\"PiotrThe European Poker Tour (EPT) returned to Barcelona<\/a> last month and as usual drew in some of the best poker players all over Europe. <\/p>\n

EPT Barcelona was held at Casino Barcelona<\/a> and the tournament lived up to expectations this year with the \u20ac5,300 Main Event drawing a field of 1,931 competitors \u2013 a new record for the event.<\/p>\n

The last player standing was Piotr Nurzynski<\/strong> whose fianc\u00e9e cheered him on from the rail. Nurzynski and his bride-to-be took two years off so that they could see the world. He ended up qualifying for EPT Barcelona by winning a \u20ac250 PokerStars satellite event<\/strong> while he was in South America. Going into the tournament, Nurzynski had only $11,812 in total career prize money.<\/p>\n

That number increased dramatically with the addition of the \u20ac1,037,109 as he ended up winning the EPT Main Event and turned into a millionaire overnight. He also walked away with a $30,000 Platinum Pass which will get him into January\u2019s much-anticipated PSPC in the Bahamas. <\/p>\n
