Heads Up Grand Slam final

The Russian Vladimir Geshkenbein is the winner of the PKR Heads Up Grand Slam, beating great poker stars on his way to the final. Even though he was one of the least known players taking part in the competition that was not the first time he won a poker tournament. Among his latest triumphs is the High Roller Event at the APPT tournament celebrated earlier this year.
Before beating Juha Helppi in the final, he had already managed to beat four important players: Alex Keating, Brahim Hajji, David Steicke and James Sudworth, proving in that way his ability with the cards.
Apart from the worldwide coverage of this tournament and therefore his victory, he is now $120.000 richer.
Congratulations Vladimir!
