Tue Feb 10 - 01:30 - Mephisto takes down IPS HR, Giamberardini runner-up
The ā¬100,000 GTD High RollerĀ came to a close almost at the same time as the Main Event, comfortably exceeding expectationsĀ and generating a prize pool of over ā¬210,000.
Out of 216 total entries, the victory went to Mephisto, a German regular at the Kingās Resort, who claimed the ā¬51,900 first prizeĀ after turning the tables in heads-up playĀ against Italyās Fabio Giamberardini, runner-up for ā¬33,800, despite starting the final duel at a 2-to-1 chip disadvantage.
The German grinderās experience proved decisive in the key moments, while Fabio GiamberardiniĀ can still be satisfied with yet another strong result achieved in recent months, even if a bit of disappointment remains for missing out on the title at the very end.
Below you can find the official payout for the top 9 finishers.
Tue Feb 10 - 00:30 - PAUL does it all! We're at the IPS Rozvadov Main final table ā Giamberardini high roller runner-up!

Tarlev: Aā ļø8ā£ļø
Board: Kā£ļø Jā¦ļø 10ā£ļø Jā ļø 4ā¦ļø. Bubble for the IPS Main final table.

Last level of play underway here at Kingās Resort RozvadovĀ in the ā¬1.5M GTD IPS Main Event Day 2, and weāve just witnessed a painful elimination involving Italian regular Wissem Ouertani.
Despite sitting well above average, Ouertani exits after a massive pot of around 6 million chips. The key hand sees him open Aā Aā£Ā from the cutoff, with the small blind defending 6ā£ 6ā¦.
The flop comes 7ā£ 5ā£ 3ā£, a monotone club board. Ouertani continuation-bets with an overpair and the nut flush draw. The small blind check-raises, Ouertani responds with a 3-bet, and the small blind then 4-bet shoves. Ouertani calls.
The 4ā¦Ā on the turn completes a straightĀ for the small blind. No club arrives on the river, and Ouertani is eliminated after a brutal setup.
Elsewhere, Claudio Di GiacomoĀ has taken a commanding lead with over 8 million chips, followed closely by another Italian, Daniele Sacchi, once again among the protagonists after recent strong performances in PokerStars-branded events. Sacchi returns from the break with 7.8 million chips.
Play has now resumed at Level 23, blinds 30,000 / 60,000 with a 60,000 ante, for an average stack of 2.2 million chips.
