Ace-Nine Like a Boss for Hazard

Chris Bean

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With 88,000 in the middle on a flop of K♦K♠3♦, Jorge Palomino bet 18,000 from the small blind and was called by under the gun Conan Hazard and Will Kassouf on the button.

The Q♦ came on the turn and Palomino checked which opened the door to Hazard to bet 37,000. Kassouf made the call and Palomino folded.

Hazard continued the aggression on the J♣ river by moving all in for 128,000. Kassouf went into the tank and used a time bank card, using his usual verbiage to try and glean any information from a calm Hazard. With five seconds left on the clock Kassouf chose to fold and Hazard tabled A♦9♣ for a successful bluff.

Jorge Palomino	172,000

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

With 60,000 in the middle, five players saw a flop of 8♦5♠3♠ and Will Kassouf bet 38,000 from the cutoff. This was the exact amount of chips that Majid Nadeem had in his stack on the button and moved all in. Conan Hazard in the small blind also made the call and the two others folded.

Both players checked to showdown after the runout of Q♦Q♠. Kassouf tabled A♥5♥ for two pair, top kicker which was enough to send Nadeem to the rail with 6♦5♦, while Hazard mucked his hand.

Will Kassouf	356,000 356,000	356,000
Conan Hazard	161,000 161,000	161,000

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The $2,200 EAPT Grand Final took just under thirteen hours for a winner to emerge from 16 hopefuls who made it to the final day. Boris Kolev may have entered the final table as the shortest stack with just six big blinds, but he held all of the chips after the final hand had been dealt.

Kolev last defeated Brazilian business owner Ueberton Cristian De Aquino in heads-up play, taking home the top prize of $437,000 after a heads-up deal. This Grand Final win marked his second-largest career tournament cash after his first WSOP bracelet win in 2021, and brought the Bulgarian pro's career tournament winnings to just over $3,700,000.

$2,200 EAPT Grand Final Final Table

Place	Player	Country	Prize (USD)
1	Boris Kolev	Bulgaria	$437,000*
2	Ueberton Cristian De Aquino	Brazil	$358,000*
3	Christopher Puetz	Germany	$210,000
4	Andrey Pateychuk	Russian Federation	$155,800
5	Almas Umarov	Kazakhstan	$117,000
6	Iurii Brechalov	Russian Federation	$93,500

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

All the chips went into the middle preflop three ways with Paul Harrison at risk for 183,000 and unbelievably Albert Sapiano for 67,500, who has had more ups and downs than a corkscrew rollercoaster. They were both covered by Daniel Elder.

Albert Sapiano: K♣Q♦ All in
Paul Harrison: A♦K♠ All in
Daniel Elder: A♣K♥

The case king on the K♦7♠5♦ gave all three players top pair, but the Q♥7♥ completed the runout to give Sapiano kings and queens and secure a triple up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Elder	211,000 8,000	8,000
Albert Sapiano	183,000 137,000	137,000
Paul Harrison	134,000 62,000	62,000
