Largest career win to date
 
Welsh poker pro, Roberto Romanello (34) pushed his lifetime poker earnings over the $1.5 million mark when he took down the Pokerstars.net European Poker Tour Prague Main Event this week in a heads up against Emiliano Bono, taking home a Euro 640000 paycheck.
 
After a tantalisingly close sixth place at EPT Copenhagen earlier this year, an emotional Romanello broke down after the final card was played – this is his largest career win to date.

Final table results:
 
1          Roberto Romanello     Euro 640,000
2          Emiliano Bono             Euro 435,000
