A Historic Win: Westerlund’s Fast Rise to the Top
Entering the final day second in chips, Westerlund wasted no time asserting herself, adopting an aggressive playstyle that proved successful. She took control of the final table early, applying relentless pressure on her opponents—the event, which shattered previous attendance records, showcased Westerlund’s calm under pressure and poker prowess.
The defining moment of the tournament occurred on the very first hand of three-handed play. Westerlund, holding A♥ J♦, called off both Krzysztof Chmielowski (Q♠ Q♣) and Igor Pihela Sr (A♣ 6♥). Despite Chmielowski’s strong position preflop, Westerlund’s flush draw and the turn A♠ turned the tide in her favour. The river 5♥ sealed her victory, making her the last player standing.
