EPT Paris: Daniel Dvoress Reigns Supreme, Pardo Expands His EPT Trophy Collection

Dvoress Dominates in Paris

The High Roller events at EPT Paris 2026 are known for their exclusive participants, comprising the global elite. Event #12: €25,000 Super High Roller Warm Up confirmed this, attracting 32 entries filled with star-studded names.

Canadian professional Daniel Dvoress emerged victorious, taking home €286,040 from a total prize pool of €752,640 after tackling the final table. Bulgarian Dimitar Danchev took second place, while Norway's Kayhan Mokri completed the podium. Only five players cashed in.

Paris seems to be a favorite spot for Daniel Dvoress. In 2024, he dominated two 25K events here, and now he’s added his fourth EPT trophy to the collection, including his third in the French capital. 

Spanish Heads-up: Pardo vs. Mateos

Event #10: €20,000 NL Hold'em attracted 31 entries and created a compact yet incredibly strong field, resulting in a prize pool of €583,296 shared among the top five players.

The final duel turned into an all-Spanish affair. Juan Pardo emerged victorious, claiming €221,096. Fellow countryman and Spain's top career earner, Adrian Mateos, took second place. Pardo secured his seventh EPT title, completing his winning collection across six different locations.

Behind the Spanish duo was the Canadian pair Michael Watson and Daniel Dvoress, joined by Austrian Klemens Roiter. Remarkably, this trio made it to the final table in two tournaments over the span of two days.
