Boris Kolev Goes From Last to First in $2,200 EAPT Grand Final
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The $2,200 EAPT Grand Final took just under thirteen hours for a winner to emerge from 16 hopefuls who made it to the final day. Boris Kolev may have entered the final table as the shortest stack with just six big blinds, but he held all of the chips after the final hand had been dealt.
Kolev last defeated Brazilian business owner Ueberton Cristian De Aquino in heads-up play, taking home the top prize of $437,000 after a heads-up deal. This Grand Final win marked his second-largest career tournament cash after his first WSOP bracelet win in 2021, and brought the Bulgarian pro's career tournament winnings to just over $3,700,000.
