Cyprus’s Georgios Tsouloftas had the chip lead a good part of the final table, but things began to fall apart as he doubled other players at the table.
According to PokerNews reporter Frank Visser, it was a limped pot between Hiep Ninh from under the gun, Tsouloftas from the small blind, and Mark Johnston from the big blind.
Tsouloftas fired out for 1 million into a pot of 3.2 million on the flop. Johnston folded before Ninh jacked it up to 3 million. Tsouloftas three-bet jammed for 7.2 million and Ninh called.

Hiep Ninh:
Tsouloftas was unable to complete his open-ended straight draw or get a pair of runners to get ahead of Ninh’s big slick after the turn and river completed the board.
Tsouloftas took home a tasty prize of €142,760 for his commanding fourth-place performance while the remaining three players took an unscheduled break to discuss a potential deal.
