Martin Tsvetanov Triumphs in Eureka Main Event's History-Making Win at EPT Prague
Poker Pro Martin Tsvetanov Smashes EPT Prague Record
Europe's biggest poker tournament, the European Poker Tour's (EPT) Prague, is currently shaking things up with a jaw-dropping prize pool. The most recent edition of the €1,100 Eureka Main Event blew away expectations, drawing a mind-boggling 4,732 entries and a whopping €4,542,720 prize pool.
Bulgaria's Martin Tsvetanov emerged victorious, taking home a fabulous €449,034 after clinching a heads-up deal with Gerald Karlic of Austria, who pocketed €396,086.
At the start of the final day, Tsvetanov appeared to have a clear path to victory, but his journey was anything but easy. The turning point came when the competition shrank to three contenders. Tsvetanov's standing dropped significantly, leaving him with just a fraction of his starting stack.
Despite the setback, Tsvetanov made a stunning comeback by doubling his stack twice against Karlic, rekindling his title hopes. The decisive moment arrived when Tsvetanov's ace bested Ricardo Caridade's queens, sending the Portuguese player packing in third place and restoring Tsvetanov's lead.
