Grzegorz Kozieja: K?J?

Grzegorz Kozieja opened from the button to 400,000. Mats Ullereng raised to 1,200,000 from the small blind. Jonas Hagstrom then four-bet to 2,600,000.
Kozieja folded before Ullereng went into the tank. Eventually he moved all in and was snap-called by Hagstrom.
Mats Ullereng: 9?9?
Jonas Hagstrom: A?K?
Ullereng said to Hagstrom that he "should have taken the deal" as the 9?Q?5? flop was dealt. The turn Q? gave Ullereng a full house and the 2? river was inconsequential and left Hagstrom with crumbs.

Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Mats Ullereng opened to 500,000 from the button. Humberto Lopes Galindo moved all in from the big blind for 2,800,000. Ullereng called.
Humberto Lopes Galindo: A?9?
Mats Ullereng: K?J?
The flop of 4?10?6? was safe for Galindo but the 3? turn provided Ullereng with flush outs. He hit the K? to eliminate Galindo.

Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
David Vinaya opened to 400,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 1,300,000 from Grzegorz Kozieja in the small blind.
Action back to Vinaya, who promptly four-bet jammed for around 3,500,000, with Kozieja making a quick call.
David Vinaya: K?J?
Grzegorz Kozieja: 8?8?
Vinaya needed to connect with the board, but he was almost drawing dead after the Q?8?3? flop gave Kozieja middle set.
The 3? turn confirmed Vinaya's fate, with the 5? river completing the board.

Klemens Roiter jammed from the small blind for 1,375,000, and was looked up by Jonas Hagstrom.
Klemens Roiter: Q?7?
Jonas Hagstrom: A?Q?
Roiter had run into a monster in the big blind, and the K?4?3?K?3? runout did not provide him with an unlikely escape.

The road to PokerStars European Poker Tour glory always has plenty of twists and turns, and the record-breaking 2023 EPT €5,300 Prague Main Event was no exception.
Jon Kyte, who had led the tournament from Day 3, entered the finale with 229 big blinds and a historic chip lead, one that was assumed to be unassailable. Padraig O'Neill had other ideas and was unexpectedly awarded the final EPT Trophy of the 2023 season after overcoming the Norwegian in heads-up play.
Known affectionately as "Smidge" in the Irish poker community, O'Neill came into the day as the shortest stack and turned his 12 big blinds into a €1,030,000 payout. With the victory, he became Ireland's second-ever EPT Main Event champion, 11 years after Steve O'Dwyer reigned supreme in Monte Carlo.
