The second biggest name Lachezar Plamenov Petkov followed him to the rails directly after and so it was already certain that we would get a surprise winner.

After Brazilian Tauan Naves busted in 3rd place, the heads-up duel between Austrian Lukas Hafner and Eduardo Pires was set up and it started with almost even stacks.
