Ronny Kaiser from Switzerland has won the first tournament of the European Poker Tour Season 8. Kaiser earned €275,000 after winning the €4,250 buy-in EPT Tallinn Main Event.
Kaiser completely dominated the final table and eliminated, for example, all of the three finnish players (Jani Sointula, Sami "LarsLuzak/LrsLzk" Kelopuro and Arvi Vainionkulma) on his way to victory.
Kaiser had earned almost $200,000 from live tournaments before this win, and according to Pokernews.com Kaiser is a high-stakes PLO cash game specialist.
It seems also that Kaiser is the man behind the nickname "1-Ronnyr3" on PokerStars.
