Level 26 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

In a limped pot, all three players checked through the A♠8♥Q♥ flop. It checked to Andras Nemeth on the button again on the Q♦ turn, but this time he bet 350,000.

Andreas Thelin called before Aku Joentausta mucked his hand. Nemeth sized up to 1,250,000 on the A♦ river, and Thelin check-called after some thought.

Nemeth showed A♣K♠4♠4♣ for trip aces, winning the pot when Thelin's cards were sent to the muck.

Andras Nemeth made it 875,000 on the button. Small blind Andreas Thelin three-bet to 2,875,000. Nemeth clarified the correct number before he called.

Thelin took a few moments before he jammed all in for 4,000,000 on the 10♠9♣7♣ flop. Nemeth wished his opponent good luck as he quickly called.

Andreas Thelin: K♠K♥Q♥6♦ All in
Andras Nemeth: A♠Q♠J♥3♦

Thelin's kings were not threatened by the 5♥ turn, but the K♦ river completed Nemeth's straight draw for an unlucky exit.

Thelin, who only has one recorded cash on his name and admitted to be playing his first "real" tournament, missed the heads-up but walked away with €197,400 as a consolation prize.

Flashback: Imad Derwiche Wins PLO Grand Slam Tallinn €10,300 Championship

Amid the riffling of chips, shuffling of cards, and occasional shouts of “all in” and “pot,” one voice stood apart back in April.

Imad Derwiche likes to have fun at the poker table. He’s not short for table talk, even holding his own against Martin Kabrhel when the two loquacious players shared a table. When he wants to make a pot-sized bet, he usually gives his opponent a “discount.” When he puts another player to a decision, he cautions them to exercise “discipline.”

That fun-loving, casual approach to the game worked wonders, and it didn’t help that Derwiche went on the run of a lifetime to emerge victorious in a field of 148 of the best Pot-Limit Omaha players from Europe and across the world in the Diamond Poker Series PLO Grand Slam Tallinn €10,300 Championship.

“I’m proud of me because I know that the field was exceptional. Many professionals from over Europe. I’m very proud because, you see, poker is a hobby for me. I’m a businessman. I spend my hobby to play poker," Derwiche said after claiming the trophy and €338,370 first prize. "For me to win this tournament, Omaha, with the best players in Europe, for me is exceptional. It’s fantastic. I’m very proud."

Andras Nemeth raised his button to 700,000, and Aku Joentausta called in the big blind.

The duo checked through the 6♣10♦A♦ flop and 7♥ turn for Joentausta to bet 600,000 on the 9♣ river.

Nemeth tossed in a quick call, and his A♠9♠5♠4♣ bested the A♣7♠4♥4♦ of Joentausta at showdown.

Level 27 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Andras Nemeth opened his button to 900,000, and Aku Joentausta defended in the big blind. Joentausta called Nemeth's continuation-bet of 700,000 on the J♣9♠Q♠ flop before the 10♥ turn checked through.

Joentausta asked for the size of the pot before he bet 3,000,000 on the J♥ river.

Nemeth snapped him off, catching Joentausta bluffing with A♣10♠9♦7♦. Nemeth played J♠9♥8♠5♦ for jacks full, taking in the sizable pot.
