Igor Kurganov Wins €50k Super High Roller in Barcelona
The final table was packed with seasoned pros, including Daniel Negreanu, Bryn Kenney and Igor Kurganov who eventually won the tournament for €1,022,800 after defeating Poland's Bartlomiej Machon heads-up. It was Kurganov's first victory on European soil since he joined PokerStars Team Pro in spring.
"I won the first few hands of the final table and from there I never lost the chip lead," Kurganov said. "It felt easy actually. I was winning most hands, I even lost with kings to [Bryn Kenney's] king-ten but it didn't matter."
Liv Boeree, fellow Team Pro member and girlfriend of Kurganov, added a few words to the winner's interview: "Let me paraphrase for him. He's very happy. He's very emotional."

1. Igor Kurganov (Russia) €1,078,106*
