Dutchman Boender Wins Estrellas Poker Tour Valencia

Daniel Boender has won the Estrellas Poker Tour Valencia, after defeating a field of 482 players over five days to capture the title, and collect the €104,550 first place prize.
As the final table got underway, Dutchman Daniel Boender was in pole position at the table which included 6 Spainards and 1 player from Portugal. Daniel Boender (A-A) then proceeded to eliminate Enrique Lanzuela Fornas (J-J) in 8th for €9,260, before then being dealt pocket eights and dispatching a short-stacked Jorge Andres Jimenez (A-10) to the rail in 7th (€12,750). Continuing his steamroll of the final table, Daniel Boender (Kd-Qd) then hit a flush against Ivan Carmona Oteiza (A-J) on a 7d-4-3d-7-8d board to send Oteiza home in 6th for €17,390
Following the first break, Daniel Boender (A-7) soon picked-up where he left off and called the 15bb short-stack shove by Renato Almeida (A-6) only for the board to fall K-7-7-9-4. Almeida received €24,920 for his 5th place finish.
Javier De Vicente Miquel (K-Q) then eliminated Jose Gonzalez (7-7) in 4th (€33,040), but his joy was brief as soon after he came unstuck holding K-10 against the pocket fours of Daniel Boender. Miquel then went all-in on the board J-K-4-8 ony to see the bad news and so he had to be content with a 3rd place finish worth €42,890.
As the heads-up phase of the competition got started, Daniel Boender held a commanding 7 to 1 chip advantage over Marciano Rodriguez Cortes.
