McLean Karr is the winner of the 2011 World Poker Tour Vienna High Roller event. The player outlasted a field of 50 players, including James Akenhead, Michael Tureniec and Andrew Feldman, on his way to capturing the amazing first place prize and the prestigious title.
The young pro, who entered the final table with a sizable chip lead, said he improved his skills whilst studying the Applied Math & Statistics at the Air Force Academy in Colorado.
The winner said the hardest thing for him was to face Tobias Reinkemeier, the Monte Carlo EPT Grand Final High Roller event champion, who took him a small chip advantage.
The €10,000 entry fee at the WPT High Roller event generated a total prize pool of €500,000.
The full final table payouts were as follows:
1. McLean Karr - €185,120;
2. Tobias Reinkemeier - €104,560;
3. Nicolo Calia - €57,040;
4. Govert Metaal - €39,020;
5. Kristijonas Andrulis - €29,520;
6. Ronnie Kaiser - €24,760;
7. Ramin Henke - €20,020;
8. Pavil Binar - €15,260.
The World Poker Tour has now moved to the Slovakian capital of Bratislava, where around 400 players are expected to sign up for the €2,770 Main Event.
