The road to PokerStars European Poker Tour glory always has plenty of twists and turns, and the record-breaking 2023 EPT €5,300 Prague Main Event was no exception.
Jon Kyte, who had led the tournament from Day 3, entered the finale with 229 big blinds and a historic chip lead, one that was assumed to be unassailable. Padraig O'Neill had other ideas and was unexpectedly awarded the final EPT Trophy of the 2023 season after overcoming the Norwegian in heads-up play.
Known affectionately as "Smidge" in the Irish poker community, O'Neill came into the day as the shortest stack and turned his 12 big blinds into a €1,030,000 payout. With the victory, he became Ireland's second-ever EPT Main Event champion, 11 years after Steve O'Dwyer reigned supreme in Monte Carlo.

Action was on the flop on a board of K♦J♥8♥ and Yakov Bar El checked. Vladas Tamasauskas fired out a bet, Lukas Bojovic called, then Yakov Bar El check-raised. That prompted Tamasauskas to reraise and then Luka Bojovic back-raised all in. Bar El folded and Tamasauskas called.
Vladas Tamasauskas: A♥K♥
Luka Bojovic: K♠8♠
Tamasauskas had top pair along with a flush draw. Bojovic was ahead with two pair, kings and eights. The turn was the K♣ to further improve Bojovic's hand to a full house and remove Tamasauskas' outs for the flush.
The river came the 6♠ and Bojovic held to win the pot, near-doubling his stack and sending Tamasauskas to the rail.
