Andre Grech’s Journey Ends in 6th Place for €30,000
Level 36: 200,000/400,000 (400,000)

Once again, Nikolaos Konstas opened the action, this time to 1 million from the cutoff. Malta’s own Andre Grech, sitting on the small blind and down to his last 9 big blinds, decided it was time to put it all on the line. After a swift call from Konstas, both players revealed their hands:
- Andre Grech: A♦8♣
- Nikolaos Konstas: 8♠8♥
Grech was in a tough spot, severely dominated by Konstas’s pocket eights. The flop came 4♦J♠2♠, offering no immediate help. The 2♣ turn and 6♥ river didn’t change Grech’s fate, and his impressive run came to an end.
Starting Day 3 as the chip leader, Grech battled his way to the final table, showcasing skill and resilience throughout. Though it wasn’t the ultimate prize, he walks away with a solid €30,000 for his 6th place finish, a performance that the Maltese rail cheered proudly.
