In just the second hand of heads up Glen Chorny has become the PokerStars EPT4 Grand Final champion!

The final hand played out with Hungarian Denes Kalo open-shoving from the button and Chorny making the call. It was A 5 for the Canadian against Kalo's K Q. The flop brought a magic ace as A Q 6 hit the felt. Kalo had outs but was drawing extremely thin after the 6 turn. The T river was not a queen and Chorny had won it.

Kalo grabs €1,179,000 for second and the massive €2,020,000 first place prize, the trophy and the honor of a PL.com winner interview goes to 22-year-old Canadian Glenn Chorny. Booyah, it's over in Monte Carlo!

The heads-up battle is about to begin here in Monte Carlo between Glen Chorny of Canada and Hungary's Denes Kalo. Kalo's been here before, having lost his heads-up match against Julian Thew at the EPT4 event in Baden, and will be looking to do one better here at the Grand Final. It'll be a tough road to victory for him though as he begins this match with a massive chip deficit. Here are the chip counts going forward.

Glen Chorny	$11,200,000
Denes Kalo	$1,400,000

We are down to heads-up with the elimination of Maxime Villemure in 3rd place. The French-Canadian played an extremely powerful game and terrorized every table he was at with his penchant for re-raising before the flop.

The last hand of his tournament started with Villemure limping his small blind and Glen Chorny checking in the big blind. The flop came down A T 4 and both players checked. The turn brought the J and Villemure check-called a $200,000 bet. The 9 hit the river and Maxime led out for $550,000.

Chorny didn't take long to move all-in and it took Maxime about the same amount of time to call. Q 8 for Villemure had gotten set up big time against Chorny's K Q and that was all it took to send Villemure out the door in 3rd for a whopping €715,000.

Maxime Villemure just crippled Denes Kalo. On a 7 7 J flop Villemure made it $250k to go. Kalo then reraised it to $580k and Villemure pushed all in. Kalo was forced to fold and Villemure showed just 10-8 offsuit. Kalo has just $1.345 million now.

While few pots are making it past even the pre-flop raise and re-raise, the advantage clearly lies with Glen Chorny. He's picking up more than his fair share of pots and has increased his stack to an astrounding $7.8 million. With the blinds going up in a few minutes to $80,000/$160,000 we can expect to see some action.

Here are the newest counts. Enjoy!

Glen Chorny	$6,260,000
Denes Kalo	$3,360,000
Maxime Villemure	$3,005,000

Maxime Villemure has doubled up. He made it $275k to open and both Glen Chorny and Denes Kalo make it a family pot by calling.

Chorny and Kalo check the 10 Q 3 flop and Villemure shoves. Chorny makes the quick call and it's Q K  for Villmeure against Q J for his Canadian counterpart. When the turn brings the 6 and the river the K it's a whole new ball game here in Monaco as Chorny drops down to $5.35 million and Villemure up to $4.035 million.

The break is through and we are back at it with the start of the 30th Level.

The level is over. The break has begun. That is all.

Glen Chorny folds his button and Denes Kalo limps from the small blind. Maxime Villemure announces raise and makes it $225,000 to go from the big blind. Kalo makes a quick call and the flop comes down 8 7 5. Both players check and the turn brings the 3.

Kalo checks again but Villemure bets out $325,000. Kalo thinks for a moment before calling and the river is the Q. This time Kalo takes the lead and bets out what looked to be $350,000, a small bet compared to the size of the pot. Villemure thinks for some time before dumping his hand and conceding the pot.
