In the 3-handed play, Koopmann faced off against Deeb and Blaz Zerjav
The final duel was resolved shortly after, in a hand that once again had fortune on Koopmann’s side.
With blinds at 30.000/60.000, the German opened with a mini-raise and called Deeb’s 3-bet to 360.000. On the flop (10 4 2), Deeb bet 200.000 and Koopmann reraised to 550.000, getting the call.
The turn (4) brought a check-call from Deeb against a bet of 850.000. Finally, on the river (K), Koopmann announced all-in. Deeb called after thinking for a few seconds with K Q A 3, but it wasn’t enough: the Teuton, with A 4 4 3, hit four of a kind again and took the title.
