Michael Schulze Wins PokerStars EPT Polish Open

40-year-old German share trader Michael Schulze won the PokerStars European Poker Tour Polish Open at the Hyatt Regency in Warsaw yesterday, seeing off 358 others on his way to taking down the $609,782 first prize.

Michael Schulze and Ricardo Sousa played tag atop the leaderboard for all of Day 3, so it was only fitting that they were the last two men standing at the final table. In a lengthy heads-up match at the end of an 11-hour final, Schulze finally put away Sousa to claim the EPT Polish Open title and the $946,269 winner’s prize money.

Schulze held the chip lead to start the day, as the final nine seating assignments and chip stacks looked like this:

Seat 1: Trond Erik Eidsvig - 220,000
Seat 2: Christian Öman - 110,000
Seat 3: Mehdi Ouakhir - 360,000
Seat 4: Pacific Poker - 174,000
Seat 5: Daniel Woolson - 164,000
Seat 6: Juan Maceiras - 437,000
Seat 7: Michael Schulze - 1,162,000
Seat 8: Ricardo Sousa - 756,000
Seat 9: Mathias Viberg - 229,000
