21:55 Christoforos Christoforou finishes in second place for 57,750€
On the river 8x Qx Tx 8x Kx, there wasn't much in the pot, and Rymar bet 500,000. Christoforou went all in for the remaining three million or so. Rymar immediately called, revealing Kx 4x. Christoforou had only Tx 4x, and The Festival Main Event has crowned a new champion.

Rymar holds more than 27,000,000, and Christoforou has 3,700,000.

On the river Kx 5x 4x 2x Jx, Rymar went all in effectively for 3,200,000, and Ilija called with aces. However, Rymar had Jx 4x, and his slowplay unpleasantly punished Ilija.
21:15 Rymar expertly utilizes the snowball effect
Rymar holds more than 20,000,000, and whenever he can, he opens, taking from opponents who aren't nailed down. Both of his short-stack opponents are feeling the pressure.

19:40 Not a pleasant way to lose a stack
On the flop Kc Jc 9h, Christoforou bet 500,000, and Vaczy raised to 1,400,000. After a moment of consideration, Christoforou called, and on the turn 3h, both checked. On the river As, Christoforou went all in for 4,800,000, and Vaczy, with a bad feeling, called, revealing a set of nines. However, Christoforou held Ax Ax, taking a significant portion of Vaczy's stack with the rivered higher set. After this hand, Vaczy is left with about 750,000, which he loses a few hands later with Qc Jc against Ac Jd held by Ješko on the board Th 6h 8d 3h 8s. Vaczy takes home 16,850€ for fifth place.
19:15 Bo Alm busts in sixth place for 13,345€
Rymar opened from the small blind for 325,000, and Bo 3-bet to 850,000. Rymar called, and on the flop Qs 3s 5d, he checked. Bo went all in for 3,300,000, and Rymar snap-called with Kx Kx. Bo revealed sevens, and after the turn Ah and river Tc, it's the end of the road for him in the Main Event.
