Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Oliver Weis limped in from the button and Georgios Tsouloftas moved all in for 4,100,000. Weis asked for a count before calling.

Georgios Tsouloftas: K♥2♣ All in
Oliver Weis: Q♥7♥

Weis' rail began calling for a seven, and they got their wish as the flop came 7♠4♦3♠ to give Weis top pair. The 5♠ fell on the turn to give Tsouloftas outs to a straight, but the Cypriot missed the 5♥ river and had to settle for a runner-up finish in his native country as Weis secured his first EPT title.
