All currency amounts are in "€" Euro, U$ Dollar (and local currency when apply).
Bjorn-Erik Glenne, a 35-year-old Norwegian, beat some of the best poker players in the world to win €691,000 at the PokerStars.comEuropean Poker Tour Barcelona Open.
At the end of a four-day tournament, the former marketing manager triumphed heads-up against American superstar Phil Ivey to take the top prize in the €5,000 buy-in No Limit Texas Hold'em event.
The tournament was the first event of EPT Season 3 and attracted a record-breaking 480 players. The field was 155 more than previus year, making it the largest attendance for an EPT event and creating a prize pool of €2,304,000[5]
"I am so happy and proud to win this tournament in the Victoria casino.The whole EPT is an amazing thing - it's a fantasy to win any EPT event - but to win in London at the Vic is beyond my wildest dreams." Vicky Coren
Thang Duc Nguyen, a 42 -year-old chef from Hamburg, Germany, won €487,397 at the PokerStars.comEuropean Poker Tour in Baden, Austria.
At the end of the four-day tournament, Nguyen triumphed heads-up against New Yorker Ben Johnson to take the top prize in the €5,000 buy-in No Limit Texas Hold'em event. Chess player Johnson, 29, from Brooklyn won €251,560 for second place. The tournament attracted 331 players to the famous Austrian spa resort, nearly double 2005 field, creating a prize pool of €1,572,250.
Nguyen - originally from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam - has had some impressive wins in recent months, including two final tables in September's PokerStars.com World Championship of Online Poker picking up a total of €35,000. Prior to this win, Nguyen said he wasn't ready to give up his day job as a chef, but admitted he is now considering "taking a nice family holiday".
The fearless Italian Dario Minieri, 22, who is set to become a huge name on the European poker circuit, finished third with €125,780. Belgian PokerStars qualifier Daniel Dodet finished 4th for €110,000.[13]
Londoner Roland de Wolfe, 27, cemented an awesome 15 months of poker success since October 29, 2006 by taking the €554,300 top prize at the PokerStars.comEuropean Poker Tour event in Dublin.
De Wolfe, 27, a former poker writer, beat a tough field of 389 players in the four-day No Limit Texas Hold'em event, which generated a total prize pool of €1,847,750. De Wolfe, who won the World Poker Tour (WPT) event in Paris in 2005, becomes the first player to win both EPT and WPT titles.
PokerStars qualifier David Tavernier, 50, - a Parisian anaesthetist who plays poker as a hobby - came second for €314,120, with 23-year-old Swedish pro William Thorson taking third place for €184,780.[17]
De Wolfe said:
"This week I didn't have the luck of the Irish, I had the luck of the whole of Europe. It's an honour to be the first person to win an EPT title and a WPT title when there are so many good players out there. I'm thrilled." Roland de Wolfe
Swede Magnus Petersson has won the EPT Copenhagen, beating Team PokerStars' ElkY heads up to win €550,000. "This is a very good feeling," he said. "I played tight early on and then changed gears when it mattered."
ElkY had a commanding lead when they sat down together, but two hands turned the tables. First Petersson rivered a full house to beat ElkY's trips. He pushed all in with the nuts, and ElkY had to call.[20]
Petersson said:
"I have no real plans for tonight - maybe a drink. My girlfriend lives a couple of hours from Stockholm and bought a car today, a BMW. This money will pay for it. I am a financial advisor, so I will now advise myself to invest in some stocks and bonds." Magnus Petersson
A record-breaking EPT field of 493, one of the biggest prize pools in Europe, one of the nicest guys to take a title. Andreas Hoivold has lifted the EPT German Open trophy here in Dortmund, Germany, collecting a massive €672,000 - but, boy, did he have to work for it.
The Norwegian, 35, clawed his way through a gruelling seven-hour final table using his undoubted talent and cheeky sense of humour to win many new friends, as well as the cash. The victory is his second big result in recent months, after his third-place finish in the Poker Million in London in December, where he secured $250,000. His decision to turn pro just seven months ago now looks inspired. This victory makes him the second Norwegian to lift an EPT title this season, after Erik-Bjorn Glenne's stunning success in Barcelona.[25]
Peter Jepsen is our winner in EPT Warsaw. The former soldier took up poker when he was seriously injured in Iraq, and became a different kind of hero today when he took the Polish Open title. This Danish player always stacked his chips with military precision, and had a cool methodical style of play, this made his assault on this EPT title look almost effortless.[25]
Peter had this to say about his win:
"The money is great but I really, really wanted to win this EPT tournament. I won $165,000 at a tournament in St Kitts last year, but it's important to me to have a proper title to my name." Peter Jepsen
EPT Monte Carlo: Gavin Griffin wins EPT Grand Final
American Gavin Griffin arrived in Europe for the first time to join 705 other poker hopefuls at the EPT Grand Final - the richest poker tournament ever held outside the US. He returned home to Orange County, California, more than $2.4 million (€1.8 million) richer after beating off competition from some of the best players in the world and winning the six-day No Limit Texas Hold'em event (March 28-April 2, 2007).
The gently-spoken 25-year-old, originally from Chicago, won his seat for the Grnad Final in a $240 Double Shoot-Out qualifier on PokerStars. He showed remarkable poker skills during the €10,000 buy-in event and became a tournament favourite after it was revealed that his pink-dyed hair was to mark his involvement in the Avon Walk for Breast cancer charity. Gavin and his girlfriend Kristen, 21, set off on their 39-mile, two-day Los Angeles marathon in September.[32] PokerStars helped Gavin raise even more money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. In addition to an immediate donation of $15,000, they also set up a special account to raise further funds. For every donation made during the final table on April 2, PokerStars matched it dollar for dollar: the total raised was over $10,000. To donate from now on, go to Gavin's page on the Avon site.[32][33] Gavin Griffin had this to say about his win:
"This tournament's structure was awesome, just incredible. It was my first visit to Europe, and you can be assured I will be coming back. I have been supporting the breast cancer charity here because when my girlfiend was 21, she suffered from it. In September we will be doing a 39-mile charity walk over two days as we thought it was important to try and give something back, and hopefully help women in the future." Gavin Griffin
