Looking back at this summer's 2022 PokerStars EPT Barcelona, most will remember Giuliano Bendinelli as the big winner for taking down the €5,300 buy-in Main Event for €1.5 million. But there was no one more dominant during the European Poker Tour festival in Spain than Uruguay's Francisco Benitez.
Benitez, a 16-year poker veteran who primarily plays online, started off the series on the Spanish coast by taking down two high-roller events, an already impressive feat (he was the only player to win multiple events at the festival) that he followed up by making two additional high-roller final tables.
