The European Poker Tour (EPT) made its way to Casino Barcelona where SnapShove Founder Max Silver would win Event #27: €10k No-Limit Hold’em High Roller for €600,924 (~$702,005) in prize money for his largest career score.

Silver topped the 439-entrant field to capture the $702,005 first-place prize and EPT trophy. Silver’s greatest career accomplishment prior to this was his 2017 WSOP bracelet win, but this will rival that as it also signifies both Silver’s largest career score, and him surpassing $4,000,000 in live career tournament earnings.

The final day of the event began with 18 players, and once the final table was set, the chip lead belonged to Joris Ruijs. Chips bounced around at the final table as players trickled to the rail before Norbert Szecsi went on a pre-dinner heater to eliminate Orpen Kisacikoglu and Richard Kirsch in fifth and fourth place, respectively. Following the dinner break, the final three players agreed on a deal that set aside €50,000 and the trophy for the winner.

Ruijs was eliminated in third place when his two pair was no match for Silver’s straight. Now holding the chip lead, Silver pressed on before the final hand was dealt when Szecsi’s four-bet shove with pocket threes, and Silver called with pocket tens. Silver’s superior pair held on, and with Szecsi eliminated in second place, Silver collected €600,924 in prize money for his victory.

According to an interview with PokerNews, Silver said, “I haven’t played much recently, so this is kind of a surprise. That being said, I felt comfortable in this event. Any event you win, you end up feeling pretty comfortable!”

With this victory, Silver surpasses the $4,000,000 mark in career live tournament earnings and trails only Andy Black atop Ireland’s All-Time Money List, where Black leads by nearly $240,000 with more than $4,486,000 in live career tournament earnings.
