Winning a World Series of Poker bracelet is a dream for nearly every poker player, and the same was the case for Michal Schuh. Today, his dream became a reality when he took down Event #5: €550 NLHE Colossus at the World Series of Poker Europe for €171,350, besting a field of 2,799 entries. Poetically, he did so at King’s Resort in his home country of Czechia.

Schuh, a retired pro who now plays the game recreationally, overcame Dutchman Erik van Hulst in a back-and-forth heads-up battle. Van Hulst took home €117,350 of the €1,500,000 prize pool for his runner-up performance, more than 100 times his total live earnings. Meanwhile, Day 2 chip leader Georgios Tsouloftas was awarded the bronze medal and €88,350, while Paul Runcan managed to take his Day 1 chip lead to a fourth place worth €67,850.
