Final Table Recap
Ahoor was leading the group when the final table kicked off while Day 3 chip leader Wellington Guedes held the shortest stack.
Guedes scored an early double-up to avoid elimination and not long after that, Dylan Slama crashed out in ninth place, followed by Richard Dubourg, and Baptiste Carteau.
What transpired next were two quick-fire eliminations, with Jacques Bellity finding his king-jack cracked by Ahoor’s pocket jacks in sixth place.
Wellington Guedes follow him out in fifth place after his all-in move with queen-ten from the small blind found a caller in Tetart`s ace-nine.
Parham Ahoor next lost one of the biggest pots on the final table. Ahoor had shoved all in from the small blind after flopping two-pair, but unfortunately for him, big blind Tetart made a straight on the board, sending Ahoor out in fourth place.
The three-handed play saw Tetarrt take over the chip lead, and it was Teunis Kooij who ultimately missed out making it to the heads-up play after he ran his ace-queen into Tetart’s pocket kings, with nothing changing on the rundown,
Tetart and Gregoire Ceran Maillard came into for the heads-up play with the former commanding an overwhelming, ten-to-one chip advantage over Maillard. The latter had a large and noisy rail supporting him and went on to make two double-ups but Tetart, took it all way. The final hand of the tournament turned out to be a cooler as Maillard moved all in with pocket jacks, but Tetart woke up with pocket queens and just like that won the title!
