The final day of the €2,000 buy-in, €2,000 buy-in, 229 entries and €398,231 prizepool 2k PLO tournament was also on the schedule at WSOP Europe in Rozvadov yesterday. A €91,400 prize awaited the winner.
50 players entered the final day, but only 35 of them were able to make it to the ITM, where a minimum prize of €4,130 awaited the players. Finishing just outside the final table were Hungarian player Ferenc Deák, who took home €5,099 for 12th place, and German player Dennis Weiss, who took home €5,860 for 11th place.
The final table included a trio of German-speaking players as well as one local player, which was Milan Skácel. Also seated here was well-known Brazilian player Vivian Saliba, and the only player with any WSOP bracelet here was Hokyiu Lee from Hong Kong, who started the final table as a massive chipleader.
In ninth place, Croatian player David Sosic busted out for €6,980. Just behind him, home player Milan Skácel also went to the cashier, taking €8,600.
After Lee was eliminated in third place (€40,200), Vivian Saliba and German player Markus Anheier entered the final heads-up. Saliba had a 3:1 lead at the start of heads-up play. That meant nothing, however, as the players moved up and down the chipleader position. Finally, however, Saliba hit a flush in the last hand of the day to defeat his opponent's two pair. Vivian Saliba thus took home her first WSOP bracelet and a €91,400 bounty to go with it, putting her over $1 million in lifetime live tournament winnings. Markus Anheier took home €59,700 for his second place finish, his highest career payday.
