It was a very short and incredibly intense heads-up match.
Jean-Noel Thorel had just doubled up and Josip Simunic limped from the small blind. Thorel raised to 300,000 out of the big blind and was called. After a flop of 
, Thorel fired 300,000 and was called by the Austrian before the 
fell on the turn.
Thorel bet 450,000 and Simunic moved all in with the superior stack. The call of the Frenchman wouldn't take long and they tabled their cards.

Thorel: 
"Come on, face card one time please," Simunic begged towards the dealer. It was not exactly what he wanted, but the 
river was what he needed to let all the emotions flow. Thorel is eliminated in second place and receives €208,900 whereas Simunic even had tears in his eyes shortly after the victory.
Now, we should also stress out that Simunic had started the day with less than four big blinds!!!
