The 2023 EPT Prague has stiff competition with two other major events going down across the globe including the inaugural WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas and an epic WPT Championship at the Wynn Casino Las Vegas. The EPT has been winding down the end of their calendar year with annual sojourn to the Czech Republic for a fun and festive end of the year celebration of poker in one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe.
The annual holiday festival of poker in Prague continued this year. In this instance, Norway's Jon Kyte was on the losing end of this Christmas miracle in Prague. With every great comeback, there's a devastating defeat on the other side. It wasn't quite a chip and a chair situation, but who cares about minor details like then when a short- stacked player rallied back from a massive deficit to step into the winner's circle. The folks at the final stop on the 2023 European Poker Tour were treated to a future legendary tale where a beloved Irishman named Padraig 'Smidge' O'Neill overcome major obstacles to become the newest EPT champion. You've probably hear a chip and a chairstory many times in the past when a player down to their last chip miraculously avoids annihilation and overcomes insurmountable odds to win a tournament.
