Luuk van den Belt
Luuk van den Belt

Maksim Shuts limped in from middle position and Youness Barakat limped behind from the hijack. Ying Kan limped from the small blind, before Luuk van den Belt raised to 25,000 from the big blind. Shuts and Barakat called, while Kan got out of the way.

The flop came QJ10. Van den Belt bet 20,000, and both opponents called.

Van den Belt fired a 55,000 bet on the K turn. This time only Barakat called.

On the 10 river Van den Belt shoved for around 120,000, and Barakat snap-called. Van den Belt showed AQ83 for the nut-flush, but Barakat had JJ98 for a rivered full house to send Van den Belt to the rail.

Flashback: Andras Nemeth Cruises to Victory in PLO Grand Slam Malta Championship

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Andras Nemeth
Andras Nemeth

If there was one thing that was characteristic of Andras Nemeth's run on the third and final day of the €10,300 PLO Grand Slam Malta Championship, it was the ability to show down full houses. No fewer than seven recorded times, the eventual champion won a pot with trips plus a pair, two of which were used to take down Aku Joentausta in a short heads-up battle after the two had discussed a deal. Nemeth was awarded €407,854 for his victory, as the pair had left €65,000 to play for, while Joentausta had to make do with the €325,346 he secured in the deal, his largest-ever recorded live cash as per The Hendon Mob.

It was Nemeth's first appearance at a Diamond Poker Series event, and the established high-stakes pro who goes by "probirs" online left quite the impression as he managed to conquer the field of 182 entries at Casino Malta and take the largest slice of the €1,880,000 prize pool. Nemeth's newly acquired Diamond Poker Series trophy will be a fitting addition to his cabinet filled with the many trophies he has collected since his first live poker victory in 2011.
