Another Trophy for Meijer van Putten in Prague
Last year in Prague, the PokerStars European Poker Tour had its last-ever stop. While rumors have surfaced that PokerStars is bringing back the EPT branding for 2018, that has been anything but confirmed, so for now, the 2016 EPT Prague was the last stop of the illustrious poker tour. Dutchman Jasper Meijer van Putten took down the tournament, beating a massive field of 1,192 entrants to take home €699,300.
This week, under the monicker PokerStars Championship, PokerStars returned to the Czech capital. And so did Jasper Meijer van Putten. He strolled into the casino, planning to start his week of poker with the €1,100 National Championship. Instead, he jumped into the €10,000 High Roller and ended up taking down the event for €150,000. We caught up with Meijer van Putten after his win, the 2nd most significant score of his poker career.
