Mustapha Kanit Wins EPT Barcelona High Roller (€738,759)

Tags: EPT Barcelona High Roller, Mustapha Kanit.
Posted on 31 August 2015 by "T".

Many records have been set during this year's poker festival in Barcelona, Spain. First, Martio Lopez won the largest ever Estrellas Main Event, then Sylvain Loosli won the record-breaking €50,000 Super High Roller, and another two record events ended yesterday: the EPT Main Event and the EPT High Roller. The latter attracted a field of 506 players despite the expensive buy-in of €10,300!

Thanks to a three-way deal in the High Roller, Italy's Mustapha Kanit received €738,759 for his first-place finish (Petrangelo received €592,840 for his third-place finish and Sidhu got €640,000 for second). This was Kanit's second EPT High Roller EPT victory of this year (you can read about the first one here). His most recent High Roller victory brought his total live tournament earnings to $4.6 million, good for the number one spot on Italy's all-time money list!

Well done to Mustapha Kanit for another very good win and another EPT high roller to his name,good to a UK player get 2nd.I did think Petrangelo would win this a few days ago but I suppose over half a million dollars is not bad.

gosh this is amaaaazing! our local brm hero Mustapha (known for undeniably spectacular Mustapha Mondays) has put his imprint at the poker tables and who knows maybe even under the tables. well done Mustapha dude- you hero status is assured at brm, sure it can be spoiled with 1st post being a "can is send my 2 dollaors plyz".

funny thing
high roller tournaments suppose to be for the professional poker players unlike the main event
but i recognize more names in the main event finale table than this final table of EPT Barcelona High Roller
really surprised not to see one Spanish in the top 8
anyway congrats to Mustapha Kanit from Italy

The funny thing would be if a high roller tournament would mean if all the participants smoked a massive amount of weed before the first hand. There is no better way to roll that high.
