Gerard Rubiralta and Tobias Peters went to the turn on a board of 2♣5♣7♠10♥ with around 150,000 in the pot when Rubiralta moved all in from the small blind. Peters went into the tank, taking several minutes before the clock was called. He eventually committed his last 115,000 from the hijack.

Rubiralta showed A♣4♣ for straight and flush draws, while Peters had 8♦7♦ for a pair of sevens. The 2♦ river was safe for Peters, and he doubled up.

At another table, Francesco Pagliazzo had opened to 16,000 in the hijack as action went on Naum Barulia in the big blind. He also took a few minutes to act, and the clock was called. The tournament official gave him only five seconds to act, and he three-bet to 44,000. Pagliazzo then moved all in, and the clock was again called on Barulia before he stuck in his last 10,000.

Naum Barulia: A♦Q♦ All in
Francesco Pagliazzo: 10♥10♠

Barulia picked up a straight draw on the K♥J♣3♥ flop, but he improved no further on the 4♠ turn or 8♥ river and was sent to the rail.

Or Nezer raised to 16,000 in early position. Menikos Panagiotou responded with a three-bet to 47,000 in the cutoff, but Nezer deemed the amount too low as he moved his entire stack of 334,000 over the line.

Panagiotou was visibly displeased with the situation, but he eventually called to put Nezer at risk.

Or Nezer: A♥K♥ All in
Menikos Panagiotou: A♣Q♠

Nezer had Panagiotou dominated, but the J♣A♦Q♣ flop made Panagiotou a big favorite. His two pair remained best on the 9♦3♥ runout, and Nezer quickly headed to the exit as Panagiotou was awarded the massive pot.

Oleksandr Sybirtsev raised to 16,000 on the button before Fotios Ntamaris moved all in for 72,000 in the small blind. Bartosz Wesolek then reshoved in the big blind, and Sybirtsev let out a few frustrated sighs before tossing his cards into the muck.

Fotios Ntamaris: A♠6♥ All in
Bartosz Wesolek: A♥Q♠

Ntamaris found himself dominated and at risk, and the 9♦4♥2♥J♠K♥ board offered no help as Wesolek's queen-kicker continued to play to earn him the knockout.

The stage was set last December for an epic battle inside the Hilton Prague, and it delivered in every way possible. Six players returned for the final day, and only one walked away a champion. In the end, it was Pedro Marques who outlasted a record-breaking field of 1,458 and toppled the seemingly unstoppable Paul Runcan to claim the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague €5,300 Main Event title.

For Marques, the victory was more than just another tournament win. "It’s an amazing, special feeling. One of the best days of my life, for sure," he said after securing the title and a €963,450 payout following a heads-up deal with Runcan. The Portuguese star, ranked second on his country’s all-time money list, added, "Winning a Main Event is completely different from any of my other wins—it’s a really special moment."

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sandro Burkhard moved all in for 90,000 in the cutoff and Mario Navarro called in the big blind.

Sandro Burkhard: 3♠3♦ All in
Mario Navarro: A♣10♣

Burkhard hit a set on the 6♦3♥2♥ flop to take a big lead, while Navarro picked up a straight draw on the 4♥ turn. The A♠ river arrived too late for Navarro, and he handed over most of his stack.

At another table, Bogdan Cirtina bet 22,000 from the button on a board of 4♦A♠7♦K♥ before Lars Tungel raised to 64,000 in the big blind. Cirtina called, and the 6♣ fell on the river.

Tungel then bet 109,000, and Cirtina again called. Tungel then showed K♠K♦ for a turned set, and Cirtina mucked.

"Did I get lucky?" Tungel asked Cirtina, who revealed he had ace-queen.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Picking up the action on a 3♦3♣10♦Q♣ turn, Moshe Eliyahu checked from the big blind to Xhemajli Kalimashi under the gun, who fired a bet of 50,000 into the pot of 125,000.

Eliyahu called to the 8♠ river, where Kalimashi sized up to 75,000. After some time in the tank, Eliyahu assembled a call and pushed it in the middle.

Kalimashi quickly tabled A♣Q♥ for top pair, and Eliyahu took a final look at his cards before adding them to the muck.
