Event Recap

With six-minute levels throughout, the pace of play was furious as the tables began to fill with the great and the good of the poker playing world. By the time late registration closed, a total of 69 entries had generated a prize pool of $690,000.

They included EPT Online champions Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski, Eelis "EEE27" P?rssinen, and Sam "Str8$$$Homey" Greenwood, as well as Stevens.

Other big names included former WCOOP Main Event winner Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz, Niklas "Lena900" Astedt, Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos and Ole "wizowizo" Schemion.

Just nine places were paid, with unknown "BoldSergey" holding the chip lead with 12 players remaining.

Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian and Daniel "Oxota" Dvoress both headed to the exit before Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet became the unfortunate bubble boy.

Final Table Recap

The first two eliminations in the money were Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon and Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph before the final table of seven was reached, with a familiar face in the lead.

Michael "imluckbox" Addamo put his chips to good use, eliminating Vyacheslav "VbV1990" Buldygin to increase his chip lead. The Australian looked poised to use his typical final table aggression to great effect, only to bluff off a significant portion of his stack to Stevens.

Addamo did regain the chip lead with the elimination of Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford in sixth, but Stevens suddenly sprung into life. The Belgian cleaned up the final four eliminations in less than 20 minutes, sending Bujtas home in fifth before doubling through Addamo to move atop the leaderboard.

He then swept former chip leader "BoldSergey" and Badziakouski aside before finishing off Addamo in the very first hand of heads-up.
