Frederik Thiemer with around 40,000, Denis Grimm with around 60,000, and Vitalii Shcherba with a covering stack all got their chips into the middle preflop.
Frederik Thiemer: Q♠Q♥
Denis Grimm: A♠K♠
Vitalii Shcherba: A♥A♣
Shcherba was in an excellent spot to send his stack soaring towards the summit and Grimm was already standing up in preparation for departure. However, the 7♠4♠10♠ flop made Grimm quickly sit back down as he flopped the nut flush to all but lock up the pot. A 4♦ on the turn did give both Thiemer and Shcherba some outs, but the 7♦ river was a brick, which meant Thiemer busted, and Grimm almost tripled up.

"I knew it was coming," he said. Zabrodostkyi laughed and eventually folded.
"Show the bluff," someone said at the table, with Mallu flinging A♦A♠ open on the table.

Ilari Sahamies opened to 5,000 from middle position and Dan Wagner called in the cutoff before Masahiro Yamada three-bet from the button to 20,000. Sahamies did what he does best and four-bet to 45,000, which got Wagner out of the way. Yamada responded with a five-bet shove of 110,000, and Sahamies released his hand.
Sahamies has spent considerable time playing poker in Tallinn in recent years. His last cash in an EPT event dates back to 2019, right here in Prague, where he made a final table appearance in a PLO event. For those unfamiliar with the Finnish poker legend, his online moniker, "Ziigmund," struck fear into the hearts of many players during the golden era of online poker. Known for his fearless and aggressive style, Sahamies was a regular fixture at the highest-stakes cash games on the virtual felt.
