It was a big day for the European Poker Tour (EPT) on Saturday. As the Main Event was playing down to a winner, so was the record-setting EPT Vienna €10,000 High Roller, which emerged as the largest high roller of Season 10.
Day 1 of the event originally attracted 136 players that accounted for 35 reentries. On Day 2, ten players took advantage of late registration, which brought the total field up to 181 entries and moved it ahead of the EPT10 Barcelona High Roller by a single entry. The massive turnout generated a prize pool of €1,773,800.
The final nine players of a 181-entry field returned to action, and after six levels of play it was France’s Fabrice Soulier who emerged victorious to capture the €392,900 first-place prize.
Action resumed in Level 21 (10,000/20,000/3,000) and in the first hand of the day chip leader Dmitry Yurasov opened for 40,000. It folded to Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel in the small blind and he raised to 105,000. The big blind folded and it was back on Yurasov, who pushed out two stacks of blue T5,000 chips for a further raise to 195,000. Duhamel instantly moved all in and Yurasov called.
Duhamel: 
Yurasov: 
The board ran out 
and Duhamel fell in ninth place for €39,800, which brought about the final table of eight.
Not long after, action folded to a short-stacked Fady Kamar in the hijack and he moved all in for roughly 170,000. Yurasov, who was next to act in the cutoff, put in a call, and then Vitaly Lunkin moved all in over the top for right around 820,000 from the button. The blinds both folded and Yurasov made the call.
Yurasov: 
Lunkin: 
Famar: 
The 
flop delivered Yurasov a king, and he was on the verge of eliminating two opponents and becoming a massive chip leader. The turn gave both Famar and Lunkin straight draws, but as it was they held some of the other's outs. As such, both were on their feet preparing to make their exit when the 
slammed down on the river.
"Straight," an elated Lunkin said. Indeed, the jack on the river gave him a winning hand. Yurasov seemed shell shocked, while Kamar took his leave from the tournament in eighth place for €48,050.
It took awhile for the next elimination to occur, but eventually EPT8 London champ Benny Spindler, who began the day second in chips, fell in seventh place for €66,350. Spindler was never able to gain any traction at the final table and fell when he ran ace-queen into the ace-king of Lunkin. A few hands later, the short-stacked Rasmus Agerskov followed him out the door in sixth place.
Yurasov suffered a similar fate as Spindler. He began the day as chip leader, but ended up losing a big pot to Soulier. Shortly thereafter, he lost a race to bust to Anatoly Filatov to bust in fifth. Likewise, after Lunkin assumed the chip lead, he had a fall from grace and promptly busted in fourth place for €148,800.
After Ukraine’s Oleh Okhotskyi fell in third place, Filatov and Soulier began heads-up play with the latter holding a 2-1 chip lead. Filatov managed to fight his way into the lead, but the Frenchman pushed back and slowly whittled away at his Russian opponent. Eventually Soulier was able to seal the deal, earning him the EPT10 Vienna High Roller title.

Level 26
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
"I'd better put my sunglasses on," Anatoly Filatov joked before his final hand.
Once he donned his red shades, he raised the button to 125,000. Fabrice Soulier, who had pulled out to a commanding lead, announced that he was all in, which prompted Filatov to call off.
Filatov:
Soulier:
Filatov was behind and in need of some help, and while the 
flop didn't hit him directly, it did give him a gutshot straight draw to a jack. The turn changed nothing, and it was down to the river for the Russian. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
.
Filatov missed and will have to settle for runner-up and a €265,200 consolation prize.
