: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The road to PokerStars European Poker Tour glory always has plenty of twists and turns, and the record-breaking 2023 EPT €5,300 Prague Main Event was no exception.
Jon Kyte, who had led the tournament from Day 3, entered the finale with 229 big blinds and a historic chip lead, one that was assumed to be unassailable. Padraig O'Neill had other ideas and was unexpectedly awarded the final EPT Trophy of the 2023 season after overcoming the Norwegian in heads-up play.
Known affectionately as "Smidge" in the Irish poker community, O'Neill came into the day as the shortest stack and turned his 12 big blinds into a €1,030,000 payout. With the victory, he became Ireland's second-ever EPT Main Event champion, 11 years after Steve O'Dwyer reigned supreme in Monte Carlo.

Niklas Astedt open raised to 13,000 from late position and Javid Ismayilov was the only player to call.
The flop came 8♥2♠8♣ and Astedt continued for 10,000, which Ismayilov called. The turn was the 8♦ and Astedt fired again for 12,000. Ismayilov called once more to see the river.
The river was the 6♥ and both players checked to showdown. Astedt had A♦Q♥ for ace-high with the trip eights on board. It was enough to win the pot as Ismayilov mucked.

The action was caught with around 120,000 in the middle with two players looking at a full board of 9♦5♣Q♥7♦Q♦.
Javid Ismayilov, in the big blind, checked the action to Niklas Astedt, on the button. Astedt placed a sizable wager of 150,000. Ismayilov responded by moving all in for 230,000. Astedt wasn't pleased by Ismasyilov's jam but quickly made the call.
Javid Ismayilov: 9♠6♦
Niklas Astedt: 10♦8♦
Astedt's flush picked off Ismayilov's bluff to send him to the rail.
On an adjacent table, Pavel Plesuv could also be seen making his way to the rail.

Action was on the river on a board of 3♣7♣5♠2♠J♥ and Ilia Pavlov pushed 80,000 into the middle in a pot of a similar size, a bet worth around half of his opponent's stack. Lander Lijo went into the tank and then made the call.
Pavlov had Q♦10♦ for a bluff and Lijo turned over A♦10♣ for ace-high, calling off the bluff to win the pot.
