The 2012 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Barcelona Main Event concluded on early Sunday morning as Mikalai Pobal topped a field of 1,082 players to capture the €1,007,550 prize.
Prior to the win, Pobal’s only live cash was a 104th-place finish at the EPT Berlin Main Event back in April for €7,500, while his best online score on PokerStars, where he plays under the name “leanod,” was a third place finish in the Sunday Million.
Needless to say, the young Belarusian, who studied International Economic Relations at Belarus State Economic University, won life-changing money in the first EPT Main Event of Season 9.
We have to stress that the Romanian player, Sinel Anton ranked 6th at the same event, cashing a €178.400 prize.
