 The Canadian Glen Chorny was the great champion of the PokerStars.com EPT Grand Final 2008. After 11h of final table action, Chorny took home the biggest first-prize ever handed in Europe: €2.020.000. 6 days of event, 842 players, €8,263,800 prize-pool. What an event, Europe!
The final hand of the tournament went this way:
Denes raises, Glen is all-in, Denes calls right away.   for Glen and   for Denes. The board shows      . Glen Chorny wins the hand and the Championship.
The online guys, Maxime Villemure, aka Beepbeepimajeep on Full Tilt, Isac "WestmenloAA" Baron, considered one of the best tournament players, and Michael Martin, who finished 2nd in Master Classics of Poker in 2007, did very well. They finished 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively for a monster cash each!
