David Vinaya opened to 400,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 1,300,000 from Grzegorz Kozieja in the small blind.
Action back to Vinaya, who promptly four-bet jammed for around 3,500,000, with Kozieja making a quick call.
David Vinaya: K?J?
Grzegorz Kozieja: 8?8?
Vinaya needed to connect with the board, but he was almost drawing dead after the Q?8?3? flop gave Kozieja middle set.
The 3? turn confirmed Vinaya's fate, with the 5? river completing the board.

Grzegorz Kozieja opened from the button to 400,000. Mats Ullereng raised to 1,200,000 from the small blind. Jonas Hagstrom then four-bet to 2,600,000.
Kozieja folded before Ullereng went into the tank. Eventually he moved all in and was snap-called by Hagstrom.
Mats Ullereng: 9?9?
Jonas Hagstrom: A?K?
Ullereng said to Hagstrom that he "should have taken the deal" as the 9?Q?5? flop was dealt. The turn Q? gave Ullereng a full house and the 2? river was inconsequential and left Hagstrom with crumbs.

Mats Ullereng jammed from the button and Grzegorz Kozieja got his remaining stack of around 2,700,000 into the middle.
Grzegorz Kozieja: A?J?
Mats Ullereng: A?3?
Kozieja looked good for a double-up, but the 5?4?3? flop put Ullereng in front with a pair of threes.
Kozieja now required a jack for the pot, or a deuce for the chop, but the 8?8? turn and river were bricks to bring an end to the heads-up battle and give Ullereng the trophy.
Ullereng let out a quiet “Yes!” In celebration as the river hit, and the players shook hands, saying “Good game”.
