EPT Barcelona is still underway at Casino Barcelona, where many of the poker world's biggest names have found their way. One of yesterday's tournaments was the €10,200 PLO with 106 entries and a prizepool of €1,028,200.
15 players entered the final day and the chipleader was Patrick Kennedy. Patrick eventually made it to the final heads-up where he was pitted against Hungarian player Gergo Nagy. Gergo entered the final day with the second-smallest stack, and had the smallest stack at the final table, worth just four blinds. However, even that didn't stop him from emerging as the winner. Gergo defeated Kennedy in the end to take home his first EPT trophy and €268,600 in prize money.
