Top 6 players lead Stephen Song to EPT Main Event final table, winner receives €1.5 million

Mike Watson with third EPT title

The playoffs, or the third day of play, of the €10,300 EPT High Roller got underway with the last 28 players to emerge from the 431-player field. Some of the players who made it to the final day were Erik Seidel, who finished in 20th place, and Boris Angelov, who had to settle for 11th place.

The final table started with Enrico Camosci dominating the action, dispatching several of his opponents on the way to the final heads-up cash. Prior to heads-up play, the chip advantage was 4:1 on Camosci's side against Watson. The players agreed to an ICM deal and a play-off for the title and €20,000 to boot.

Although Mike Watson started the final table with the second smallest stack he eventually managed to turn the scales on his side. Although the biggest prize money went to Enrico Camosci, who managed to cash €734,100, heads-up play was dominated by Mike Watson, who won his third EPT title.

Final Table chipcount:

The final heads-up match between chipleader Stephen Song and Andrew Hulme saw the latter build up his stack during the final day to claim the title. It was chipleader Song who had a slight advantage, but he and Hulme agreed to deal and call for €56,800. In the last hand, Song had the chip advantage and sent all in with A7o which Hulme called with a pair of eights. A flop of 5-3-6 opened up a gutshot for Song, which he completed right on the turn (4). Stephen Song thus took home his second EPT title and €1,290,386 in prize money.
