Fry on top...
1 year ago
This tournament is over! Will Fry has defeated Ciprian Hrisca to take the title and the cash. Read on for the gory details.
Despite being knocked back by Ciprian to a 4-1 deficit earlier, Fry has fought back to a chip lead now with some well timed heads up aggression!
Then....THIS HAND HAPPENED!
Ciprian raises to $150k from the button, Fry lays down the hammer, popping it to $650k and now Ciprian moves all-in!
Fry calls and we have a showdown for nearly all the chips in the tournament!
FRY: J

HRISCA: A

Fry with the advantage, which holds on through a Q
T

flop.
The turn is the K
, meaning only a jack or a six will stop the young English player from winning the title.
The river is....the Q
!
It's paint but no good for Ciprian meaning he is knocked out in 2nd spot, the Romanian netting himself €342,608 but...
WILLIAM FRY is the CHAMPION of the Hungarian EPT, winning €595,839. An incredible journey for the UK player from tournament unknown to EPT champion!

Tough Call Kid! (Jacobsen OUT - 3rd)
1 year ago
Ciprian Hrisca and Martin Jacobson go heads up to an unraised pot, the flop coming K
6
3
.
The two players check the flop and see the 8
come on the turn.
Ciprian now bets out $100,000 and Jacobson cuts out the chips and calls...
The river is the K
and Ciprian now moves his stack all-in. He has Jacobson easily covered and the Swede will be calling off his entire stack if he makes the call...
Jacobson tanks and looks uncomfortable but eventually...HE CALLS!
Jacobson tables T-8 for two pair, but scowls as the unpredictable Romanian Ciprian shows T
2
for the flush. The pair shake hands, and Martin Jacobson is eliminated in 3rd place, winning €197,904.
This leaves UK player William Fry heads up versus the Romanian Ciprian Hrisca.
Hrisca holds approximately a $3.5 mllion to $1.8 million chip lead as the pair face off to decide who will be the champ!
If the spirit of today's final continues, this could be fast...

Ciprian Chips Up!
1 year ago
Jacobson pops it up to $104,000 and Ciprian calls from the big blind.
The flop falls the T
9
3
Both players check.
The turn card is the 5
and the two player's reticence continues with both players checking.
The river is the 9
.
Ciprian now bets $150,000 and after a few moments contemplation, Jacobson calls, showing A-Q high.
An understandable call, given the board texture, but Ciprian had made a very tight, but good value bet with 8-5, his two pair eights and fives good for the pot and the Romanian sweeps in a pot.
