If anything, it reunited a great crop of skilled players who took their chances at Casino Barcelona. But poker is seldom about chance alone.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"michael-soyza-wins-the-e10300-high-roller-event\">Michael Soyza Wins the \u20ac10,300 High Roller Event<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Michael Soyza<\/strong>, a name that you may have heard about in poker managed to blast his way clear to victory at the <a href=\"http:\/\/pokerdb.thehendonmob.com\/festival.php?a=r&amp;n=23707\">2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona<\/a>, dominating throughout one of the most nerve-wrecking events on the schedule, namely the <strong>\u20ac10,300 High Roller<\/strong>. Casino Barcelona hosted the competition which saw Soyza overcome opponents of particular skill and merit, including Kai Lehto and even the well-established professional, Liv Boeree. <\/p>\n<p>Soyza, though, hardly did exceptionally in his first and surprisingly last days. With a proclivity for taking risks, he managed to burn through half of his chips on both his first and last days, putting him in a tight spot. However, hardened by circumstances and previous games in the high rolling segment, Soyza, who is from Malaysia, managed to fight his way back.<\/p>\n<p>He did face tough competition beyond Lehto and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinepokeramerica.com\/news\/daniel-negreanus-hunt-for-7th-career-wsop-bracelet-denied-by-power-couple-liv-boeree-and-igor-kurganov\/\">Boeree<\/a>, too. Two more names were there to nearly-prevent Soyza from grabbing the title, and those were Orpen Kisacikoglu and another famed pro, Luc Greenwood.<\/p>\n<p>Soyza\u2019s victory has fetched him <strong>\u20ac302,500<\/strong> in tidy, fresh profits. He was followed by Lehto, the runner-up who left the race with \u20ac204,500, and only then did the turn of Kisacikoglu come who claimed \u20ac133,00. <\/p>\n<p>The rest of the competitors, included Bahram Chobineh from Iran who took \u20ac110,100 home. <strong>Dario Sammartini<\/strong> from Italy had to settle for \u20ac88,880. Boeree hit the sixth spot in the overall standing with \u20ac70,000, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalpokerindex.com\/poker-players\/liv-boeree-80110\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">her all-time earnings exceed those of Soyza<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Goran Mandic and Luc Greenwood qualified seventh and eight respectively \u20ac53,500 and \u20ac40,300.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-rest-of-the-barcelona-tour\">The Rest of the Barcelona Tour<\/h2>\n<p>The rest of the event promises to be no less action-packed and exciting, though. Soyza is now considering playing in the Main Event and some of the side events, but he hasn\u2019t quite made up his mind yet. <\/p>\n<p>Soyza is not an amateur in poker either. He has managed to cash out <strong>over $2.3 million<\/strong> in his career as a professional poker player. He joined the scene back in 2017, making it his first year when he played full time and dedicated to the game. It was a bold move, especially after he had decided to quit his day job in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Soyza\u2019s recent poker successes are a sure-fire sign that he has made the right choice by opting out of a job and plunging into the thick of poker. He still has a long, long way ahead of him, especially now that he has gathered the financial means to support his hobby-turned-career-path.<\/p>\n<p>With more high rolling action coming, particularly the <strong>\u20ac100,000 Super High Roller<\/strong> event part of the \u20ac1,100 National Championship, we will see more high-paced poker action take place. <\/p>\n<p>In the meanwhile, we will keep you posted should Soyza decides that it\u2019s time to win any more titles at the Barcelona meet-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The EPT Barcelona has definitely been one of the best events to follow around the world of poker competitions.
