In one of the most memorable conclusions ever to an EPT Main Event, Malec, who qualified for the event for €27 on PokerStars, beat Uri Reichenstein heads-up to win the EPT Barcelona Main Event and €1,122,800 ($1,250,000 US). Late Sunday night in Barcelona, 21-year-old Sebastian Malec might have put himself at the top of that list.
