EPT Cyprus Eureka Champs Side-by-Side
EPT Cyprus Eureka $1,100 Main Event and $2,200 High Roller winners Leo Worthington-Leese and Diogo Coelho are on the same table, sat in the one and eight seat respectively.
Leese took home $314,030 from the $2,662,850 prizepool for his efforts. He finished third in the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event this year for $437,918, so he went two better to claim his first EPT trophy.
Coelho's triumph came on on the heels of a near miss at the 2024 WSOP Main Event, where he bowed out in 10th place for $800,000, just shy of the final table. In Cyprus, he redeemed himself by defeating Italy's Michele Guerrini heads-up, following a deal that saw Coelho claim $357,048 along with the Golden Shard.
Coelho was in action, three-betting to 13,000 from the big blind after Simeon Spasov opened to 4,000 from the button. Spasov called and then called Coelho's continuation bet of 7,500 on the J♣8♠6♠ flop. Coelho then check-called for 6,000 on the 2♠ turn before the 6♣ river checked through to showdown.
Coelho tabled K♦2♣ for sixes and deuces, and Spasov couldn't show anything better, and he mucked his hand.
