Overwhelming victory of KingHenryIII in UCP Championship

Quickly chip leader, KingHenryIII did nothing but widen the gap which separated him from his opponents and burted out most of the players in contention. Nineteen players have taken part in the $30+$3 freezout Upper Class Poker Championship tournament and when four players left, KingHenryIII found himself fighting against the toughs, nico73, EmmanuelMFr and tata78. EmmanuelMFr eliminated nico73 with a trips of tens, both players beeing all in before the flop, nico73 having nothing less but pocket aces. Next hand, KingHenriIII with AK bursted out EmmanuelMFr, this last having bet all in  with pocket nines. A king came on the flop shortening thus his sufferings. Tata78 who began the final heads up with seven times less chips than King HenryIII, raised all in with Q 6 of clubs and was paid by KingHenriIII with A3 off suit. A six came on the flop but was followed by an ace and a three. KingHenryIII gained thus $285 of the first place on the $570 prizepool.
