How would you handle seeing €100,000 slip through your fingers?
That was the reality for Krzysztof Grubka at the €700 European Deepstack Championship during the Dublin Poker Festival, where the Polish player came agonizingly close to a massive bonus that ultimately slipped away at the final hurdle.
The event drew 475 entries, comfortably beating its €200,000 guarantee to build a €285,665 prize pool, with the top 63 players finishing in the money. When play reached heads-up, Grubka still had a shot at one of the most lucrative finishes of his career thanks to a promotion from WPT Global.
