The player known only as Mystery Kid has captured the €3,000 EPC High Roller title at the King’s Million European Poker Championship, enduring a marathon 19-hour final day to claim the trophy.
The Israeli grinder was no stranger to deep runs at King’s Resort this week, having already finished as runner-up in the €250 Mini Main Event for €76,500. This latest result marked an improvement, as he topped a field of 152 entries to secure the tournament’s top prize of €110,300 from a slightly overlayed €500,000 prize pool.
Mystery Kid defeated Romanian player Mihai Tabac heads-up to win the King’s Royal Scepter trophy, crediting his mental stamina for carrying him through the lengthy day. He noted that his experience with long tournaments gave him an edge over tired opponents.
Entering Day 2 among the chip leaders, Mystery Kid maintained a strong stack through the bubble, which burst when Thuy Kieu exited in 24th place. A key pot won against Jakub Sterba propelled him back to the top of the counts heading into the final table.
His run was briefly threatened when his pocket aces were cracked by MajikMike’s king-six suited with seven players left, leaving him short-stacked. He rebounded by winning a crucial flip against Paul Runcan, who was eliminated in fifth place, before retaking the chip lead after eliminating coolstorybro in fourth.
MajikMike fell in third, setting up a heads-up battle where Tabac briefly seized the lead before Mystery Kid closed out the win, calling an all-in bluff on the final hand to seal the title.
