Hossein Ensan finds himself deep once again at EPT Prague, four years after he notched his first major victory here. A lot has changed for him in the poker world since then, but it's worth looking back on his breakout victory.
Luke Marsh had raised the cutoff and after that, the action escalated as Luigi Shehadeh on button three-bet to 81,000. Andreas Boelling in the small blind four-bet to 400,000 with around 340,000 behind. Marsh folded and Shehadeh moved all in, Boelling called it off.
Andreas Boelling: 
Luigi Shehadeh: 
The board came 
and Boelling was covered to hit the rail while Shehadeh scooped one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.
