Gabor puts the brakes on Freund to win PPT Vienna

Just as we thought Alexander Freund was on an inevitable march to victory in Vienna, the PPT Main Event threw up one last surprise as Gabor Skrinyar turned his chip disadvantage around.

The Hungarian high stakes pro had been chip leader as we entered the final table, and though he had maintained a respectable stack throughout, it seemed a distant memory as Freund ran the rest of the table ragged.

With the deal done, the chips flew in quickly and Skrinyar picked up A♦K♣ at just the right moment, dominating Freund's A6o and seizing the advantage.

It was enough to finish the job when they pair chose to ship again, as Gabor's K♠8♦ toppled his opponent's J9.

And so ends the ParadisePoker Tour Vienna! Thanks for all those following the PPT blog. An interview with our winner plus photos will follow soon, along with official fantasy poker results by Friday.
