Kevin Killeen: 10♦10♥ 
Vidar Oie: 8♠7♠
Killeen held the nuts, but Oie had a monster draw. The 3♠ turn completed Oie's flush and Killeen was sent to the rail.

Scott Margereson opened to 1200 from middle position and faced a three-bet to 3600 from Gerald Karlic. Margereson made the call.
The two went heads-up to the 10♠5♥9♥ flop, where both players opted to check. The dealer revealed the A♣ on the turn, and after another check from Margereson, Karlic put out a delayed continuation bet of 3200 which Margereson called.
The 9♦ completed the board, and Margereson checked for a third time. Karlic took a moment to consider his options before ultimately checking back. Margereson tabled A♥Q♠, and his opponent mucked his cards.

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.

Action was on the flop on a board of 5♠K♣10♣ and Michal Mrakes was all in with a short stack against Johannes Verhagen, who had him well covered as the cards were revealed.
Mrakes had J♥10♥ for a pair of tens, but Verghagen turned over K♦Q♣ for a pair of kings.
The turn came the 3♥ and river the 6♥, so Verghagen held to win the pot, sending Mrakes to the exit.

Wissam Ouertani was already all-in for around 4,000 and was competing for the main pot of around 13,000 on the 10♥3♠4♣A♥ board. There was a side pot of 10,000 between Patrik Jaros and Isabella Lemoscosta, which didn't get added to on the turn as both checked.
When the A♠ completed the board, Lemoscosta checked and Jaros fired 10,000 from the button. After a short time thinking, Lemoscosta called.
Jaros showed Q♠Q♦, Ouertani tabled 10♠7♠, and Lemoscosta flipped 8♦8♠. In the end, Jaros won both pots with his pocket queens, which meant Ouertani was eliminated.
