Tournament Report

Glen Chorny is New European Poker Tour Grand Final Champion

In what has been described as the longest, biggest, and some of the best poker the European Poker Tour (EPT) has seen, 22 year-old Ontario Canada native Glen Chorny bested a field of 842 players to become the new PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Grand Final champion, winning a record first-place prize of 2,020,000 Euros (roughly USD $3.2 million, or GBP 1,613.6 million), the largest prize ever handed out at a European poker tournament.

When the day began, no one was sure how it would turn out, as so many strong players were present. Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano, at his third EPT final table, was looking for his record ninth EPT cash. Antonio Esfandairi was looking for an EPT title to accompany his WPT and WSOP wins to make an astounding Triple Crown.
And many bets were on tournament favorite Isaac Baron to capture the title as well.
