The €550 EPT Cup at the PokerStars European Poker Tour in Barcelona has come to an end with Dariusz Paszkiewicz as the winner. In the EPT Cup, the Pole made a three-way deal with Mickael Vongsonthi and [Removed:388], where he walked away with €157,550 and Vongsonthi and Benzerfa with €147,500 each.
Besides the bragging rights of winning the title, the $30,000 Platinum Pass was still up for grabs for the winner of the EPT Cup, and Paszkiewicz emerged victorious after ousting Vongsonthi heads-up. To make things even worse for Vongsonthi, he also lost the Crazy Pineapple Flipout earlier today heads-up to Rolando Camardese! Although winning €147,500 surely must have compensated for any negative feelings, losing out on the Platinum Pass heads-up both times had to be rough for Vongsonthi.
The EPT Cup is always one of the most popular tournaments at the EPT and the 2018 edition in Barcelona was no different. A grand total of 3,287 signed up and took their seats on one of the three starting flights of this two-day tournament. 485 of them would finish in the money with the mincash worth €865, but a three-way bustout between Rocco Palumbo, Felipe Bozzetti Pasqual and Osvaldo Lewis split the last-place prize money three-way.
Notables that cashed included Peter Kamaras (6th - €39,830), Remi Castaignon (12th - €12,400), Antonina Anapolska (26th - €6,240), Erwann Pecheux (46th - €3,910), Julien Sitbon (65th - €3,280), and Dominik Panka (114th - €2,475). Rolando Camardese, who won the Platinum Pass at the start of the day, finished in 116th place (€2,475).
