Mikita Badziakouski Looking for Second Million-Plus Score as €25,000 EPT High Roller Concludes
The time has arrived. It is the 11th and final day of the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour presented by Monte-Carlo Casino®️. On this day, not only will the Main Event winner be crowned, but so will the champion of the €25,000 EPT High Roller.
Out of the total 211 entries, 21 players have made it through to the third and last day. A prize pool of €5,066,110 was generated and the first-place finisher is set to walk away a millionaire, with €1,070,260 being reserved for the eventual champion. All 21 players are guaranteed to cash for €57,600, as the money bubble burst on Day 2 and a few pay jumps have already been made.

High stakes staple Mikita Badziakouski is sitting comfortably in third place on the leaderboard and will bring 1,055,000 chips into Day 3, equating to 70 big blinds. Badziakouski’s poker prominence is widely known, as the Belarusian player has been entering poker’s highest-stakes live tournaments since 2015. In the eight years since then, he has racked up almost $40 million in lifetime tournament earnings, enough to occupy 9th place on the all-time money list.
The latest addition to that was his €1,009,853 score for finishing second in the €100,000 Super High Roller during EPT Monte Carlo earlier this week. Winning the €25,000 EPT High Roller would mean Badziakouki’s second seven-figure score within a week, a feat not even he has accomplished before.
It will not be an easy fight, however, as Badziakouski has two other stacks of over a million to contend with. Sitting on top is Lithuania’s Dominykas Mikolaitis with a stack of 1,525,000, while Roman Samoylov is in second place with 1,120,000 chips.
Other notables in the top 10 include Steve O'Dwyer, who is looking to best his ninth place finish from the 2022 edition of this event, with 705,000 chips and Daniel Dvoress, who plays a 663,000 stack.
PokerStars’ very own Alejandro Lococo, meanwhile, is sitting at the bottom portion of the top 10, playing a slightly above-average stack of 575,000. Lococo had gotten very short during bubble play on Day 2, but three double-ups after the money was reached brought him back in contention.

Blinds will kick off at 10,000/15,000 with a 15,000 big blind ante. Levels are scheduled to last for 60 minutes each, but the tournament director reserves the right to shorten the clock when five players or fewer are left. If a deal is made, the clock will also be halved. Play will resume at 12:30 p.m. local time and will not stop before a champion is crowned.

Day 3 of the €25,000 High Roller Is Underway
Niveau 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
All players have taken their seats and the ''shuffle up and deal'' has sounded. The final day of the €25,000 EPT High Roller has officially begun.
Dominik Nitsche Eliminated in 21st Place (€57,600)
Niveau 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche started the day with only ten big blinds and he posted one of them as the big blind ante before putting another in as the big blind itself.
Nacho Barbero raised to 30,000 from the hijack and Nitsche defended said big blind. On the 9♦8♥4♦ flop, Nitsche check-raised a 20,000 continuation-bet from Barbero to 85,000. Barbero made the call and Nitsche had left himself only 50,000 behind for the turn.
When the J♠ fell, Nitsche used a couple of time bank extensions before finally shoving his remaining stack in the middle. Barbero snap called and Nitsche received bad news.
Dominik Nitsche: 10♥6♦
Nacho Barbero: 8♠8♦
''Just a set, huh?'' somebody commented. Indeed, Barbero had flopped a set and Nitsche needed a queen or seven to complete his straight draw. However, the set held up as the 6♥ river completed the board.
Nitsche was the first player to leave the tournament on Day 3 and takes home €57,600

Mario Navarro Eliminated In 20th Place (€66,250)
Niveau 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Mario Navarro moved all in for 170,000 from early position and Tomas Jozonis made the call with a bigger stack next to act. The rest of the table got out of the way and the cards were shown.
Mario Navarro: A♠10♥
Tomas Jozonis: Q♣Q♠
Navarro was in need of help against the queens for Jozonis, but when the board ran out J♥8♠5♣4♥5♦, it was the queens that held up to send Navarro out in 20th place.

Fireworks Between Lococo and Camosci
Niveau 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo opened to 30,000 from under the gun and it folded around to Enrico Camosci in the big blind who three-bet to 135,000. Lococo took some time, but eventually made the call.
The flop came 10♠2♣2♥ and Camosci continued for 40,000, which Lococo called. On the 4♥ turn Camosci slowed down with a check to Lococo who bet out 65,000, and Camosci came along.
The K♣ hit the river and Camosci took close to 30 seconds before checking over to Lococo who quickly checked back to a showdown.
Camosci tabled A♠K♠ for a rivered pair of kings and Lococo frustratingly tossed his cards to the dealer.

Two Double-Ups on the Same Table
Niveau 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
On table 4, the action folded around to Quan Zhou in the small blind. Zhou started today as the shortest stack with only 65,000 and jammed all those chips in. Conor Beresford was in the big blind and made the call.
Quan Zhou: 5♥5♠
Conor Beresford: K♥Q♦
Beresford whiffed the 9♦10♠10♦3♥2♦ board and Zhou captured a double-up.
A few hands later, it was Beresford himself who raised to 100,000 from the button. Milos Petakovic was in the big blind and flat-called. The flop came 4♦K♥2♣ and Petakovic led for 30,000. Beresford then went all-in for 75,000 or so and, after some deliberation, Petakovic decided he could not fold, although he was left with a very short stack.
Conor Beresford: K♠J♦
Milos Petakovic: A♦9♠
No ace came looking on the 10♣5♠ runout and Beresford raked in a double-up of his own.

Milos Petakovic Eliminated In 19th Place (€66,250)
Niveau 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
The action folded to Milos Petakovic in the cutoff who moved all in for 60,000 and was called by Quan Zhou in the big blind with a slightly bigger stack.
Milos Petakovic: 3♥3♦
Quan Zhou: 5♦4♦
Surprisingly enough with Zhou only holding five-high, it was essentially a flip situation. The board ran out K♥6♥2♦3♠5♥, and the five-four for Zhou turned a straight to send Petakovic to the rail in 19th place.
