The largest mid-stakes tournament in EPT Prague history came to its conclusion on Wednesday, December 12 as Israel's Boris Mondrus outlasted a 2,486-entry field in the €1,100 EPT National.

Mondrus took home the €382,750 first-place prize and a coveted trophy. He was also awarded a Platinum Pass to the PokerStars Players No-Limit Hold'em Championship.

Mondrus' road to the victory led through a crafty work through the provisional standings. He started the final day in fourth place among the six remaining runners, but he needed less than two hours to establish himself at the top of the chip counts.

Mondrus never relinquished his lead and he was allowed to hoist the trophy after eliminating Czech player Ondrej Lon who pocketed €204,200 for his runner-up finish.

Ali Al Saidy finished in third place for a €138,400 payday while the start-of-day chip leader Danilo Velasevic departed in fourth, taking €106,600. Italian pro Walter Treccarichi busted in fifth for €89,000 and Ut Tam Vo picked up the €71,800 sixth-prize.

The EPT National drew the largest turnout in the tournament's history with 2,486 entries. The top 373 finishers shared the €2,411,420 prize pool. Full coverage from the event can be found on PokerNews.com.
