The €1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament attracted a total of 286 entries. With the entries falling short of the guaranteed €500,000, the casino had to cover a substantial overlay to the prizepool.
Forty-four players advanced to the final day, with all guaranteed a minimum payout of €3,525. Marek Uharček entered as the chipleader, a position he seized during Day 1B.
The Slovak player, primarily a cash game specialist who enters only about ten tournaments annually, delivered a calm and consistent performance throughout the day.
At the final table, Uharček faced stiff competition, including Germany's Jan-Peter Jachtmann, a PLO WSOP bracelet winner from 2012. Uharček maintained control, eliminating Jachtmann in 4th place and advancing to the decisive heads-up.
In a gripping match against Lucas Giebing, Uharček temporarily trailed at a nearly 1:2 chip disadvantage but quickly recovered. He secured his tournament title with a winning hand of A d Q d J c 7 d against 9 h 8 c 7 h 4 d on a board of A h 6 h 4 s 7 s K s. His €95,000 reward marks a new career-high from live tournaments.
