Absolutely NUTS! GCA-Reg wins the NLP Main Event!

The end of the poker week on Sunday at the Grand Casino As (GCA) also meant the end of the 4-day NUTS Live Poker Cup (NLP) powered by Nuts Live Poker Stuttgart. 71 players entered the NLP Main Event to compete for the €60,000 guarantee, which was not met by the 589 entries. – In addition to the M.E. final, the closing event, the Nuts Showdown, was also decided.

€100+€20 NLP Main Event – Final

71 of the 589 entries had made it to the final after 4 starting days (1A to 1D) in the €100 Main Event. The prize money guarantee of €60,000 was narrowly missed, meaning the participants could look forward to a small €1,100 overlay and already €200 mincash each.

The final day saw a good mix of Stuttgart NLP players, GCA regulars, and poker tourists. Among the most well-known names from the international regular clientele were certainly “Maful” (CZE, 56th, €220) and “Gabor 75” (HUN, 61st, €220). From the German-speaking contingent, poker veterans Mike König (GER, 37th, €275), “MayoMan 558” (22nd, €365), and Georg Danzer (GER, 64th, €200) were welcomed to the final.

At the final table, the top nine were already guaranteed €950. For the win, besides poker fame and a trophy, there was a planned payout of €11,165. The final table, well-mixed with players from 4 nations for GCA standards, also saw 5 German poker cracks take their seats.

The first to leave the final table under the cameras was Mario Baumann (GER, 9th, €950). After him, Rosario Russo (GER, 8th, €1,300) and GCA regular Dominik Martan (CZE, 7th, €1,780) headed to the cashier. “Wissi” (GER, 6th, €2,420) fought his way up to 6th place. The Pole “Kantoniusz” (POL, 5th, €3,260) managed to place one spot better. When Hans Schmidt (GER, 4th, €4,520), who had long fought as a short stack ninja, busted, the remaining trio agreed on a deal.

Chipleader Davide Tezza (ITA/GER) then received €8,458. At the time of the deal, GCA regular Lukas Rychetsky had the second most chips, securing him a safe €7,926, while the chips of shortstack Björn Jansen were worth €7,920 at that point.

They left three times €400 together with the trophy for the winner in the pot. Björn Jansen had to bury his title dreams first after the split. Among the 589 entries, the German finished in 3rd place.

Seriensieger Lukas Rychetsky went into the heads-up as the 14:9.2 million chip leader. Before the final duel, the two agreed on another deal, securing them €600 each equally. Since, according to GCA regulations, 5% of the remaining prize pool must remain in the pot for trophy events, this further division did not appear in the official results. Thus, the tournament continued, and after all, there was still a NUTS trophy to be awarded.

The lead changed hands several times between the two. Just as the then-short Davide Tezza was all-in with a dominating hand, covered & called, poker fate had no mercy on him and ended the NLP Main Event for the German-Italian as runner-up with €9,060.

The victory, including €7,926 after the first deal and another €600 after the second deal, went to Lukas Rychetsky along with the NLP trophy. The Czech thus achieved his next success at the GCA, significantly expanding his bankroll by €8,526 and his trophy collection!
