While his fellow countryman, PCA champion Dominik Panka, was grinding his way to a second EPT Main Event final table, Dzmitry Urbanovich pulled off his own record-breaking achievement here in Malta by taking down a FOURTH SIDE event.
The indefatigable Pole was heads-up against Team PokerStars Pro Marcin Horecki in the €220 NL Crazy Pineapple event (56 entries creating a €10,864 prize pool). The man is clearly on a mission to win everything he possibly has time for because immediately after snagging that victory, he jumped in another event. It seems that where there’s a trophy, then Urbanovich will be somewhere nearby.
Urbanovich increased his EPT Malta earnings by another €3,260 but it’s not the sum that counts – it’s the fact that he is the first player ever to win four events during a single EPT festival. Without a question, the 19-year-old is the biggest highlight of this EPT stop.
His results so far:
€25.500 EPT High Roller – 1st place – 572.300€
€5.200 Turbo Rebuy – 1st place – 110.000€
€1.100 Deepstack Turbo – 1st place – 35.200€
€550 Midnight Hyperturbo – 8th place - 2.405€
€1,000 + €100 EPT Limit Stud Hi/Lo – 2nd place – €6,680
€200 Crazy Pineapple – 1st place – €3.260
The inaugural EPT 11 Malta Poker Festival, held in conjunction with Pagano Events and the Italian Poker Tour, is the largest EPT to date with a staggering 69 tournaments at Portomaso Casino from March 17-28), as well as 30+ EPT-run cash game tables running 24 hours a day.
