Nurzynski Misses Straight Flush Draw

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Haoxiang Wang raised from the button with {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and Piotr Nurzynski called with {j-Spades}{9-Spades}. On the {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Nurzynski check-called a 700,000 bet from Wang and picked up the straight flush draw after the {k-Spades} hit the turn.

Both players checked to see the {a-Hearts} river, and Nurzynski's hand bricked. The latter opted to check, and Wang checked behind for a showdown and won the pot with his pair of fives.

Heads Up Underway

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Piotr Nurzynski and Haoxiang Wang have returned to their seats and before the cards got underway for the heads-up, tournament director Toby Stone confirmed that both players have locked up the Platinum Pass worth $30,000.

Nurzynski was the winner of the last longer competition for all live and online qualifiers and Wang will receive it by default as a result.

Ognyan Dimov Eliminated in 3rd Place (€725,621)

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Ognyan Dimov

Ognyan Dimov moved all in for 3.4m from the button with {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and was snap-called by Haoxiang Wang in the big blind holding {k-Spades}{8-Hearts} after Piotr Nurzynski had folded in the small blind.

Dimov's hand was dominated, and he would need help from the board to survive.

The {4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop was safe for Wang, as was the {6-Hearts} turn. Dimov needed to spike a seven on the river to keep his dream alive, but the {q-Hearts} fell, and it was not to be for the Bulgarian.

Dimov's exit in 3rd place for his agreed up amount of €725,621 marked the end of the qualifiers last longer and meant that Piotr Nurzynski won the Platinum Pass, and Wang was gifted the winner's Platinum pass because of this.

Dimov will have to wait until the next EPT for another chance of becoming a two-time champion after his win in Deauville back in 2015.

Wang Takes Big Pot Off Dimov

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Haoxiang Wang limped in with the {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Ognyan Dimov raised to 1.05 million with {A-Spades}{J-Spades}, Wang called. On the {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, Wang checked and called a bet of 700,000.

The {8-Clubs} appeared on the turn and Wang now led for 2.6 million and Dimov called with his ace-high and better gutshot straight draw. Both ended up checking the {7-Spades} on the river and Wang won the pot after getting there with the last card.

Marques was the first player to depart the final table post-money deal and walked away in 4th place for €698,369.
