On the river of 2d 3d 6h 4h Kd, there were about 10,000,000 in the pot, and Prohorovs bet the same amount. Žižka decided to call with Ah 2s, but it wasn’t enough against his opponent's 6d 5h. After this hand, Prohorovs took the chiplead, and shortly after, Prohorovs opened to 3,000,000 and Žižka called. On the flop of 6d 6c Jd, Prohorovs continued with a bet of 2,500,000, and Žižka called. On the turn of 2h, Prohorovs pushed Žižka all-in, but Žižka folded quickly. In the final hand, Žižka opened to 2,000,000, and Prohorovs re-raised to an effective 20,000,000 with Ks Qs. Žižka snap-called with Ad Jc. After the board of Kh 3d Qd Qd 4d, Zdeněk Žižka took home 39,000€ for second place.

The deal is done!

Žižka – 39,250€
Prohorovs – 34,250€
The remaining 8,566€ will be played for.
