On Sunday night, the first-ever digital European Poker Tour (EPT), the 2020 EPT Online, kicked off its first three of twenty total events. With buyins ranging up all the way to $25,000, this $20M Gtd. festival will be one to watch as the action unfolds between 8 and 18 November at PokerStars.
With cards in two of the three tournaments still in the air, one winner was crowned on Sunday night in the form of David MonkeyBausss" Laka. Representing Georgia (the former Soviet country, not the US state), Laka outlasted a field of 131 hopefuls to claim the $143,567 top prize in EPT Online 03: $5,200 NLHE [8-Max, High Roller], and therefore became the first-ever EPT Champion in the tour's rich history.
