Finnish online poker player €urop€an knows how to make a deal.
The unidentified online pro took down WCOOP-35 $1,575 Super Tuesday Special for $297,450.
The original first-place payout? $292,450.
€urop€an achieved the feat by cutting a very smart deal three-handed. The three remaining players left an extra $36,450 for the winner and €urop€an went ahead and won that too.
€urop€an already has a Sunday Million victory and a SCOOP win so all that he’s missing for the so-called PokerStars Grand Slam is a TCOOP title.
