Stefan Peukert opened from the button to 1,000, only to run into a three-bet from Chau Lam in the small blind for 7,000. Peukert called and saw the flop come 8♠J♦5♠, with both players checking.
The 3♣ landed on the turn, and Lam put out a bet of 9,000. Peukert called again.
The 6♦ hit on the river, and Lam didn’t slow down, firing a big bet of 35,000. Peukert paused briefly before making the call. Lam showed A♣7♣ for ace high while Peukert revealed 10♣8♣ holding a pair of eights.
Kalle Parkkinen opened the action in the cutoff with a raise to 1,200. Severi Palmu, sitting on the button, responded with a three-bet to 4,200. Parkkinen came back with a four-bet to 16,500, and after some thought, Palmu called.
The flop came 2♣8♥J♣, and Parkkinen fired 8,100, only to be called.
The 10♦ hit on the turn, and Parkkinen checked. Palmu took a moment with his time bank before betting 20,000, and Parkkinen decided to fold.
You can almost feel the energy building at 2026 WSOP Europe at King’s Casino in Hilton Prague this morning. The high rollers are in town, which means some of the biggest names in poker are ready to throw down.
The €8,400 GGMillion$ High Roller kicks off at 2 p.m. local time, and with last year’s €25,000 edition drawing huge numbers, expectations are high for another big field. The buy-in has been reduced this year, but with the festival running strong over the past 10 days, another stacked lineup is on the cards.
Shaun Deeb
Last year’s champion? If you guessed Shaun Deeb, you’re right. The reigning WSOP Player of the Year captured his eighth bracelet in this very event and banked €329,000 by defeating Iago Savino heads-up. A couple of brutal coolers kept him from No. 9 in Prague, but Deeb is exactly the kind of high-quality player this field will see.
