Mike ‘Tímex’ McDonald wins EPT player of the year award

Share

For a long time it looked as if Steve O’Dwyer was going to take down the EPT player of the year award, but Tímex has beaten O’Dwyer by less than a single point to take down the Season 12 European Poker Tour Player of the Year.

 

 

O’Dwyer took the lead on May 1st when he finished ninth in the €50,000 No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) High Roller for €98,480. Tímex clawed a few points back the day after finishing in 10th place in a €550 NLHE Hyper Turbo event for €1,580 but fell further behind on May 4th when O’Dwyer caught a 31st place finish in the €25,750 High Roller earning €49,800. With time running out Timex entered the final contest of the festival – €10,200 NLHE Turbo 6-Max – and finished in seventh place for a €33,990 cash, earning enough points to overtake O’Dwyer at the top.
