Francisco Benitez has taken the 2022 PokerStars and Barcelona©Casino European Poker Tour by storm. The Uruguayan poker player has gone back-to-back in high roller events by winning the €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em I for €341,565 following a heads-up ICM deal.

His heads-up opponent was Argentina’s Ramiro Petrone, and the two players agreed to an ICM deal, which awarded Petrone €306,705 for his second-place finish.

Benitez just recorded a victory in the €10,200 Mystery Bounty event, which concluded on August 9, and the very next day, he entered the €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em which ran from August 10-11, and emerged as the winner to claim another spadie trophy.
