Sander van Wesemael wins third PokerStars Cup; Chidwick also on point

A round-up from the PokerStars Championship Barcelona, including, Sander van Wesemael winning his third PokerStars Cup of the season, Stephen Chidwick winning his second €25k Single Day High Roller of the season, and news of another huge PokerStars Championship Main Event first prize.

Fedor ‘freak’ Holz aside, predicting the winner of a poker tournament is like a meteorologist trying to predict the weather in Rotherham. But there was always one sure thing we could predict, Stephen Chidwick, would drop the baton in the home straight.

And now we can’t even get that right.

Chidwick, whom many in the know, refer to as one of the best players in the world, has a bionic sense of intuition and game theory, and now it seems the British pro has finally convinced luck that it isn’t all that bad on his side of the fence.
