After winning his first-ever WSOP gold bracelet and finishing 10th in an EPT high roller event earlier this month, German poker player Dietrich Fast topped the field of another prestigious event. Last night, he emerged victorious in the EPT Season 12/IPT Season 7 Malta €1,100 No-Limit Hold’em event to collect the amount of €48,000 and the tournament trophy.
The two-day, single re-entry € 1,100 No-Limit Hold’em attracted a field of 234 entries who created a prize pool €226,980. The top 31 finishers received a portion of the prize pool, with the lowest payouts totaling €2,000.
And here are the final table results:
