Hendrik Juncker limped in from the button with the {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Mats Karlsson checked his option with the {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop gave Karlsson the flush draw while Juncker made top pair.

Karlsson opted to check and subsequently faced a bet worth 200,000 before check-raising to 700,000. Juncker peeked at his cards again and made the call to create a pot of two million.

The duo headed to the {q-Clubs} turn on which Karlsson carefully cut out a bet of 1,000,000 with two times as much behind. His opponent winced, studied the board briefly and called.

No diamond appeared on the river but instead it came the {6-Spades} to double-pair the board. Karlsson moved all-in for the last 2.2 million and was beat into the pot by Juncker to crown a champion.

Karlsson's run ends just shy of victory as he departs in second place for €46,460. Juncker dominated the proceedings for most of the final table and has been crowned the 2022 Unibet Open Malta Main Event champion, taking home the top prize of €75,000.
