Oemer Kaya Claims Title at Dutch Poker Masters Main Event

The tournament with a €225 buy-in attracted an impressive 2,461 entries, almost perfectly hitting the guaranteed €500,000 prize pool. The final day saw 24 players enter, all of whom were guaranteed at least €1,125 but with their eyes set on the €56,000 winner's prize.

The final day of the tournament was streamed live via King's Resort's official livestream. The complete recording of the final day is available on YouTube, where you can catch the pivotal moments of the title chase.

Oemer Kaya claimed the title, despite starting the final day in the middle of the pack. He quickly increased his stack, entering the final table as the clear chipleader. He continued to dominate, making it look like smooth sailing to the title. However, drama ensued during the three-player showdown as each took turns in the lead.

The final trio agreed to a prize split, most notably affecting the third place, occupied by a Swedish player using the pseudonym Celtic. Celtic left with €37,500, more than the runner-up Morten Sindvald Faas received.

The Dutch player entered heads-up with a slight lead, but Kaya swiftly took control. In the decisive hand, Kaya went all-in with T h T c after the turn. The board of 7 d 5 d K d Q h gave Faas with J c T d opportunities for a straight and a flush, convincing him to move all his chips in. However, the river 3 s sealed Kaya's victory.
