Day 3 Completed

Marc Naalden Wins the 2009 PokerNews Cup Alpine Main Event (�46,474)

Winner!
Winner!
After three thrilling days of poker culminating in an epic heads-up battle lasting almost three hours, PokerStars online qualifier Marc Naalden has finally been crowned Main Event champion of the inaugural PokerNews Cup Alpine.

The Dutch national and Belgian resident beat a field of 129 runners, including such heavyweights as Marcel Luske, Sandra Naujoks, Noah Boeken, David Saab and of course, Tony G, to take the title. Furthermore, he, as well as all the other players, got to spend a week skiing, feasting, playing some excellent poker and generally having a fine old time in quite frankly the absolute lap of luxury here at the Alpine Palace in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. In that respect, even the losers have come out winners.

If you'd like to take part in the next PokerNews Cup, keep your eye on www.pokernewscup.com for information, and we hope to see you there. In the meantime, it's farewell, goodbye, auf Wiedersehen and indeed adieu from the Alpine Palace and all at PokerNews.

Over and out.

Runnar Lindepuu Eliminated in Second Place (�29,940)

It took awhile, but after much back and forth action, we finally found our winner.

With Marc Naalden making a standard raise of 75,000 preflop, Runnar Lindepuu took one look at his cards and announced, "All in."

"Call," came the immediate response, much to the interest of the Dutch contingent who swamped the table, their mouths salivating over the possibility of a Dutch winner.

And as Naalden revealed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} to Lindepuu's {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, there were few excited fist pumps, the majority sensing victory was nigh.

Indeed, it was, and as the board came {4-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, the crowd erupted in cheers for a fellow countryman, and a triumphant Naalden high-fived his nearest railer.

Lindepuu, meanwhile, a fine competitor and highly deserving of his runner-up spot, was reflective in defeat, commenting, "Oh well, second's still good." Well, he's right, second is still good, and good enough for a mighty �29,940.

Naalden Steaming Ahead

Someone's going to win this soon...
Someone's going to win this soon...
Marc Naalden made it 75,000 form the button and Runnar Lindepuu called, but folded instantly when Naalden bet 150,000 on the {4-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {3-Spades} flop.

-----

Now it was Lindepuu's turn to make it 75,000 from the button and Naalden's turn to call; they saw the {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {3-Hearts} flop. Naalden bet 105,000 and Lindepuu called, but they proceeded to warily check down the {6-Diamonds} turn and {3-Diamonds} river. Amazingly, Naalden's {6-Hearts} {7-Spades} was good enough to take it down and Lindepuu just mucked.

Big Pot for Lindepuu

Marc Naalden made it 75,000 from the button and Runnar Lindepuu called. Flop time.

Flop: {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

Checking for Lindepuu, and betting 100,000 for Naalden. Call.

Turn: {Q-Hearts}

Checking all round.

River: Lindepuu now bet out 200,000 -- and Naalden decided he didn't like his hand that much after all, and folded.

Lindepuu is now back to a commanding chip lead on 1.2 million.
