There are only two players remaining in the 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Grand Final Barcelona €101,000 Super High Roller with Jake Schindler and Stephen Chidwick to battle for the title and €1,750,000 first-place payout. A defeat still comes with a hefty prize of €1,100,000, which should help to drown the sorrows rather quickly.

Jason Koon had to settle for 4th place and €500,000 for his efforts after his three-bet shove came at the wrong time. Down to 5.975 million, he faced a min-raise by Chidwick on the button and opted to jam with {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} only for Chidwick to call with {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. The board came {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Koon's treys were no good.

Jean-Noel Thorel eventually finished in third place for €726,000, his best-ever result after plenty of close calls in High Roller and Super High Roller tournaments. Thorel was involved in a three-bet pot with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} against the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} of Schindler and continued for 3.0 million on the {J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Schindler called. On the {10-Clubs} turn, Schindler improved to a set and called all in to see Thorel drawing dead and down to three big blinds only, a blank {A-Hearts} river was a formality.

The very next hand Thorel was all in from the button at blinds of 100,000/200,000 and Chidwick as well as Schindler called. The {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop was checked, Chidwick bet the {5-Hearts} turn to isolate successfully and turned over {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for top pair and the flush draw. Thorel was drawing thin with {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and the {9-Hearts} river even gave Chidwick a flush.
