The World Series of PokerEurope<\/strong><\/a> continues at King\u2019s Casino Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic<\/strong>. Many new bracelet winners have emerged as European vie for some hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n The standout over the last week was France’s<\/a> Julien Martini<\/strong>, who grabbed two bracelets.<\/span><\/p>\n The festival runs through Dec. 8\u00a0 with more than \u20ac11.5 million<\/strong> guaranteed. The \u20ac10,350 Main Event<\/strong> is also now underway and is set for Dec. 3-8 with a \u20ac5 million<\/strong> guarantee. Here\u2019s a look at some of the winners over the last week of action.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It took multiple days but Kosovo\u2019s Edmond Jahjaga<\/strong> won his first bracelet after taking down the Colossus<\/strong> event.<\/span><\/p>\n Jahjaga defeated France’s Riadh Farhart in heads-up play for the title. The event featured 2,478 entrants<\/strong> and Jahjaga won \u20ac147,775<\/strong> for his victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “It means a lot to me,\u201d Jahjaga told WSOP.com. \u201cI don’t know how to describe it because it comes so unexpected. The whole experience feels like a movie and it just happened.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The mixed event drew in 339 players to create a <\/span>\u20ac483,075<\/strong> prize pool. Antoine Vranken<\/strong> of the Netherlands scored his first bracelet after defeating Moncef Karoui of Tunisia.<\/span><\/p>\n Originally this event was scheduled to be a two-day event but the tournament went into a third day. Ten players returned to Day 3 to chase the gold including a short stacked Vranken. However, he stayed patient and was able to make a run to score the win.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Denmark\u2019s Maximilian Klostermeier<\/strong> crushed the competition in the <\/span>\u20ac5,000 PLO<\/strong> event. This was the second bracelet win for Klostermeier. His first bracelet was won in 2019 in a PLO event as well.<\/span><\/p>\n Klostermeier<\/span> defeated 184 players to score a payday of \u20ac204,010<\/strong>. The total prize pool for this event was \u20ac830,300<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Bulgaria<\/strong> had a heavy presence at the final table as Nikola Minkov, Vasil Medarov, and Veselin Karakitukov all made an appearance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Frenchman Julien Martini<\/strong> (pictured above in lead image) won his second bracelet on Tuesday after winning the Short Deck<\/strong> event. The event drew in 98 players and created a prize pool of <\/span>\u20ac214,130<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Martini won <\/span>\u20ac60,009<\/strong> for first place. <\/span>For those new to Short Deck, the game\u00a0 uses a 36-card deck<\/strong> with all the twos, threes, fours, and fives taken out. This changes the odyssey for a couple hands:<\/span><\/p>\n Romania\u2019s Sergiu Covrig<\/strong> showed to be the top bounty hunter last week after defeating Germany’s<\/a> Michael Strauch<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Covrig grabbed his first bracelet and <\/span>\u20ac79,282<\/strong> for the victory. This event also needed an extra day of play as 604 entries jumped into the field. The prize pool was a total of \u20ac214,130<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Besides Strauch, Tim Novotny and Pierre Trauer also represented Germany at the final table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ukraine\u2019s<\/a> Andriy Lyubovetskiy<\/strong> won <\/span>\u20ac518,430 after defeating Joni Jouhkimainen heads up in this high stakes affair. This was the second time in a week Jouhkimainen scored a runner-up for a finish.<\/span><\/p>\n The total prize pool reached \u20ac1.7 million<\/strong> and included 72 players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Italian<\/a> player Simone Andrian<\/strong> netted his first bracelet and <\/span>\u20ac158,616<\/strong> after topping the Czech Republic\u2019s Josef Snejberg<\/strong> in heads-up play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Andrian defeated a field of 535 entries<\/strong> to capture the gold. The Czech Republic also claimed the fifth-place spot as Jan Bednar scored \u20ac31,320.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Most players are lucky enough to win one bracelet in a lifetime, but for Julien Martini he grabbed two in a week.<\/span><\/p>\n On Thursday, Martini won <\/span>\u20ac33,910<\/strong> and his second piece of hardware. He defeated 61 entries and took his piece of the \u20ac107,207<\/strong> prize pool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the final day, 10 players were left including Max Pescatori<\/strong> of Italy. However, Pescatory, Borja Gross, and Roland Israelashvili all busted out in the first few minutes when action restarted<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The WSOP Europe is wrapping up over the next few days.
