Casino Barcelona continues to be a lucrative stop for Austria’s Klemens Roiter, who has captured another title at the 2026 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona festival. Roiter won the €25,000 No-Limit Hold’em Unlimited Re-Entry event, earning €266,030 following a heads-up agreement.
This marks Roiter’s latest strong showing at the venue. During the 2025 EPT Barcelona festival, he recorded five cashes, including one title, for a combined €793,585.
The 2026 edition of the €25,000 event drew 39 entries, creating a prize pool of €936,390, with only the top six players earning a payout. Kayhan Mokri was the first to cash, receiving €65,500 for his sixth-place finish.
Nicholas Seward, Jamie Dwan, and Mehdi Chaoui followed in the payouts, collecting €84,300, €107,700, and €145,100 respectively before Roiter reached heads-up play against Ottomar Ladva.
With a nearly €113,000 gap separating first and second place, the two players opted to negotiate a deal. Ladva ultimately took home €267,760, more than the official second-place prize of €210,700, while Roiter accepted €266,030 in place of the full €323,090 top prize, along with the title.
Elsewhere at EPT Barcelona, entrepreneur Vinny Lingham won his first major live tournament title, taking down the €30,000 Super High Roller Warm Up for €306,600 after defeating Eelis Parssinen heads-up. The series continues on August 21 with several high-profile events, including the €100,000 EPT Super High Roller.
