Saturday��s 14-hour marathon fell short of deciding a winner in the second �25,000 NL Hold��em event of the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris, so the final three players knew that some additional hours would be required. The decision to come back and resume after playing another eight levels of Sunday��s �50,000 EPT Super High Roller meant that all of them would have to dig deep.
After bagging for the night in today��s scheduled event, Daniel Dvoress found himself switching gears within minutes to become the short-handed short stack against Tamas Adamszki and Niklas Astedt at Le Palais des Congr��s.
All three players were undoubted physically and mentally fatigued, having been up past 4 a.m. the previous night before enduring another nine hours on the felt to begin their Sunday. But a first-place prize of �444,840 was on the line, so a five-minute break was all that separated bagging one stack and sitting down to another.
Dvoress began the added day with just 13 big blinds, but found himself holding the PokerStars Spade before calling it a night. The Canadian told PokerNews that it was hard to switch gears from one tournament to the other, but found the cards at the right time �C including a two-outer turn card that saved his tournament life and propelled him to victory.
The win marked his second straight cash in Paris, after securing a min-cash of �63,000 in the opening �25,000 NL Hold��em event of the series just two days ago.

Day 2 Action
Originally scheduled to finish in a single day, the event attracted a total of 62 entries to create a prize pool of �1,458,240. Each of the final three had locked up �211,400 before sitting down for today��s Super High Roller. Moments after bagging at roughly 9:45 p.m., it was time to decide a champion.
There were only 62 big blinds in play as cards hit the felt, with Dvoress needing to mount a comeback in order to avoid a third-place finish. Adamszki held the chip lead with 28 big blinds, followed by Astedt closely behind.
The night began with Astedt momentarily taking the chip lead before Adamszki took it back, and moved all in on the button with his big stack. Dvoress put himself at risk with pocket kings, only to see Adamszki spiked a set on the flop. Down to just two outs with two cards to come, Dvoress found a king on the turn to double and take control of the three-handed battle.
From there, Dvoress completed the job against Adamszki by scoring the knockout, creating a commanding heads-up lead in the process.
Heads-Up Play
After confirming the chip counts, Dvoress entered heads-up play with a nearly 3-to-1 advantage and a total of just 51 big blinds on the table. The clock was also a consideration for Astedt, with just over 10 minutes left until a new level was set to begin.
With Astedt down to less than 15 big blinds, Dvoress applied the pressure before finishing off his comeback with an overbet that Astedt could not get away from. The result was a triumph for Dvoress, finally putting an extremely long �C but profitable �C trio of days to an end.
That concludes PokerNews live coverage of the second �25,000 NL Hold��em event of the week, but action resumes Monday in the �50,000 EPT Super High Roller followed by more high buy-in events to come here at EPT Paris.
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Daniel Dvoress on the button and Niklas Astedt in the big blind saw a flop of 3?8?Q? before the action picked on the J? turn.
Astedt checked to Dvoress, who fired 240,000. Astedt called to the 5? river, where another check followed. Dvoress did not take long to move all in, putting his opponent to the test.
Astedt grabbed his time bank cards, using two of them before moving a single chip forward to call for his tournament life.
Dvoress said "two pair" as he showed Q?8?, while Astedt said "good game" as he could only show 10?3? for bottom pair.
Astedt was eliminated in second place, as Dvoress completed the comeback to take down the win.
