The King's Million tournament once again affirmed its status as one of the largest poker events in Europe. Although the organizers set the guarantee at an enticing €1,000,000, the massive interest from players easily surpassed this mark. A total of 5,769 entries were recorded, generating a prizepool of €1,114,570 at a buy-in of €230.
In the final day, 48 players took their seats, with a German player nicknamed “Tourist” starting as the chipleader. However, it was Cupellini who dominated the final table, eliminating most of his opponents and ensuring the final showdown was an all-Italian affair.
Cupellini faced Eros Zappacosta in heads-up play, entering the match with a massive 6:1 chip lead and leaving no room for drama. He confidently cruised to a career-defining victory and, in addition to the cash prize, like all players in the top ten, received a €3,000 package, including tickets to the upcoming Kings Million European Poker Championship.
