Vojtech Ruzicka has won the PokerStars.fr European Poker Tour Deauville High Roller for a cool €313,000 after final table that lasted four hours.
When play began at 13:00CET this afternoon, six players sat down in the vast tournament area of the Casino Barriere, each of them guaranteed €47,500 for their efforts. The first player to pick up this amount was Steve Silverman who committed his short stack with 
and ran into the 
of Alexandre Reard. The board ran out 
and Silverman busted out.
Bryn Kenney joined Silverman on the rail almost an hour later. Ruzicka opened to 70,000, Kenney three-bet all-in with 
and Ruzicka called with 
. The final board read 
to eliminate Kenney in fifth place.
Within minutes of Kenney’s exit, Martin Jacobson was knocked out by Rusicka. Jacobson and Rusicka had clashed earlier in a pot that cost Jacobson half of his stack, and Rusicka helped himself to the other half when he called Jacobson’s three-bet shove with 
. Jacobson turned over 
and although Jacobson spiked a ten on the flop, the board contained four spades by the river and Rusicka held a fifth in his hand.
Reard became the third place finisher 40 minutes later when he got his chips in with 
versus the 
of Reilly on a 
flop. The turn and river were the and respectively and Reilly’s flush condemned Reard to third place.
The chip counts going into heads-up were almost level but Reilly started to pull ahead by constantly hammering Rusicka Then a massive hand went down when Reilly got his money in with pocket tens against the jacks of Ruzicka to catapult the latter into the lead.
From that moment on it looked like Ruzicka was going to claim the title, and that is exactly what he did. At just before 17:00CET, a limped pot brought a 
flop, a flop that Ruzicka bet 70,000 on and Reilly called. The turn saw a 140,000 bet from Ruzicka, a shove of 650,000 from Reilly and a snap-call from Ruzicka.

Ruzicka had flopped a straight and had locked up the hand. The inconsequential 
completed the board, busted Reilly and left Ruzicka to be crowed the High Roller’s champion.

A big hand just occurred out of nowhere, but it resulted in a split pot.
The heads-up duo seemed to get to the river of a 
board without any drama at all but the river saw the players explode into action. Ruzicka checked to Reilly and Reilly bet 240,000. Ruzicka then asked for a count of the bet size before check-raising to 610,000.
"This is so sick," said Reilly who then said something along the lines of "you have to know I have the straight."
Rusicka remained expressionless as he waited for Reilly to come to his decision. That decision was the call and the cards were revealed.

Both players held a straight and the pot was split.
