The Main Event of Rozvadov's WSOP Super Circuit festival promised players a guaranteed €2 million prize pool but ultimately fell short. The tournament, with a €3,000 buy-in, recorded 505 entries, which was far below expectations, leaving the casino facing a significant overlay.
The smaller turnout also impacted the tournament schedule, prompting the final table to be played a day earlier than planned. Vito Branciforte entered the nine-player final table as the chipleader.
The Italian player was responsible for five eliminations in the finale, systematically mowing down his opponents. He went into heads-up against Polish player Stanislaw Miadzel with nearly a 6:1 chip advantage.
Miadzel couldn't withstand the pressure for long, and his journey ended when he went all-in with 6 h 4 h on a flop of 8 h T h A d. Although he completed a flush on the turn with Q h, Vito Branciforte held a higher flush with J h 7 h. The river 8 s was just a formality, sealing Branciforte's remarkable journey that began with an online qualifier.
