Thorsten77 finishes third in the ECOOP II Main Event
PokerStrategy's hand judge and moderator Thorsten77 had a sensational third place finish in the Main Event of the ECOOP and won the staggering sum of $120,000.
What a success for 
Thorsten 'Thorsten77' Schäfer!
1,277 players participated in the $1,000 Main Event of the ECOOP II. 1,274
of the starters were left behind by Thorsten who secured the third place in the most prestigious tournament of the European
Championship of Online Poker in the iPoker network (Titan Poker).
In his last hand of the tournament, he held pocket kings on a QJT board - giving him an OESD + overpair. Yet his opponent who was holding Q7, hit the 7 for two pair on the turn - sending Thorsten to the rails. Consolation is the $120,000 prize sum that he gets in return for his 3rd place. Congratulations!
