The PokerStars Belgian Poker Series main event in Blankenberge was won by Dutchman Danny Latten, who collected €70,000 for his first major title.

Victory came on a flop of J♠[10h]3♥, when Latten moved all-in and Christiaan Vanzieleghem, with few chips behind, made the decision. Vanzielghem had 4♣3♠ for a pair, but Latten had K♥9♥ for the flush draw and gutshot straight draw. The turn was 8♣, changing nothing, however the river was 9♣ giving Latten the upper pair.

Vanzieleghem received €45,500 for being runner-up.

The €630 + €70 event at the Belgian coast was a super success, with 404 runners, including Team PokerStars Pro and previous WSOP main event winner Chris Moneymaker, generating a €294,920 prize pool.
