Radoslav Průcha has been crowned the new ParadisePoker Tour Prague champion after an incredible heads-up battle saw his rival throw away a huge chip advantage.
Having defeated one monster stack in Tibor Boros earlier in the evening, Luboš Galuška must have felt his name was on the big cheque as he went heads-up with his compatriot.
Poker magazine owner Průcha had just 800,000 in chips when we went to the final two, but he made light work of what seemed an near impossible ascent, seizing on a moment of doubt in his rival to quickly turn things around.
Nicknamed 'Royal Flush,' after the Czech poker publication he owns, Radoslav struck the first big blow when he made a straight to better Galuška's two pair, doubling up and levelling the chip count with a series of smaller pots.
Luboš was clearly rattled and when he launched a huge bluff a few hands later, his fellow Czech picked it off with a cool head - and was rewarded with the €30,000 top prize.
Galuška had raised from the button with 3♥4♥ and Průcha called, before both men checked the 7♥2♠10♦ flop.
Průcha check-called on the A♦ turn and when Galuška followed his river check on the A♥ with a shove, it took a fearless call for him to show down the winning hand - 9♠10♣.
