EPT Grand Final: Mustapha Kanit Wins €50,000 Super High Roller (€936,500)

It only took one day of play to determine a winner of the €50,000 Super High Roller at the 2015 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo EPT Grand Final.

The tournament kicked off at 12:30 pm local time on Sunday, and the final hand was dealt just before 3:30 am on Monday morning. A total of 66 entries created a prize pool €3.2 million, of which Mustapha Kanit received €936,500!

The Italian pro defeated Mike Watson, from Canada, heads-up. Watson had a big lead but lost it already on the first hand. Kanit opened with A Diamond K Club , Watson went all in with K Heart Q Diamond , and Kanit snap called.

The board ran out 2 Spade A Heart 4 Spade J Club 8 Heart and Kanit took down the pot with a pair of aces. Besides, he now had a small chip lead over Watson.

Then it didn't take long before Kanit rivered a straight and got paid off. Watson was left short stacked, he managed to double up once but not a second time. Watson had K Diamond 5 Club vs Kanit's K Club 7 Heart , which made many believe that they would chop the pot. However, things came to an end after the board rolled out 7 Diamond 7 Club 6 Diamond 3 Heart T Club and gave Kanit the win.

The money bubble was also the final table bubble, so finalists could at least play on knowing they were in the money. Scott Seiver didn't have time to get his seat warm though as on the first deal he shoved all-in for around nine big blinds with K♦T♣. Both Martin Finger and Mustapha Kanit called with pocket queens. No king came to Seiver's rescue and he was out.

man i'm telling you that Mustapha Kanit is my hero. Mustapha Kanit is no slouch at the poker tables, when Mustapha Kanit is rasing everyone else folds, when Mustapha Kanit folds everyone plays, since they know it's the only hand they can play and win since Mustapha Kanit is not in the hand.

Well, seems like Mustapha now has a fan club in Lithuania. From now on let's call these days Mustapha Mondays.

Many congratulations to Mustapaha Kanit on winning this super high roller tournament and the nearly one million prize money. He must have played really well because there were some big names in this tourney

A great win for Mustapha Kanit,I have seen him in other tournaments do OK but I don't think he has ever won this kind of money before.Some big names in this game and I would hate to be one of those players who had paid for more than one entry to leave with nothing.

It's a high roller event. These guys probably don't have problems with re-entering moneywise. Even the ones who came here as a staked player.

I think we onto something. We just needed the 'alliteration' as a tool to be this renaming more effective. Thumbs Up

well since i'm too stupid to know what alliteration means i has to google that... and then i came to this wonderful poem:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked?

obviously peter piper can be substituted for our own peter from bulgaria?

Pickled Peppers Phursdays?

Yeah, well I obviously lost my chain of thought after the second 'pickled pecker' or whatever it was called but YES!!! We could rename every meaningful day out of the week with this logic (we already have the mondays and fridays covered) just got to give some better effort than this.
'cuz when a couple months ago we sort of tried the same in the bullsh1t topic we failed hard.
