Brzezinski sat in the middle of the pack when cards went in the air. As the day unfolded, Norwegian pro Tom-Aksel Bedell and Belarusian grinder Aliaksei Boika were eliminated, followed by Spain\u2019s Adria Calonge in third.<\/p>\n<h2>A Five-Hour Heads-Up Battle<\/h2>\n<p>Brzezinski and Ostash entered heads-up play nearly even in chips and quickly agreed to a deal that secured each $705,578, leaving $33,385 and the trophy for the winner. What followed was an intense five-hour duel that featured multiple comebacks and dramatic all-ins. Ostash managed several double-ups to stay alive, but Brzezinski ultimately sealed the title when his ace-jack held against ace-ten, leaving his opponent with only a few chips. The final hand saw Brzezinski\u2019s ten-four prevail over Ostash\u2019s five-four to end the marathon match.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Table Results<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Tomasz Brzezinski \u2013 $738,963<\/li>\n<li>Mykhailo Ostash \u2013 $705,578<\/li>\n<li>Adria Calonge \u2013 $396,630<\/li>\n<li>Aliaksei Boika \u2013 $305,078<\/li>\n<li>Tom-Aksel Bedell \u2013 $234,644<\/li>\n<li>Toni Kaukua \u2013 $180,473<\/li>\n<li>Ben Heath \u2013 $138,821<\/li>\n<li>Juan Pardo \u2013 $106,763<\/li>\n<li>Joao Tomas \u2013 $82,193<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/poker-news\/tomasz-brzezinski-tops-898-entries-to-win-ept-malta-main-event\/\">Tomasz Brzezinski Tops 898 Entries to Win EPT Malta Main Event<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poland\u2019s Tomasz Brzezinski has captured his first European Poker Tour title in Malta, taking home $738,963 after topping a field of 898 entries.
