The EPT National tournament had 4,348 entries and 650 players made it to the prizes. Maxim "MaxBNuts" Bura started as a chip leader but finished 142nd in the EPT National tournament.

Pavel Veksler missed winning a platinum ticket to the Players NL Hold'em Championship and finished 206th in the tournament. Vitaly Karayan and Rustam Khadzhiev continued to the third day of the EPT National tournament. Dennis Shafikov, who played in a speaking t-shirt, made it to the final day with the shortest stack and finished 9th.

The final table of the EPT National tournament included players from different countries, with no Americans present. Kristofer Soiza from Malaysia won the EPT National tournament, earning €302,500.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
