partypoker German Poker Championships: wins for Sinclair & Karmatckii

partypoker LIVE has organised another successful event, this time at the German Poker Championships, in Rozvadov with Arsenii Karmatckii taking down the Main Event, and Jack Sinclair winning the €25,000 Super High Roller.

The form was simple.

Players would qualify for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) November Nine, and then smash it up at the tables in between July and November. With the November Nine a dead duck, Jack Sinclair is changing the form.

The British pro was an unknown quantity when he made it through the 7,221 player field to make the final table of the WSOP Main Event. Before that unbelievable run, his largest live score was £7.5k for finishing 161/1204 in the inaugural partypoker MILLIONS in Dusk Till Dawn, Nottingham.
