Tim Reilly wasn't a known face on the European Poker Tour before the start of EPT Deauville but, after some fine performances on the EPTLive webcast and the small matter of being heads-up in the €10,300 High Roller, we expect to see a lot more of the 30-year-old.

Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts (that's in the USA, just in case you didn't know) Reilly started playing tournaments in anger about a year-and-a-half ago and has racked up some modest scores totalling $131,671. He's already smashed that here after a 90th place finish in the Main Event for €9,700 and the guaranteed €180,000 that second place pays out in the High Roller. It's €313,000 for the win. Not bad for someone who is relatively new to tournaments. You can check the live updates here.

'I started playing tournaments about a year and a half ago. I played cash recreationally for a few years and then started playing for a living about a year-and-a-half before Black Friday happened in America,' said Reilly, who bears more than a passing resemblance to Ryan Gosling.

Like many others he made the switch over to live poker shortly after and now faces Vojtech Ruzicka heads-up for the EPT Deauville €10,300 High Roller title. Things, you could say, have gone pretty well on that front but Reilly won't find his Czech opponent easy to overcome. Ruzicka is a highly regarded player who chopped the 2011 WCOOP Main Event. He'll be no pushover.

Tim 'not Timothy' Reilly

The American almost busted in third for €105,700 when he got it all-in with A♣K♣ against Frenchman Alexandre Reard's pocket eights. Reilly flopped a king and held. Reard went to the rail shortly after, guaranteeing Reilly a minimum additional €75,000. That's a hell of a coin-toss.

'Yup, I've lost some pretty big flips but that's definitely the biggest one (I've been in),' Reilly told the PokerStars Blog during the last break.

And he's not just talking about the money either, that flip could literally be life-changing.

'Right now I'm kinda travelling. I moved out the country to Amsterdam to get relocated and set up on PokerStars. I was actually talking about where I'm going next last night and I decided to wait for the next couple of days because I figured a lot could change. I was six-handed in this and it could change my trip massively, you know.

'I might actually - not take time off - but not grind so hard and just play the bigger tournaments. After Sanremo I started getting a little more selective and not playing everything. I like the deep stacked good value events, I'm not so good at the turbos. I like the chips to be deeper,' said Reilly.

His claim certainly seems to be credible. In the earlier days of the EPTLive webcast here Reilly really impressed and was involved in arguably the most fascinating hand to have played out all week in a clash between him and Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Rousso (which you can watch and read Vanessa's take on the hand here). Reilly's heard plenty about it.

'Yeah, I've seen it. I like Vanessa a lot, she's a great person but I thought it was absolutely suicidal of a bluff, which is why I folded because when she flats almost 5k with less than 13k back if she doesn't have two kings in her hand I don't... her line was so polarised... I think that she had king-five, that's what I would suppose, and turning that into a bluff.

'I don't expect her to expect me to fold very often and when she calls out of position as much as she plays she has to have it. She was trying to rep so thin it's almost good-bad. It's bad but in this spot it was good because I could read that she was saying, 'I have two kings, nothing else.' It was two kings or not and at that point she's got to be crazy to flat this bet without it. I don't know, I've been getting a lot of shit from my friends,' said Reilly with a smile.

Win or lose heads-up Reilly should be smiling a lot. Not only has he bagged some €200,000 - and possibly more - but he's won a lot of fans here this week. We certainly hope to see more of the boy from Boston on the EPT.

When six players returned to play down to a winner of the €10,300 High Roller event today, the two biggest stacks were known predominantly for their great aptitude at finishing second.

Martin Jacobson had two EPT Main Event runner-up places on his resume (yet no title) while Vojtech Ruzicka's most memorable tournament score was a second place (after a chop) in the 2011 WCOOP on PokerStars.

Something probably had to give.

As it happened, they had their 'heads up' duel when two others were also sitting at the table. Jacobson lost two critical pots to Ruzicka to finish in fourth, taking €83,200 but to remain title-less. It meant that Ruzicka could go on to a 'real' heads up battle with Tim Reilly, from which the Czech would quickly emerge victorious and earn his maiden title on the EPT.

Ruzicka now sees his name on a big cheque bearing the total €313,000. One suspects he will be a fixture on this tour for many, many years to come.

Vojtech Ruzicka's champagne moment












Although the high rollers were pretty healthy in chips when they resumed overnight, the feeling was always there that they wouldn't take long to identify their winner. The helicopters were warming up their rotor-blades even as they filtered to the table, ready to whisk these online sharks to their poker caves for tomorrow's Sunday grind.

Steven 'zugwat' Silverman stole a march on the rest when he bust in sixth place, adding €44,500 to his kitty. He was quickly pursued by Bryn 'brynkenney' Kenney, whose fifth was worth €64,100.


Brynn Kenney: off for the Sunday grind

Then it was the aforementioned Jacobson, leaving Reilly, Ruzicka and Alexandre Reard. The latter was the last of the lesser-known locals who swelled the ranks of this event, but the nip, nip, nip of the sharks finally proved too much.


Martin Jacobson: fourth, not first

Reilly, who has had a breakout week on the EPT would account for Reard eventually, when the American hit a huge draw to best Reard's medium pair.


Timothy Reilly: came up one place short

When only two remained, with almost perfectly matched stacks, it was pretty clear that either could take this, and either would deserve it. It was also clear that they wouldn't hang around in deciding who it was to be.

The early running went with Reilly, but then Ruzicka found jacks as Reilly had tens and it swung decisively to the Czech Republic. Reilly was powerless to stop Ruzicka ramping up the aggression and getting things over with in a matter of about four hours, start to finish.
