Arnaud Mattern, EPT Prague Champion

Arnaud Mattern raises from the small blind to 200,000, and Gino Alacqua moves all in. Arnaud calls immediately, covering Gino by 500,000.

Arnaud: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

Gino:

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

The flop is scary for Arnaud: {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

. The turn is the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

, removing the queens and tens as outs but giving Gino any nine, any ace, or any diamond to double up.

The river is the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

, meaning Arnaud wins the hand with kings and deuces, to become the inaugural EPT Prague champion, winning €708,400.

Gino Alacqua is the runner-up winning, €407,300.
