The final table of last season’s EPT Main Event in San Remo was one of tension, high-wire hands and unpredictable aggression. Constant Rijkenberg, a 20-year-old student from Amsterdam, beat Finland's Kalle Niemi heads-up after six hours of play to claim €1,508,000 and the EPT champion title.

Despite the massive field, Rijkenberg wasn’t short on confidence. "I expected it," he said immediately after the final hand. "I said three weeks ago that I was going to win this tournament and it was true."

The €5,300 buy-in event, which featured three world champions and scores of top professionals, was the biggest major poker tournament ever held in Europe.

A total of 1,177 players competed,creating a total prize pool of €5,713,300.

This season’s EPT San Remo will take place over seven days in a response to the event’s incredible popularity -  April 15-21, 2010.
