EPT Barcelona: High Roller Results, First Titles, and Isaac Haxton's Double
While the Main Event pushes past the €8.2M mark, high roller tournaments and side events have crowned new champions. We've rounded up the key results from the past playing days.

🟡€50K SHR Second Chance

This one-day high roller tournament drew 28 entries and a prize pool of €1,372,140. In the heads-up, Ottomar Ladva faced Swede Niklas "Lena900" Astedt. The players made an ICM deal: the Swede took more money, €522,840, but the trophy, the official title, and €437,600 went to Ladva.

For Ottomar, this was his winning heads-up only on the third try in the current series. Before that, he had twice stopped one step short of the title, taking second place in high rollers. The Estonian now has five EPT titles to his name.

🟡€25K PLO High Roller

Finn Samuli Sipilä won his first EPT title in a high roller tournament that drew 34 entries and a prize pool of €816,340.

In the heads-up he was trailing Spaniard Lautaro Guerra by a 1-to-5 chip deficit, but he turned the game around and won €309,340.

Besides Sipilä's win, two more Finnish players made the final table. Samppo Ryynänen took third place, and in fifth was the runner-up of the 2026 WSOP Main Event — Lauri Sääskilahti.

🟡€2,700 PS Open High Roller

Thomas Eichenn wins a tournament at EPT Barcelona for the second year in a row, and this is his second career title. For first place he took €589,395.
