The event day saw it played down to the 8-handed final table, which is also the money bubble, the bubble boy being Artem Litvinov. On Level 16 (4,000/15,000/30,000), Smith opened to 65,000, Litvinov shoved with 159,000 and Smith called:
Smith: A K
Litvinov: A T
Board: 4 4 3 Q 8
Smith won with a top kicker.
Dan Smith
The hand also made Smith the chipleader of the particularly strong finale, slightly ahead of Mike ‘Timex’ McDonald.
The final table is as follows:
Prizes:
1st place: €1,075,500
2nd: €676,100
3rd: €399,500
4th: €291,900
5th: €215,100
6th: €153,600
7th: €138,300
