Jimmy Livramento limped on the button, and Henrique Couto checked his option.

The flop came down Club 10Diamond 3Diamond 5 and Couto check-called a 100,000 bet. The turn card was the Spade 6, and after Couto checked, Livramento bet 175,000. Couto opted to move all in for around 1m, and Livramento called.

Couto tabled Diamond 6Heart 4 for a pair of sixes and the up-and-down straight draw, but was behind and at risk of elimination as Livramento held Club QDiamond 10 for top pair.

Livramento turned his back on the table as his rail made their way to his side. And when the dealer revealed the Diamond 9 river card it was all over and the rail cheered as Livramento turned to see the good news that he was the 2018 WPTDeepStacks Portugal Main Event champion.

Couto takes away the €32,000 runners-up prize for his efforts with Livramento collecting the top €50,000 prize and a €2,500 WPTDS season-ending package.

A full recap of the final table action will be posted later on.
