Juncker Pays Off Karlsson to Fall Behind

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Mats Karlsson opened the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for 400,000 and Hendrik Juncker defended {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The {j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop was all for Karlsson and Juncker check-folded to a bet worth 300,000.

Juncker then opened the {10-Clubs}{3-Spades} and folded when Karlsson simply ripped it in with the {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Karlsson was the next to min-raise the button with the {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Juncker flat-called with his {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Following a flop of {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, Juncker checked and Karlsson's bet worth 400,000 was called.

Karlsson spiked the magical {k-Diamonds} on the turn to cement his lead, picking up another check-call by Juncker for 600,000. Last but not least, Juncker checked the {4-Spades} river with queen-high. Karlsson's final bet was worth 1,000,000 and Juncker eventually paid it off to see Karlsson pull into the lead.

Mats Karlsson Eliminated in 2nd Place (€46,460)

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Hendrik Juncker limped in from the button with the {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Mats Karlsson checked his option with the {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop gave Karlsson the flush draw while Juncker made top pair.

Karlsson opted to check and subsequently faced a bet worth 200,000 before check-raising to 700,000. Juncker peeked at his cards again and made the call to create a pot of two million.

The duo headed to the {q-Clubs} turn on which Karlsson carefully cut out a bet of 1,000,000 with two times as much behind. His opponent winced, studied the board briefly and called.

No diamond appeared on the river but instead it came the {6-Spades} to double-pair the board. Karlsson moved all-in for the last 2.2 million and was beat into the pot by Juncker to crown a champion.

Karlsson's run ends just shy of victory as he departs in second place for €46,460. Juncker dominated the proceedings for most of the final table and has been crowned the 2022 Unibet Open Malta Main Event champion, taking home the top prize of €75,000.
