The World Poker Tour Barcelona drew a crowd of 326 players last week, gathering a prize pool over €1 million. It was the largest field that this stop on the WPT circuit has ever seen, with the first place €315,000 taken home by German player Ali Tekintamgac, who was playing his second-ever live event.

Tekintamgac went into the final table with the chip lead and never looked back. When heads-up play began, he held a 5-1 chip lead over his opponent, Roberto Garcia Santiago. It didn't take long for Tekintamgac to finish off his opponent. Santiago moved all-in with and was up against Tekintamgac's . The board ran out and Tekintamgac earned himself a seat in the WPT World Championship, a Tiffany bracelet, and of course, the cash.
