HIGH ROLLERS EVENT
John dominated the table
There is lot of preflop action and it looks like John dominated the table. Alex wants to fight but without cards and board it's extremely difficult. Black Member lost almost every 3-bet pot and now he is the shortest stack with 90,000. John has 425,000 and Niklas is like a rock with 135,000.
There were two actions when cYde clashed with John. First time John raised from the button to 6000 and cYde 3-bet him to 18,500. John went all-in and Alex insta folded.
In the second hand we saw the flop. Niklas limped from the button and cYde limped from the small blind as well. John checked and we saw 7:h T:s 4:c on flop. After Alex checked, John bet 10,800 and cYde was the only caller. When 4:d hit the turn, Alex checked again and folded after John put chips worth 17,200 behind the line.

cYde is no more – eliminated in 3rd place - (€53,700 total)
When I was posting last update cYde was playing his last hand in the High Rollers Event in Prague. John raised from the button and Alex 3-bet him with A-9 from the big blind. Then John went all-in. This time cYde decided to call because John did that move few times before. Our Black Member was right, John showed K-7 suited. Everything changed on flop when a King came down. No help for Alex on the turn and river and he is out.
He rescued €22,600 from the prize pool when 4 players made a deal and now got another €31,000 for 3rd place. Congratulations!

The game flow
There is no more PokerStrategy.com members in tournaments so we are back to Main Event.
I will try to describe you the game flow – no only hands. Before the break there were two pros (Romanello and Horecki) two fish (Italian guys Leonzio and Bono) and one crazy Russian guy which I can't classified. There was a time when Horecki and Romanello dominated the table but crazy Russian (Peter Skripka) made some moves to disturb. Leonzio and Bono were waiting for the cards. They're really look like scary money.
Not long ago before the break former chipleader Leonzio doubled Marcin Horecki up and got crippled. After that hand he had only 3 BB left and gone.
In the very last hand before the break Emilliano Bono doubled-up through Peter “CrazyRussian” Skripka and reach close to chip lead with over 5,000,000. Skripka has about 2,500,000 left.
So, lets start the action from another level:
Blind level: 30
Blinds: 60,000 / 120,000 ante 10,000
Initial Stack: 30,000
Entries: 563
Players remaining: 4
Average stack:4,222,500
1. Roberto Romanello 6,200,000
2. Emilliano Bono 5,185,000
3. Marcin Horecki 3,545,000
4. Peter Skripka 2,285,000
MAIN EVENT
Peter Skripka eliminated in 4rd place - (€163,000)
Action folded to Marcin “Góral” Horecki on the small blind and he went all-in. Peter Skripka called almost immediately.
Horecki: K:s T:s
Skripka: K:h 7:c
Everything was almost clear on flop T:c T:h 2:s. Horecki caught a trips leaving Skripka only a very small chance to chop the pot. When A:d hit the turn Russian was drawing dead. River was J:h and we're down to last three players!
1 Roberto Romanello 6,200,000
2 Marcin Horecki 5,700,000
3 Emilliano Bono 5,185,000

MAIN EVENT
Blinds up!
Players are now on 15 minutes break. Roberto Romanello is now huge chipleader with over 10 million but blinds are now higher and 3-bet from one of the shorts means all-in, so Romanello has to be careful if he don't want to double one of them up.
There is no more 5000 chips.
So, lets start the action from another level:
Blind level: 31
Blinds: 80,000 / 160,000 ante 20,000
Initial Stack: 30,000
Entries: 563
Players remaining: 3
Average stack:5,630,000
1. Roberto Romanello 10,300,000
2. Emilliano Bono 3,575,000
3. Marcin Horecki 3,270,000
MAIN EVENT
Emilliano Bono doubled up through Roberto Romanello
After no action we saw preflop all-in and call. Emilliano Bono won another race and it seams he's really lucky in this tournament. Bono raised to 370,000 from the button and after Team PokerStars.com Pro member Marcin Horecki folded, Roberto Romanello ask for a chipcount. Answer was 1,500,000 and he pushed all-in from the big blind. Bono snap called:
Bono: Q:d J:c
Romanello: A:h T:s
Board: J:s 5:h 3:d K:h Td
Bono hit his Jack on flop to double up. Romanello had a gutshot on the turn but Ten on the river was not enough to beat Italian.

MAIN EVENT
Marcin Horecki eliminated in 3rd place (€247,000)
Team PokerStars.com Pro member Marcin “Góral” Horecki is out of the tournament eliminated by Emilliano Bono. Horecki moved from the button for 1,550,000 and when Roberto Romanello folded, Emiliano Bono snapped from the big blind.
Bono: A:c J:d
Horecki: A:h K:s
Bono needs lot of help with dominated hand. Flop came down 8:h A:d T:c and Horecki was still ahead. When 2:h hit the turn, Polish pro was preparing to take the pot but … the J:s has been revealed on the river and Bono caught his second pair to send Marcin to the rail.

MAIN EVENT
Romanello extends the lead
Players are now on break. As we expected, there are many small pots. Roberto Romanello knows that Bono is like a rock. He plays always when he has a hand. Roberto perfectly fit his game to the opponent. He bets in right way and fold when he has to fold. Bono looks like he's going tired his patience has almost gone. Roberto is waiting for big mistake and this is very possible.
Roberto extends the leads and he's up to 11,500,000 when Bono has 5,500,000.

MAIN EVENT
Roberto Romanello is a newest EPT Champion!
It is DONE! Roberto Romanello has won EPT Prague Main Event. That was preflop action. Roberto went all-in with pocket T-T and Bono revealed A-J. When we saw flop 4-4-T it was almost over. When 5x hit the turn nobody was watching the river … and then it happened something … awesome. Roberto started to cry like a baby. He was crushed. He went out of the tournament area leaving everybody – media, players, friends near final table. He went into lobby, sat down on a chair and was crying. Nobody had courage to go after him and he was alone for few minutes. Then he went back to the tournament area and couldn't stop crying. Someone gave him a beer to cool emotions down. He IS happy, he can't believe it and he is crushed!
