The €10,300 High Roller was the first event of the 2019 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague festival. Players must be saving themselves for future events as only 61 entrants competed, although they created a €591,700 prize pool.
Only the top eight finishers received a cash payout so nobody wanted to bust in ninth-place and burst the bubble. Unfortunately, the very nature of poker tournaments means someone has to burst the bubble and that someone was Matthias Eibinger.
Tsugunari Toma open-shoved for 19-big blinds from late position and Eibinger called off his 10-big blinds from the big blind. Toma showed ace-nine and was trailing Eibinger’s dominating ace-king. Both players paired their ace on the flop, with Toma spiking a nine on the turn. The river was no help to Eibinger and the EPT Prague High Roller was in the money.
Ace-King No Good Again
Ace-king was no good for Arsneii Karmatckii either. Anton Yakuba, a cash game specialist, min-raised to 24,000 from under the gun. Karmatckii responded with a three-bet all-in for 48,000 on the button and Yakuba called. Yakuba revealed pocket sixes and Karmatckii ace-king. Those sixes held true and the EPT Prague High Roller lost another player; Karmatckii collected €23,670.
Karmatckii’s seat hadn’t even gone cold when Turkey’s Orpen Kisacikoglu busted. The Turk raised enough to leave himself with only one big blind in his stack. Mateos re-raised all-in to isolate Kisacikoglu and it worked because Bertrand Grospellier folded. Kisacikoglu called.
It was ace-king for Mateos and king-queen for his opponent. Mateos improved to a flush on the river to reduce the player count of the EPT Prague High Roller.
The final six became five when Toma busted at the hands of Vladimir Troyanovskiy. Troyanvskyi raise-called a 170,000 shove from Toma and turned over king-queen when prompted to do so. Toma was slightly ahead courtesy of his ace-four, but fell behind on the flop thanks to a king landing. A queen on the turn left Toma drawing dead and the three on the river was inconsequential.
Team partypoker pro Grospellier was the next to head to the cashier’s desk. The man known as “ElkY” was short stacked, although he doubled through Troyanovskiy. ElkY came unstuck when he three-bet all-in over a Derek Ip open and Ip called. Ip showed pocket hacks and ElkY ace-queen. The flop came down with two queens, but also a jack, meaning ElkY had trips but Ip held a full house. Both the turn and river missed ElkY and he busted in fifth-place for €48,520.
You Have To Win Your Coinflips
Troyanovskiy lost a coinflip against Yakuba to finish fourth in the EPT Prague Main Event. All the chips went into the middle preflop, Troyanovskiy holding sevens and Yakuba ace-jack. A jack on the flop left Troyanovskiy drawing to the two remaining sevens; neither appeared on the turn or river.
Ip became the last player not to win a six-figure prize when he fell in third-place. Again the chips went in preflop and again it was a coinflip. Mateos raised and called Ip’s shove with ace-queen with Ip revealing a pair of black jacks. Those jacks remained best on the flop before falling behind on the queen turn. A brick on the river busted Ip from the EPT Prague High Roller and sent the tournament into heads-up.
Mateos held a 2,045,000 to 1,005,000 chip lead over Yakuba and it didn’t take long to press home this advantage. The final hand saw Yakuba limp in on the button and Mateos check his option. The nine-six-deuce flop saw Mateos check, Yakuba bet 45,000 and Maeos check-raise to 140,000. Yakuba called.
The turn was a four, Mateos led for 265,000 and Yakuba called. Mateos jammed all-in on the ace of clubs river and Yakuba called off his remaining 710,000 chips. Mateos showed four-deuce for two pair and Yakuba could only muster king-queen.
Yakuba took home €128,000 for his runner-up finish while Mateos scooped €177,500.
It has been an incredible few months for Mateos who has now won the last three events he’s cashed in. He won a $25,500 Super High Roller at the partypoker Caribbean Poker Party for $520,464. The Spaniard then took home $1,162,805 for winning the Caribbean Poker Party Main Event. Now he has a victory in the EPT Prague High Roller and is showing now signs of slowing down.

Adrian Mateos Poker Database Player
The $10,300 buy-in Main Event attracted 948 entrants leaving partypoker with a $520,000 overlay. Dozens of the world’s best players bought in, including Mateos, hoping for a big win in The Bahamas.
Each of the 135 players who made it through to Day 3 received prize money for their efforts. Such luminaries as Manig Loeser, Ryan Laplante, Isaac Haxton, Kahle Burns, and 2019 Poker Masters winner Sam Soverel cashed. Kristen Bicknell, Dzmitry Urbanovich, Darren Elias and Sergi Reixach also cashed.
Mateos in the Middle of the Pack
Day 4, the final day, saw 24 players return to the tables with Mateos in the middle of the pack. Team partypoker pro Ludovic Geilich was the chip leader with 116,000,000 chips but he endured a torrid time.
Geilich was forced to fold on the flop in a three-bet hand against William Blais which hurt his stack. Soon after, Blais opened to 4,000,000 and Geilich called on the button with pocket aces. Alex Foxen squeezed all-in for 37,800,000, Blais folded but Geilich called. Foxen showed king-jack with the jack of hearts. The board ran all hearts to gift Foxen a flush and leave Geilich with a short stack of four bigs. He busted shortly after in 14th place for $65,000.
Former WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess, Foxen, Jonathan Kozel, and Oskar Prehm busted to set the nine-handed final table.
Mateos Third in Chips at the Final Table
Philipp Gruissem was the first player to bust from the final table, suffering the same fate as Geilich. Gruissem got his chips into the middle with aces and Hunichen called with sixes. A six on the turn improved Hunichen to a set and sent Gruissem home in ninth for $140,000.
Hunichen sent Gregory Baird to the showers in eighth for his first six-figure prize. Peter Jetten pushed all-in with king-ten and lost to Scott Wellenbach’s queens to leave only six players in the hunt.
Those six became five when Oleg Mandzjuk three-bet all-in with five-four and lost to the ace-eight of Wellenbach.
Blais got lucky against Geilich earlier in the day, but ran out of luck against Hunichen. Blais looked set for a double when his ace-eight was against queen-ten. That was until Hunichen spiked a queen on the river to end Blais’ tournament. This was only Blais’ second cash and it weighed in at $500,000.

Philanthropist Wellenbach secured the $650,000 fourth-place prize only 10 months after winning $671,240. Wellenbach’s short stack shove with queen-five fell foul to the ace-nine of Aaron Van Blarcum.
Final Three Players Strike a Deal
The final trio of players locked horns for a short while before going on an official break. They struck a deal during that break which left $100,000 for the eventual champion.
Hunichen secured $1,097,195 but would win no more as he fell in third. The American committed his stack with ace-three and lost to the dominating ace-king of Van Blarcum.
Both Mateos and Van Blarcum were almost level in chips at the start of heads-up but Mateos soon pulled away. Van Blarcum, winner of the WPT Legends of Poker, was down to 134,000,000 chips at the final hand. Mateos held 814,000,000 chips.
Van Blarcum moved all-in with ten-deuce and Mateos called with jack-nine. A nine landed on the flop to put the ball in Mateos’ court. Both the turn and river bricked, busting Van Blarcum in second-place for $970,000, leaving Mateos to collect $1,162,805.
