Fabiano Kovalski continues to shine at EPT Barcelona, adding a €385,430 victory in the €3,250 Mystery Bounty event on August 27. The win, which includes bounty earnings, marks the Brazilian’s fourth-best live cash and cements the Catalonian festival as his most profitable stop, with five of his six largest scores now coming from Barcelona.

The tournament attracted 1,027 entries, including re-entries, generating a €2,988,570 prize pool. More than €1 million of that total was distributed through mystery bounty envelopes, adding extra drama throughout the event.

Several recognizable names reached the money or collected bounty prizes before elimination, including Martins Adeniya, Cherish Andrews, Dara O’Kearney, Michel Molenaar, Alexandre Reard, Endrit Geci, and Nick Palma. Italy’s Candido Cappiello busted in 21st place but still banked the tournament’s fifth-largest prize, €124,250, after opening an envelope worth €113,000.

At the final table, Britain’s Philip Corion departed in ninth for €46,600, followed by Russia’s Viacheslav Goryachev, winner of this event at EPT Monte Carlo earlier this year, in eighth for €40,870. Andre Moreira’s elimination in seventh brought him €127,720, while Longmao Fan’s sixth-place finish guaranteed remaining players a six-figure payday.

Career-best results followed for India’s Paawan Bansal, who earned €179,420 in his first recorded cash, and Chile’s Edgard Moreau, who collected €116,640 for a fourth-place finish, surpassing his previous top prize from a Brazilian high roller event.

In heads-up play, Kovalski defeated the United Kingdom’s Brandon Harris, who took home €216,820 for second place, securing his third career title.
