Next stop Warsaw, where EPT4 saw some of poker’s biggest names take to the felt, including Team PokerStars Pros Greg Raymer, Dario Minieri and Katja Thater. More than 100 PokerStars qualifiers joined a field of 359 players, chasing a record Polish prize pool of €2 million in cash.

German stock trader Michael Shulze started the day as chip leader and never looked like losing his composure on the way to the title and €610,000. Portuguese pro Ricardo Sousa fought him all the way, even pulling ahead during a tense heads-up battle, but the skilled amateur played a patient game to proudly lift the EPT trophy.

It was another great week for PokerStars qualifiers, with four of the 103 that entered going all the way to the final table. Sat alongside them was Norwegian prodigy Trond Eidsvig, making an incredible third final table appearance of the season.
