The European Poker Tour made a big splash with its debut visit to Berlin in Season 6. A total of 945 players from 48 countries entered the €5,300 Main Event making it Germany’s biggest ever poker tournament and creating a total prize pool of €3,686,400.

The event was won by serial PokerStars qualifier Kevin “ImaLuckSac” MacPhee who snagged the record €1 million first prize after beating Finnish player Ilari Tahkokallio. As well as a long-awaited EPT champion’s title, MacPhee’s achievement also won him the Players’ Choice Award at the EPT Awards held at the Season 6 Grand Final in May.
