After a short heads-up, Alexandru Nitu is the champion

Nitu controlled the pace throughout the heads-up. In the final hand, Nanos 3-bet from the BB and Nitu just called with pocket aces. On an Ax 8x 2x flop, Nanos bet 3,300,000 and Nitu called. The 9d turn saw Nanos move all-in for 5,700,000 with Qx Qx. Nitu snap-called with Ah Ad, and after a blank river, Alexandros finishes as the runner-up for 23,540€.
The deal is done

The heads-up players agreed to split the prize pool, taking 23,540€ each, with 5,000€ left to play for.
22:10 Mattia Floris finishes in 3rd place for 13,570€

Nanos put Floris all-in for 5,600,000 from the SB with Jd 7d. Floris called with Kc 5h, but the Ah 3h Jc 5c 7s runout gave Nanos the winning hand. Mattia Floris takes home 13,570€ for 3rd place.
22:05 Milosz Siedlecki finishes in 4th place for 10,130€

Nanos shoved for 19,000,000 for the second hand in a row, and Siedlecki decided to call with a pair of sixes. The 4x 8x 4x Kx Ax runout sealed his fate, and Milosz Siedlecki takes home 10,130€ for 4th place.
22:00 Comeback?

Nanos opened to 6,000,000, leaving himself just 1,000,000 behind. Siedlecki shoved with Ac Qs and Nanos called with a pair of threes. The 9h 7h 2d 3h Qd runout stopped the bleeding, and Nanos doubled up. Siedlecki was left with just 11BB.

Two hands later, Nitu opened to 2,600,000 from the SB and Nanos called from the BB. Both players checked the Kh Jc 3h flop, followed by another check on the 7c turn. The 6s river brought no action either, and Nanos took down the pot with As Jd.
21:40 Nanos continues to slide

On a 5s 8h 9c As turn, Nitu bet 2,100,000 into a pot of just under 5,000,000. Nanos called and Siedlecki folded. Both players checked the 7c river, and Nanos turned over Ac Js. It wasn't enough to beat the Belgian's Ad 5d.
21:20 Nanos loses a big one

On a Kh Js 2d 6c turn, there was around 10,000,000 in the pot and Nitu bet 4,600,000. Nanos called, and on the Ac river, Nitu moved all-in for 8,100,000. Nanos wasn't exactly thrilled with the spot, but eventually found the fold with Kx Qx. Nitu took over the chip lead shortly after the break.

Around three hands later, Steinberger shoved his 11BB with Kc 9h, and Nitu found Js Jc in the SB. The 8c 7s 2d 4c 4d runout sealed Steinberger's fate, and after an excellent performance, Peter takes home 7,760€.
