Ben “NeverScaredB” Wilinofsky from Canada celebrated his first ever cash live by capturing the €825,000 first place prize and the European Poker Tour title. The Canadian player, who was a PokerStars qualifier, outlasted a field of 773 players from 50 different countries over six days of tournament.
The 22 year-old player is a star and a very respected online player with impressive results in the online tournaments. Since August 2007, his online winnings exceed $2,1 million. Wilinofsky is an instructor at PocketFives where he is specialized in high-stakes MTTs as well.
“I had to do everything right and hope for the best. Everyone on the final table played very well. They’re great players and really nice guys as well. I am feeling so much overwhelming emotion I can’t even think right now. It’s incredible,” said the EPT Berlin champion.
