After an action-packed 11-and-a-half hours of Day 2 play here today at the 2022 Luxon Pay Mediterranean Poker Party at the incredible Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino, there could only be one winner of the $500 PokerNews Cup: Arnaud Enselme.
After a grueling 30-and-a-half levels of play, Enselme bested Dmitry Koleznev in heads-up play that saw one of the wildest ends to a tournament in recent memory. The two players, on virtually equal stacks, had stopped play for 15 minutes to agree to a deal but were forced to complete the hand that had already been dealt before going through with the agreement.
