The Main Event drew 724 entries against its €400,000 (~US$ 535,000) guarantee, creating a big overlay for the players who made it through the tournament. Nec returned for the final day third in chips among the 16 remaining players and worked his way through the field before reaching the final four.

A deal was then agreed with Shah, Ori Avraham and Umberan Akhtar, securing substantial payouts for all four players while leaving the title to be decided at the table. Nec eventually took care of that part, defeating Shah heads-up to close out the tournament.

AAlexandru Nec came into the final day with 3,885,000 chips, sitting third behind Ireland’s Ian Walsh and TFFT.

Walsh held the lead with 7,355,000, while TFFT had 4,450,000. With the big blind already at 500,000, there was plenty of room for the stacks to move around as the final 16 battled for the remaining spots.

Six German players were among the final 16, but none made it to the nine-handed final table. Alexander Fischl was the first of the group to go in 16th, followed by Klas Klinker, Bela, and Mousaaa. Thomas Koehler finished 12th, Frank Andreew took 11th, and Sascha Christian Frick was eliminated in tenth.

Walsh also saw his lead disappear as the final table approached. The Irishman eventually finished ninth for €9,150 in total value, leaving the remaining eight players to continue the race for the title.

Nec stayed in the mix throughout the final stages and eventually found himself among the final four.

With four players left, Nec, Shah, Avraham and Akhtar agreed to a deal.

The agreement locked up significant payouts for everyone involved, but there was still a trophy to play for. The players continued with the title and the remaining differences in payout still to be decided on the table.

Akhtar finished fourth for €33,950 in total value, while Avraham took third for €36,350.

That left Nec and Shah heads-up for the OLA Main Event title.

Nec had the better of the stacks going into the final duel, holding 24.8 million against Shah’s 11 million with the big blind at 500,000. Shah managed to double during the heads-up battle, giving himself another chance to turn things around, but Nec kept the lead as the match continued.

Eventually, it came down to one final hand.

KQ Gets the Job Done

Nec picked up K Q on the button, while Shah held J 8 .

Shah checked the K 4 5 flop, and Nec bet 1 million. Shah responded with a raise to 3 million, and Nec moved all-in for 24 big blinds.

Shah made the call.

Nec was ahead with top pair, while Shah had a pair and a flush draw. The 8 on the turn gave Shah another pair and additional outs, but the T river failed to improve his hand enough.

Nec’s pair of kings held, bringing the tournament to an end and securing the OLA Main Event title.
