Miki strikes again, claiming another pair of scalps to go heads up


Having dominated the final table for long spells, Miguel "Miki" Rodriguez (pictured) added good fortune to his armoury to knock out a pair of potential rivals for the PPT Madrid crown.

First he tangled in a blind battle with Dovydas Asanavicius, with the Lithuanian putting him to the test with an apparent re-steal in a blind battle. Miki looked him up with K8o, surprising Dovydas, who held Q9s, and winning the 60-40 flip.

Next it was Paradise Poker's own Antonio Lemos who fell victim, as fate looked allied to Miki when his 8♣9♥ outdrew "Tony L's" A♥8♠.

That set up a heads-up meeting between compatriots Rodriguez and Ricardo Calleja, and Dovydas praised the big stacks for putting their chips to good use.

"They didn't just sit around and wait for the small stacks to bust out, they took the initiative and they played well," he told the PPT blog.

"I think I also played well over the course of the two days though, so I'm pleased with the result because I never had as many chips as them.

"Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to Bulgaria because I'll be in Vegas for the start of it, but I'll be back next season for sure because it's been a great tournament with a good structure, a fun field and helpful staff."

Your PPT blog is blushing. Cheers Dovydas.
