In Estonia, specifically at the Chesterfield Poker Club, the Diamond Poker Series PLO Grand Slam Tallinn is currently underway with a total guarantee of €4,500,000. There are eight tournaments in total with buy-ins ranging from €1,100 to €25,500. The series runs from April 4 to April 13.

Today we take a closer look at tournament number two, which was The 5k Million with a buy-in of €5,200 and a guarantee of €1,000,000. This one brought 202 entries and so the guarantee was collected. A prize of €210,310 awaited the winner.

Final Marathon

Day 2 was also the final day and the game lasted 16 hours. Names like Tom-Aksel Bedell and 2019 WSOP Main Event champion Hossein Ensan were also at the final table here.

Tom-Aksel Bedell finished in seventh place with a prize of €35,510, while Hossein Ensan worked his way up from the shortstack to the chipleader position. After eliminating the player in fourth place, the final three players negotiated a deal in which Ensan and Leonid Yanovski secured €146,000 and shortstack Youness Barakat secured €142,940.

After the deal, it was already 5:00am, but there was still the trophy to play for and an extra €15,000 for the winner. Hossein Ensan and Youness Barakat sat down in the final heads-up, with nearly even chip counts. Play was completed at 7:00am, with Youness Barakat emerging as the winner. He took home the trophy along with a prize of €157,940, and with this amount, his lifetime live tournament winnings surpassed the $1.1 million mark.
