The €1,100 NLH WSOPC Main Rozvadov Event Quick Recap

The €1,100 buy-in no-limit hold’em WSOPC Main Event drew an entry field of 1,110, creating a total prize pool of €1,037,850. Of the 1,110 entries, the top 143 players picked a piece from the $1 million prize pool.

Adrian Kazaku kicked off the final table as the chip leader, followed by Samuel Todisco in second place. Meanwhile, Elidan started his final table journey with the second smallest stack. 

The first player to head the rail was Oleh Okhotsky. With less than 2 BBs, Okhotsky went all-in with ace-ten of hearts and got called by the pocket kings of Todisco. The board ran in favor of Todisco, giving him a set to eliminate Okhotsky in 9th place for a €12,750 payday. Claudio Di Giacomo, a WSOP Europe regular, soon followed Okhotsky in 8th place, earning €16,300. 

Daniel Elayani was the next to fall at the table. He was short-stacked and jammed his remaining 8 BBs with king-three offsuit, Adrian Florin Bilan, holding ten-nine, called to see the flop. Bilan spiked his ten on the flop and kept the lead to send Elayani out in 7th place. Elayani collected €22,800 for his effort. 

Despite Todisco’s top-notch poker play at the table, he found himself the table short after running into the queens of Mattia Melideo with tens. He soon went all-in holding pocket sixes, and Elidan tank-called ace-queen. The board ran out Kh-Qd-Js-As-3d to end the tournament life of Todisco in 6th place. Todisco picked up €31,300 for his impressive run. 

After winning a small pot against Bilan with jacks, Elidan again found himself with pocket tens. Bilan had ace-king of clubs and he was looking to go big. Bilan from the button raise and Elidan from the small blind 3-bet. Bilan having one of the best hands in poker shows no sign of slowing, he 4-bet, and Elidan went all-in. He snapped to see a brickboard favoring Elidan. He earned €42,500 for his impressive 5th-place finish. 

A few hands later, Mattia Melideo opened-shove with ace-eight. William Adrian Kazaku called with his pocket eights. The board ran in favor of Kazaku, not improving Melideo’s hand.

Heads-Up

Natanel Elidan started the heads-up play with 95 BBs against Kazaku’s 44 BBs. The heads-up play was long and grueling, lasting nearly two hours. Kazaku gave tough competition to the Israel player, reversing the chip lead role several times, but Elidan eventually took the lead before the final hand was dealt.

On the final hand of the tournament, Kazaku shoved with ten-four and got called by the pocket nines of Elidan. The board came out Td-3h-8s-4d-9s giving Elidan the coveted circuit ring and a staggering €172,000. Kazaku settled for €104,300 for his runner-up finish in the tournament.
