The �10,300 Main Event at the 2019 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Europe is done and Lukas Zaskodny has been crowned the winner. He took home �906,770 for beating the 504-entry field and a heads-up deal with Josef Snejberg. Snejberg settled for �718,230. The podium was completed by Romain Lewis. Lewis took home the bronze for the biggest live cash of his career, �428,000.

The tournament ended with quite shallow stacks and most of the eliminations were in standard situations. Zaskodny addressed this after he won: ��We were playing for a lot of money, and the pay jumps were quite huge. Even though the table is quite shallow, I understand that nobody wants to be eliminated.��

Zaskodny also said he is very good friends with Snejberg. ��One month ago we had a groundbreaking with my garden. And we were talking and saying that we��ve never played heads-up together, even though we��ve played together many years. So one month after that, we got heads up.��

Final Table Action

Only eight players remained out of the 504 entries that were made in the Main Event. Charlie Carrel started the day as chip leader after a dominating performance on Day 3 of the tournament. He started off on the same track by immediately busting out Rastislav Paleta in eighth place (�100,000). After that, however, Carrel wasn't able to win a single hand and he ended up losing every single all-in situation to end up in seventh place himself. Carrel took home �130,000 for his efforts, despite having one-third of the chips earlier in the day.

Team partypoker pro Roberto Romanello was one of the players that made his way to Day 3 through the online Day 1+2. Romanello had a stellar start on Day 3 but his run came to an end in sixth place after being one of the players that doubled through Carrel. Romanello took home �170,000. Sam Grafton was one of several players that held the chip lead during the final table but his run came to an end in fifth (�220,000).

Romanello wasn't the only player at the final to make it to the final table after finding his way to Day 3 through the partypoker client. Severin Schleser (4th - �300,000) and Lewis (3rd - �428,000) also set foot in the Kings Resort for the first time during this series on Day 3 of the Main Event. Schleser qualified for the tournament through an online satellite on partypoker with a buy-in about 100 times smaller than the �10,300 most of the players ponied up.

The last non-Czech player in the tournament was Lewis and the heads-up match started with the two players from the Czech Republic after a little break. Zaskodny and Snejberg agreed on a deal and they would finish the tournament playing for �100,000. Snejberg already secured �718,230 and Zaskodny, who held the chip lead going into the heads up, secured �806,770. Snejberg took over the lead during the heads-up but Zaskodny then won two big pots to end the tournament and take home the extra �100,000.

That wraps up the coverage of the 2019 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Europe in Rozvadov, Czech Republic.
