Daniel Pidun Wins EPT Berlin 2013, Griffin Benger Takes High Roller

Daniel Pidun won the EPT Berlin 2013, taking home €880,000. The final table was reached after a long bubble the day before, with Pidun starting as the second in chips. He quickly gained control of the table, facing Robert Heigh in a heavily imbalanced heads-up (25 million points against 3). Heigh had to double up several times, and after avoiding the first bullet, he repeated with A K. Pidun saw it with 8 9s, miraculously winning the tournament.

Griffin Benger, known online as 'Flush_Entity', won the High Roller event, earning €429,000. The High Roller event, with a €10,300 buy-in, attracted 103 players, accumulating €1,300,000 with 3 re-entries. Benger celebrated his birthday by eliminating Aaron Lim in the heads-up.

Marcel Luske won two side events, earning €32,000 in the Omaha event and €7,170 in the Seven Card Stud Deepstack. Other notable players who won side events include Ankush Mandavia, Jason Wheeler, and Rupert Elder.
