The European Poker Tour Barcelona festival is well underway to kick off the EPT's 13th season, and the first of several marquee events is in the books with Nick Petrangelo topping a tough 240-entry field to win the €10,300 Single Reentry event and a €413,000 first prize.
Petrangelo outlasted a talented final table and a lengthy three-way contest with eventual runner-up finisher Marcin Chmielewski and Markku Koplimaa who took third. The trio battled for four hours, then came another half-hour of heads-up before Petrangelo finally prevailed.
With 195 uniques and 45 reentries, the total prize pool added up to €2,328,000.
