For Swedish poker pro Ramzi Jelassi, it's been a long time coming! On the poker circuit since 2005, Jelassi has picked up a few big poker titles in his career including a win at IPT San Remo in 2009.
But Jelassi never won something as big as this. After several cashes at EPT Main Events, Jelassi played his way to the first EPT Main Event title of his career, defeating Sotirios Koutoupas heads-up to win EPT Prague on Saturday.
Amazingly, the win nearly doubles the Swede's live tournament earnings.
David Boyaciyan was hoping to do one-better than he did here in Prague last season where he finished second at EPT Prague. Unfortunately for Boyaciyan, he had to settle for a third place finish, still, a very amazing feat by the Dutch banker.
Mark Herm, Mariusz Klosinski, Mikhail Petrov, Johnny Lodden, Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo, Sergio Aido Espina, Jeff Sarwer, Roberto Romanello, Manuel Bevand and Jonathan Driscoll all earned Top 30 finishes in Prague.
