Shortstack de la finale, Aliaksei Boika a retourné la situation pour remporter le dernier EPT Malta de l'histoire de l'European Poker Tour. Le joueur du Belarus a battu le Suédois Mats Karlsson en heads-up, en réalisant notamment un superbe hero-call.
Sur un flop
, Boika a mis 5 minutes à payer avec 
pour remporter le tournoi, Karlsson ne pouvant retourner mieux que 
. Le joueur de 28ans encaisse le chèque de 355,700€ promis au vainqueur et prend donc la plus large part du prizepool de 2,2 millions généré par les 468 participants du Main Event.
Boika a commencé la journée avec 19 blindes mais il s'est vite relancé en passant un flip contre Tomas Macnamara. Cela lui a permis de grinder tranquillement jusqu'au duel contre Karlsson.
Un head's up qui a commencé avec beaucoup de profondeur et avec un net désavantage en jetons pour le futur vainqueur. Face à l'amateur venu du froid, le professionnel Boika a passé la seconde pour remporter la majorité des coups. En un niveau de 90 minutes, Boika a fait tomber Karlsson de 100 blindes à zéro. Son dernier call terminant une démonstration.
Mats Karlsson, 59 ans, remporte 261 730€ pour son superbe parcours. Le retraité qui réside à Malta a dominé le tournoi durant deux jours tout en faisant beaucoup de mal à Ole Schemion. Régulier des tournois à 100€ de l'?le méditerranéenne, Karlsson a été parfait jusqu'à l'ultime marche.
Le Russe Dmitry Yurasov complète le podium après un tournoi où il a toujours été dans le Top 10. Deuxième au chipcount en début de finale, Yurasov n'a pas eu la réussite mais a tout de même contr?lé pour finir 3e et empocher 192 650€, le troisième score à 6 chiffres de sa carrière.
Le joueur d'origine libanaise Elie Saad empoche 141,780€, pas mal pour un businessman de 41 ans qui s'est incliné sur un flip contre le futur vainqueur.
Le Britannique de 46 ans Peter Ockenden s'incline sur un 60-40 perdu face à Karlsson en 5e position. Il réalise le meilleur score de sa carrière en repartant avec une somme à 6 chiffres aussi, 104 340€. Pas mal après s'être qualifié sur PokerStars pour 27€.
Mis à mal par ce flip perdu contre Boika, le Britannique Tomas Macnamara a fait trois tapis de suite avant de se faire payer par Ockenden. Macnamara a reperdu un flip qui l'a vu quitter la finale prématurément.
L'ultime Main Event de l'European Poker Tour aura lieu en décembre à Prague. PokerNews en sera pour vous donner des nouvelles fra?ches avant le passage aux PokerStars Championships et PokerStars Festivals.

Hand #92: Mats Karlsson picked up 
and raised to 200,000. Aliaksei Boika had him dominated with 
and threw in a big three-bet to 625,000. Karlsson wasn't planning on going anywhere and made the call.
Nobody got a piece of the 
flop. Boika slowed down and checked to Karlsson. The Swede picked up a stack of green 25,000-chips and moved it over the line for a bet of 550,000. Boika didn't gave up so easily and made the call.
He checked again on the 
turn and Karlsson checked as well. The river was the 
and Boika checked for the third time.
Karlsson made a huge bluff by moving all in for 2,555,000 in total. Boika, with nothing more than ace-jack-high, went in the tank for minutes and minutes. After five minutes he made a very brave call and Karlsson immediately waved the white flag.
"Nice call, you win", Karlsson said. "Wow, nice call", he continued.
Although Karlsson got hero called in the end, he wasn't sad about his second place finish. "That was a good call, I have to say. Well I'm happy anyway."
"I may have played bad heads up, but I'm happy. The heads up I played very bad but I'm not used to it. Up until the heads up I'm very pleased."
The Swedish amateur was the start-of-the-day chipleader and was in command during most of the final day. He had a huge lead when play got three handed but then got more and more resistance from Boika.
By eliminating Dmitry Yurasov, Karlsson gained himself a nice chip advantage moving into the heads-up battle but from there on it went downwards. Boika crushed him in the one-on-one fight and eventually Karlsson found himself in second place in the final ranking.
He still scores the biggest payday in his poker career. He heads home with €261,730 in his pocket.
