).
