The first event on the schedule was the €230 buy-in Amateur Championship Of Poker (ACOP). It attracted 616 players who created a €123,200 prize pool that was shared among the top 79 finishers.
You may be wondering what a seasoned professional such as Black was doing playing in an amateur event, but the tournament was open to everyone. Black sniffed out the value and joined the party.
Black’s decision to flick in the €230 proved to be a moment of genius because he first navigated his way to the final table before securing all the chips in play.
