Greek and Hungarian players made their presence felt at the final table, while Austria pinned its hopes on Johannes Tringl—who ultimately finished 9th for 10.000€—and Rudolf Kosa, who put in a stellar run to finish 5th for 27.000€. Hungary’s players proved relentless, with all three making it to the last four, which set the stage for deal discussions as play reached a stalemate.

Deal Struck, Tense Heads-up Showdown

Once Rudolf Kosa hit the rail in 5th, the pace slowed dramatically and nobody wanted to make a costly mistake. After a tense negotiation, the final four players agreed to a deal, setting aside 10.000€ and a 1.000€ WPT Package for the eventual winner. The runner-up was set to claim a bonus 5.000€ and a WPT Prime Ticket.
