Jose ‘Nacho’ Barbero has won the EPT London High Roller event for £556,000.
77 players, including many top names, stumped up the £20,000 buy-in but couldn’t trounce Argentinean pro Barbero, who adds an EPT title to his back-to-back Latin America Poker Tour Victories earlier this year.
A tough final table, which included Vanessa Selbst and Finnish pro Jani Sointula, failed to stop the Buenes Aires native, with Sointula’s K4 crumbling to Barbero’s AJ heads-up.
The final table payouts were as follows:
1. Nacho Barbero, £556,000
2. Jani Sointula, £335,000
3. Andrew Robl, £198,000
4. Vanessa Selbst, £145,000
5. Fabian Quoss, £107,000
6. Matt Marifioti, £76,500
7. Will Molson, £61,200
8. Pierre Neuville, £45,900
