2024 EPT Prague €12,300 No-Limit Hold’em Cuatro Knockout Bounty

Just 11 entries were made in the €12,300 cuatro knockout no-limit hold’em bounty event. As a result, the tournament fell short of qualifying for Card Player Player of the Year points.

The $98,077 prize pool was split up amongst just two finishers, with Yauheni Tsiareshchanka coming away with the title and top payout of $63,600 in the end. This was the first live tournament title for the Belarusian, who now has over $314,000 in recorded earnings to his name.

Steve O’Dwyer finished second for $34,477. This was the 300th career cash for the American-born resident of Ireland, with more than $46.2 million in total earnings across those scores. That is good for 14th place on poker’s all-time money list.

Here is a look at the payouts:

2024 EPT Prague €20,000 No-Limit Hold’em

Thomas Santerne won his second EPT high roller title of 2024 by taking down the €20,000 buy-in event in Prague, topping a field 15 total entries to earn $185,500 and 144 POY points. The French high stakes player’s earlier victory came in the €50,000 event at EPT Paris back in February, which was good for a $960,638 payday.

Santerne now has more than $4.7 million in total cashes to his name. The largest came when he finished second in a $100,000 buy-in Triton Montenegro tournament for over $1.7 million.

The top three finishes took home a slice of the $302,000 prize pool in this event, with Nikita Kuznetsov earning $21,200 as the third-place finisher and Morten Klein $95,400 as the runner-up. Both of those players also cashed in the €10,200 mystery bounty event won by Nemeth just a couple of days earlier.
