Eureka Poker Tour Bulgaria Title Stays On Home Soil

The PokerStars Eureka Poker Tour Bulgaria title now belongs to Petar Zografov who outlasted a field of 246 and overcame his final opponent Algirdas Saveikis despite Saveikis initially holding a 6-1 heads-up chip lead.

The Bulgarian took home €48,745 for first place from the Golden Sands Resort in Varna, which was less than what second-place finisher Saveikis got, due to a heads-up deal made when the Lithuanian was chip leader. He took home €51,645 after almost three arduous hours of intense action where the chip lead was swinging back and forth.

In the final hand, Zografov raised to 100,000 and Saveikis called to see a flop of K 6 4. Saveikis checked, Zografov bet 75,000, Saveikis popped it to 180,000, Zografov reloaded and made it 325,000 and instantly Saveikis made his all-in move for just under 1.2 million.

Zografov called and turned over K 2 for top pair, while Saveikis revealed 6 3 for a pair and a flush draw. It was game over when the turn and river brought two ladies and no spades, the Q, and the Q.

Zografov said, “To win the trophy in my home country is the perfect situation, I feel great.”

Here are the final table results and payouts:

1. Petar Zografov (Bulgaria) €48,745* (heads-up deal)
2. Algirdas Saveikis (Lithuania) €51,645*
3. Ted Stolzenbach (Netherlands) €22,050
