Khossein Kokhestani Eliminated in 2nd Place (€615,000)
Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
After losing a massive boat over boat pot in the previous hand, Khossein Kokhestani completed the button and Aleksandr Shevliakov moved all in from the big blind. Kokhestani made the call for 9,750,000 and players flipped their cards.
Khossein Kokhestani: A♠6♣ 
Aleksandr Shevliakov: K♣2♥
Kokhestani had the advantage preflop, but the 7♠2♣9♦ flop brought Shevliakov a pair of deuces and put him out in front. The turn came the Q♥ and the river was another blank, the 8♣.
Just like that, it was all over. Kokhestani was eliminated from the tournament in second place for €615,000, while Aleksandr Shevliakov was crowned the EPT Monte-Carlo 2025 champion.
