Level 37
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Manel Montalban raised to 600,000 under the gun. It folded to Adrian State in the big blind, who defended. The 3♦9♥8♥ flop checked through to the Q♣ turn.
Sate checkec, Montalban tossed in 800,000, and State raised to 2,400,00. Montalban made the call, and the 7♣ river completed the board.
State pondered for a while before putting Montalban all-in for 4,600,000. Montalban spent several time banks while weighing his options. Eventually, he decided he could not fold and made the call for his tournament life.
State showed K♦Q♦ for top pair, pipping Montalban's Q♥J♦ to send the online qualifier out in fourth place. Montalban took home €123,760 for his efforts, being the first player to be rewarded with a six-figure payout.
