RIVER MONSTER Stephen Song WINS PokerStars EPT Barcelona Main Event
Twenty years ago, Alexander Stevic etched his name in poker history by winning the inaugural European Poker Tour (EPT) Main Event. The 2004 series featured just five events, a humble beginning compared to today’s expansive, star-studded EPT circuit. That modest start became a springboard for aspiring poker players, transforming young upstarts into legends of the game.
Household poker names like Jason Mercier, Victoria Coren-Mitchell, and Hall of Famer Patrik Antonius launched their careers and began their rise up the ranks after finding success on the EPT's iconic blue felt. Now, another emerging superstar has left their mark on one of poker's most prestigious tours.
Despite the black clouds and torrential downpour outside Casino Barcelona, which contrasted with the sunny scenes of previous PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona Main Events, Stephen Song provided the warmth needed in the room as he proudly hoisted the 20th Anniversary Golden Shard trophy.
