EPT GRAND FINAL: FINALLY! AMERICAN CHARANIA WINS FIRST MAJOR EVENT

PICTURE: POKERSTARS (Neil Stoddart)

It's been a long time coming for popular American poker pro Mohsin Charania. Known to most as @chicagocards1 on Twitter, Charania has been around the live tournament circuit for four years and although he has had good results in the past, Charania sure picked a good time to collect his first major tournament victory!

After days of gruelling action, Charania is the latest EPT Grand Final Champion, winning 1.35M EURO for his efforts, a career score for sure!

Charania defeated Frenchwoman Lucille Cailly heads up. Both players had a huge crown on the rail, one mostly American, the other mostly women hoping that Cailly could seal the deal. Still, a 1.05M EURO payday is nothing to take for granted.

The Canadian duo of Michael Dietrich and Clayton Mozdzen were unable to get things going on Monday, finishing in 6th and 7th places respectively.

Daniel Gomez, who held the chip lead late in this event, was the first player out on Monday, collecting 130K EURO for his performance.
