The final day of a hugely successful 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus is on the horizon, with 24 players set to return at noon today, October 20, to the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa to battle for the $10,300 EPT High Roller title and first place prize of $865,700.
A total of 456 entries created a $4,423,200 prize pool, from which 63 places were paid. All remaining players have locked up a guaranteed payday of $30,600, but all will have their eyes on taking home the title.
The remaining field is a high quality one, with the chip lead being held by an all-time great, Irishman Steve O'Dwyer (2,235,000), and another, Swede Niklas Astedt (1,200,000), lurking ominously in the top ten.
Those players will also face an extremely tough competitor in the form of Portuguese player Diogo Coelho (1,995,000), who is sitting just behind O'Dwyer in the standings and is gunning for his second High Roller trophy of the week, having already triumphed in the $2,200 Eureka High Roller for over $350,000.
2016 EPT Barcelona Main event winner Sebastian Malec and three-time EPT trophy winner Andras Nemeth also sit in the top ten, and will represent dangerous foes for O'Dwyer.

Diogo Coelho: Q♦9♦
Coelho had the freeroll with backdoor diamonds, but it didn't happen as the two chopped up the pot on the 6♠7♦ runout.

Action folded to Mehdi Chaoui on the button, who opened to 350,000, leaving himself about 60,000 behind. Hannes Jeschka three-bet jammed from the small blind with the covering stack, and Chaoui got the rest in the middle.
Mehdi Chaoui: A♦J♠
Hannes Jeschka: A♥4♥
Chaoui had Jeschka dominated, and his double-up was confirmed by the J♦8♦4♣9♠3♦ runout, Chaoui ending up with top pair jacks.

Stoyan Madanzhiev raised from early position to 50,000 and Hannes Jeschka shoved from the cutoff for 325,000. When it got back to Madanzhiev, he called.
Hannes Jeschka: 9♥9♦
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♠K♣
Jeschka was at risk and needed to win a flip in order to stay alive. The Austrian player surely breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the 9♠ in the window, but seeing the 8♠5♠ that followed probably didn't help the nerves, as Madazhiev picked up a flush draw. A 4♥ on the was safe, but the 2♠ river gave Madanzhiev a flush, eliminating Jeschka.
