Khoroshenin, Soulier Close Out Vienna with Big Wins

Oleksii Khoroshenin and Fabrice Soulier win big on the last day of play at EPT Vienna…

KHOROSHENIN KRUSHES MAIN

Although he had a big lead as three-handed play unfolded, Marko Neumann (GPI#791) would not become the latest German wizard to win big on the live tournament circuit. Instead, it’s Ukrainian Oleksii Khoroshenin (GPI#407) who wins EPT Vienna, earning the top prize as he inches closer to a return inside the GPI300.

Khoroshenin defeated local hero Anthony Ghamrawi (GPI#20722) heads-up for the title.

GPI300 member Simeon Naydenov (GPI#205) would end up being eliminated second. He takes home €151,000 for his 7th place finish.

SOULIER SCORES HIGH ROLLER

Just a few short months ago many were wondering “what’s wrong with Fabrice Soulier?” – turns out, there never was anything wrong for one of France’s most decorated poker pros.

After some tough month on the circuit, Soulier (GPI#177) finished second in the WSOP Europe Main Event late in 2013 … and now, Soulier is High Roller Champion at EPT Vienna, just days after scoring a 57th place finish in the Main Event.
