Just a few weeks ago, Razvan Belea reigned supreme in the 2023 EPT €5,300 Paris Main Event for a huge €1,170,000. And what makes the story even greater is that Belea booked his seat at the table for a tenth of the buy-in after winning a ticket from $530 online satellite on PokerStars.
Belea's accomplishment is also less than a year removed from when Grzegorz Glowny, another online qualifier, took down the rescheduled 2021 EPT €5,300 Prague Main Event.
