Tom Fuchs won the 2026 PokerStars EPT Barcelona €100,000 no-limit hold'em super high roller after beating Kayhan Mokri heads-up. PokerNews put Fuchs's first-place payout at €1,126,540, while Card Player reported it as $1,306,786, and it was the biggest live score of his career.

The event drew 27 entries and 7 re-entries, with late registration open until the start of Day 2. Organizers had originally planned a three-day marathon, but decided to play it out on the second day instead, so the champion was crowned before the event reached a third session.

The prize pool reached €2,619,540 and was paid only to the top four finishers. Enrico Camosci's elimination created the bubble, leaving the final four locked for at least €314,000.

Mokri finished second for €707,000, Jamie Dwan took third for €472,000, and Byron Kaverman was fourth for €314,000. Mokri’s runner-up finish pushed his career earnings to nearly $24.1 million, while Dwan climbed to 53rd in the Player of the Year standings after adding $547,520 and 240 points.

Fuchs also picked up 360 Player of the Year points and his fifth POY-qualified score of 2026. The result narrowly topped the $1,292,000 he won for taking the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise $50,000 high roller, which had been his previous best payday, and he has more than $7.2 million in lifetime earnings after first cashing in 2020.

Mokri’s final-table run added another chapter to his Barcelona record. He had been the back-to-back champion in 2023 and 2024, did not cash at the festival in 2025, and returned this year to make heads-up again in the €100,000 event.

The 2026 PokerStars EPT Barcelona festival runs through Aug. 29 and features more than 60 trophy events across a wide range of buy-ins.
