Not long after Yann Lormel was dusted out of the tournament another big hand took place. This one was a more straightforward affair, a classic you might say.
Barnabus held Q Q versus the A K of in Michal Riczak in another all-in pre-flop situation. The K on the flop was enough to nudge Nagy out of the tournament in 4th place for €25,600 and a WSOPE Main Event Seat.
Hungarian player Barnabus Nagy is an experienced player who has graced many final tables all over Europe. He made the final table of the Eureka Poker Tour Main Event in Varna, Bulgaria in 2012, where he finished in 8th place. I was there for that event, as The Eureka Poker Tour was my creation. He went on to win an event on the Eureka Poker Tour, the big field Prague Poker Cup in 2015, where he cashed for €55,750. This score doesn’t quite match that feat, but it is the second biggest cash of his life. He’ll be back at Kings Casino later in the year to take his seat in the WSOPE Main Event.
