Martynenko's EPT Barcelona Main Event Comes to an End

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Prior to the EPT Barcelona, PokerStars held a contest asking fans to put together a video offering advice to Rafa Nadal on how to best learn poker. Approximately 800 players submitted videos, but the winner ended up being Sergey Martynenko.

“[I made it] Just for fun,” Martynenko told the PokerStars Blog. “It wasn’t my profession; it’s just interesting for me. Sometimes I’ve got some ideas and I find it funny.”

Here’s a look at Martynenko’s winning video:

For his winning submission, Martynenko was awarded a package to the EPT Barcelona. "I've been playing poker for about two years on PokerStars and my limits are low," he said in an interview with the PokerStars Blog. "I'm trying to get higher but this is the biggest tournament I've ever (played). It's very difficult. The play is very aggressive. I tried to concentrate and to remember all the things I know. Sometimes it helps me."

Unfortunately for Martynenko, his run in the Main Event has come to an end here on Day 2.
