Daniel Pidun Wins WSOPE Main Event After Heads-Up Comeback, Claims €1.1 Million

A rare WSOP participant, the 2013 EPT Berlin winner captured his first bracelet.

Overview

  • Pidun defeated Gerald Karlic heads-up, with pocket aces holding against pocket jacks on the final hand.
  • He began the duel at roughly a three-to-one chip deficit before swinging momentum with early pots, including a flush.
  • Karlic briefly regained footing but lost the lead following a costly hero call that propelled Pidun ahead.
  • Final-table dynamics shifted after chip leader Murilo Garcia jammed ace-three into Karlic’s pocket tens, and Teemu Jaatinen exited in third.
  • WSOP Europe will relocate to Prague next spring at the Hilton Prague from March 31 to April 12.
