Marco Oliveira Has Big Plans for His Big Win

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

According to PokerStars, Marco Oliveira was the winner of what might possibly be the smallest ever first prize awarded at the EPT Grand Final. The 28-year-old Brazilian, who has more than €151,000 in live tournament winnings and two final tables at the World Series of Poker and last September's LAPT Panama City Main Event, won €750 for his victory in the €200 2-7 Single Draw 6-Handed Turbo.

Officials believe the coveted EPT trophy he received might even be worth even more than his winnings.
"I'm going to go wild with the money," he said of the prize. At Monte Carlo prices, Oliveira will be lucky to get a cup of coffee with his winnings. If he joins forces with Thomas Couquet from France who scooped €414 for his second place, they may even get a ‘café gourmand’ between them.

There was a small but enthusiastic field of six contestants in the event, generating a total prize pool of €1,164.
