If you've been following our blog for the past couple of hours you may have seen this one coming, but Thomas Butzhammer is now officially our GSOP Live Salzburg champion.

Facing off against the second most active player at the table in Markus Jenisch, we didn't expect the heads-up encounter to be a protracted affair, but in the end it was over in just two hands.

On the second of these hands, Butzhammer opened to 90,000 and was 3-bet to 230,000 by Jenisch before making it 400,000 to go and subsequently calling when his opponent moved all-in for 1.3 million. With the cards on their backs after that breathless flurry of activity, Butzhammer was in good shape yet again.

Butzhammer:

Jenisch:

The board ran out a decisive and just like that, Butzhammer had crossed the finishing line and earned himself €62,760 plus the GSOP Live Salzburg trophy while Jenisch was forced to settle for runner-up spot and a €40,580 consolation prize.
