Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Jaehyung Park shoved from the small blind for 4,525,000 and Paul Runcan snap-called from the big blind.
Jaehyung Park: A♦6♠ 
Paul Runcan: A♣K♣
Park had the chance to get heads-up just a few moments ago, but now was fighting for his tournament life.
A flop of Q♥7♠5♥ didn't help his cause, but the 7♥ did bring around some chop possibilities. Unfortunately for Park, the K♠ was no good, and he had to settle for third.

Pedro Marques raised to 2,000,000 on the button with just 1,900,000 behind. Jaehyung Park shoved from the small blind for 8,425,000, and after Paul Runcan folded in the big blind, Marques called for the rest of his stack.
Pedro Marques: 4♠4♣
Jaehyung Park: A♥K♣
If Park could hit an ace or king, then the EPT Prague Main Event would enter heads-up play. However, the board ran out 3♦9♠3♠8♣10♥, which was clean for Marques' Sailboats. Marques doubled up and Park was now the clear short stack.

Pedro Marques made it 600,000 to go from the button and Paul Runcan defended from the big blind.

A 7♦ landed on the turn and after Runcan tapped the table again, Marques bet 1,675,000. Runcan used a time bank before he slid in a raise of 4,000,000. Marques had just over 8,000,000 remaining in his stack, and after a short time, elected to call.
The 10♣ dropped on the river and Runcan debated for a while before he checked, and Marques quickly checked back.
Runcan tabled J♦4♦ for a flush, beating the A♣Q♠ of Marques.
Runcan now holds more than double the combined chip stacks of both Park and Marques!
