The last time Wetemans played a Main Event and didn't make the money was in EPT Snowfest. That tournament isn't on the schedule anymore for a couple of years now, unfortunately we might add.

It may have taken twice as long as it was meant to, and drew a crowd way larger than expected, but nothing would deny the Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov victory in the €2,000 Eureka High Roller.
