Two EPT Madrid events wrapped up earlier this week.

The NLH 8-Max 5K Euro buy-in event brought in a hole heep of name players to the table. Pim de Goede scored his first major tournament win, defeating Juha Helppi heads up.

Helppi is on a good run lately. He scores 61 PTPR Points for his third PTPR Score of the year. Those 61 points put him past the century mark for the season, he joins WSOP Main Event Champion Jonathan Duhamel in 34th place on the 2011 PTPR Tournament Player of the Year Race.

Ninth place finisher Maxim Lykov (pictured) continues his impressive 2011 - collecting his fifth PTPR Score of the season. Lykov now sits with 121 PTPR Points, 12 shy of the PTPR Top 15 Leaderboard. The five PTPR Scores is tops in 2011. Alessio Isaia and Taylor Von Kriegenbergh (who sit 2nd and 3rd on the PTPR Leaderboard) both have four PTPR Scores this season.

Swede Nichlas Mattsson collected his third PTPR Score of year while Diego Arbuello and J.P. Kelly both scored for the second time this year.
