Yaniv Alfi - 256 000
Dmitri Dan - 204 000
Andriy Palyuga - 158 000

Right at the beginning of the final table, we saw a hurricane named Marek Blaško. He handled four players in such a quick sequence that they did not even have time to move chips. Blaško took care of Pieyre Maggi, Andriy Palyuga, Shay Alfi, Dmitri Dan and Yanif Alfi.

Another eliminated became Matúš Gabzdil, who after the opening of the game by Marek Blaško sent a shortstack of 350,000 with Ax 6x. Marek, who was playing well, had sevens at that moment, with whom he called. Seven on the flop "equipped" Gabzdil, who took home a beautiful 7,120€ for his performance in the tournament.

Miro Lelek took third place when he got into a preflop all-in squeeze for his stack with Kx 9x. Blaško turned AxJx and after a double ace on the board sent Lelek out of the tournament. Miro took home beautiful 9,285€ from ME IPC.

The deal did not take place for a split of a second and the right heads-up was played with a bit of tension how it will turn out. Marek Blaško systematically cut the opponent's stack. Blaško did not ease up in heads-up and finished the Israel Poker Championship with a preflop all-in with aces to his opponent's KxTx. Ogoc Minh Hoang took home 13,466€.

Marek Blaško performed a one-man show at the final table and the start-finish mode worked great. For his famous performance, Marek received a prize of 20,000€, the title of champion and a trophy intended only for the winner. Congratulations!
