Jack Moore limped the button and Giuliano Bendinelli checked the big blind in the last hand of the level to the flop. Bendinelli checked, Moore bet 350,000 and received the call.
On the turn, Bendinelli checked once more and Moore now fired a larger bet of 1,450,000 to receive a reluctant call ahead of the river.
The third check in a row by Bendinelli brought a third bet of Moore worth 1,500,000 and that left the latter with 2,500,000 behind – just over eight big blinds for the next level. Bendinelli then moved all-in.
Moore reluctantly paid it off and Bendinelli instantly jumped up and flipped over his cards with the same excitement as in the 2022 EPT Barcelona Main Event, revealing . Moore only had the for the straight and was ousted in second place.
Both had agreed to redeem their bounties after the end of the heads-up with two for Moore and three for Bendinelli. Sweating one by one, Moore pulled the €2,700 first and Bendinelli hit the largest remaining bounty of €4,700. As small consolation, Moore hit the €2,400 while Bendinelli cashed a combined €2,800 on top thereafter.
Stay tuned for a recap of today’s final day, which lasted fewer than four and a half hours.
