A New EPT Champ Will Be Crowned as Wiciak Runs Into a Set
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Four-handed on a flop of 6?K?2?, Vasileios Panagiotidis bet 13,000 from the cutoff before button Nathan Tetart raised to 34,000.
Simon Wiciak, covering his mouth with his hoodie, then used a time bank from the big blind before moving all in for 152,000. Kubanychbek Abakirov was under the gun and asked for a count before calling, while both Panagiotidis and Tetart got out of the way.
Simon Wiciak: A?7?
Kubanychbek Abakirov: K?K?
Abakirov turned over top set and Wiciak needed to complete his flush draw to stay alive. He stood up from his seat and began filming the action as the dealer turned over the 5?, followed by the J? as the EPT Barcelona champion missed his draw, ending his run at back-to-back EPT titles.
