Germany wins in the end (€35,401)

Oemuer Phelivan, who was last in line at the time of the deal he himself proposed, put on a lot of pressure after the agreement. He finally cracked Manuel Neive de Sousa (below) with an all-in check-raise... the Portuguese called with Top Pair but the flush went in to reduce the field to two players.

The final duel only lasted a few minutes asAdrian Jimenez only had 7.4 million to the German player's 13.6. Phelivan finally called Ace 4 of Clubs following an open shove on the button from his Spanish opponent. Jimenez returned a mismatched Jack of Ten and nothing came except a 4 river to confirm the German victory in this Cup, which attracted 1,009 entrants!

A huge comeback by Phelivan (below), who was down to 3 blinds with 40 minutes to go on Day 2 and chatted up two double-ups before finding an Ace-King-King-King-6 to start the Final Day at 16 left with the second-largest stack... behind his future runner-up, who finally pocketed the lion's share of the huge prizepool generated by this new 4-figure attendance at the Casino Resort de Namur.
