EPT Prague 2025 Kurtulus Leads Main Event Finale, Camosci Chases Third Title

Bora Kurtulus in the Performance of a Lifetime Leads the Main Event
 

The EPT Prague 2025 Main Event with a buy-in of €5,300 is nearing its conclusion. After Day 5, only seven players remain from a total field of 1,224 entries. The finalists are already guaranteed a minimum payout of €159,150, but the ultimate goal is the winner's prize of €1,019,300.

Day 5 was dominated by Turkey. Bora Kurtulus started the day with the second-largest stack and improved it to a massive 12,325,000. Kurtulus now holds more than a third of all the chips in play, with a significant lead over the field. He's already experiencing a career-best result that could become even more impressive.

Close behind Kurtulus is Matan Krakow from Israel, who will enter the finale with 9,700,000 chips. Krakow was on the brink of elimination during Day 4, ready to write a comeback story.

Among the remaining finalists is local player Vítězslav Čech. However, he'll be entering the final day as one of the three short stacks. Noteworthy is the performance of India's Paawan Bansal, who turned a two big blinds situation into a 30 BB stack within half an hour.

The seven players will return to the table today at 12:30 local time. You can watch the final table live via the official YouTube stream, which starts with a 30-minute delay.

Camosci Aims for Third Title at EPT Prague 2025
 

The €10,300 EPT High Roller features a high buy-in and an elite field. Entering the final day, 15 players remain from the original 233 entries. Leading the standings is Enrico Camosci, making an impressive bid for his third title at this festival.

The Italian pro holds the top spot after Day 2 with a stack of 2,175,000. Following him are seasoned contenders Ole Schemion (1,615,000) and Simon Brandstrom (1,225,000). Other recognized names like Juha Helppi and Marius Gierse are also in the mix. The stack differences are not substantial, keeping everyone in contention for the title.

Following his wins in the €20K and €25K NLH events, Camosci is poised for another deep run, this time in even stiffer competition. A victory here would secure him a significant place in the EPT Prague history books.

Tobias Leknes Secures Two Titles in Multi-Game Events
 

One of the standout figures of the EPT Prague 2025 concluding days has been Tobias Leknes, who claimed two prestigious titles in just three days. The Norwegian all-rounder has confirmed his status as one of the festival's most versatile players, extending his winning streak at EPT Prague. Leknes boasts a total of eight EPT titles, with five claimed in Prague, where he's secured a trophy annually since 2022.

His first victory came in the €5,200 8-Game Mix (Event #50), which attracted a smaller field of mixed-discipline specialists. The tournament recorded 20 entries, with a total prize pool of €97,000. Leknes himself made four entries, a risk that paid off as he conquered the field, taking home €48,500, one of the largest earnings of his career.

His second title was added in Event #55: €2,200 EPT 10-Game Mix, which attracted 63 entries. Again, it was a highly technical tournament involving nearly all major poker disciplines. Leknes overcame a challenging final table to claim €36,280 as the victor.
