Highlights from the final table of the $10,000 PCA 2019 Main Event from Atlantis, Paradise Island. Six players remain, competing for the first prize of $1.5m. Take a look back at the 2019 Mutua Madrid Open, an unforgettable tournament in which Novak Djokovic and Kiki Bertens were crowned champions, David Ferrer officially retired and Roger Federer made his return to the clay.

It was a historic day for Grzegorzek as the 24-year-old lawyer by profession, and IT professional by trade won the very first live poker tournament he ever played in.

'Still in shock but I’m sure it will hit me within a few hours. It was an awesome experience.'

'I think it’s a great entry-level event,' said Grzegorzek about the EPT Open. 'It’s not that small nor too big. Overall it’s a great first-time poker experience for anybody, and I would definitely recommend it!'

Both Grzegorzek and Kosmis qualified into the event online at PokerStars with the former coming into heads-up play with a more than 2:1 chip advantage. The duo agreed to a deal that left €8,000 and the trophy to be played for.

Kosmis mounted a small comeback in the heads-up match but had to settle for a healthy €140,373 consolation prize after he got it in with ace-four suited for top pair against Grzegorzek's queen-seven who hit a straight.

This was still an incredible result for Kosmis who has been playing poker for a decade, but - as like Grzegorzek - this was his first live poker tournament. Meanwhile, Grzegorzek was on top of the world after the win.
