EPT Berlin High Roller Won By Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier has won the European Poker Tour Berlin High Roller Event, after topping a tough field of 57 players over two days on his way to collecting the  €231,000 ($301,992) first place prize.
The €10,000 ($13,610) High Roller tournament took place at the Grand Hyatt Berlin and attracted a whole top flight of pros to create a prize pool worth $872,190 (including nine re-entries).
The second day of the competition then saw 27 players return and play down to a final table of eight, with the winner subsequently determined later on the same day. Eventually, French poker star Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier found himself heads-up against the UK’s supremely talented Chris “Moorman1” Moorman, who at that point held a 2 to 1 chip advantage.
Chris “Moorman1” Moorman is the highest earning online tournament player in history with $7,910,319 in winnings and only started cashing in at live tournaments in 2008. He has since amassed $2,657,951 in live winnings and famously finished 2nd at the 2011 WSOP  $10k Six Handed Event for $716,282, and the same year 2nd at the WSOP Europe Main Event for €800,000 ($1,068,690).
On this occasion, Moorman had to settle once more for a runner-up finish in Berlin worth €145,200 ($189,824), but seemed pleased with his performance, later tweeting: 
“Came 2nd in the end. Really happy with how I played but wasn’t to be in the end. Lost 3 out of 3 all ins hu for the match but what a war!”
In the meantime, Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier picked-up yet another title while taking his live career earnings to a staggering $9,092,892. He is now ranked 17th on poker’s ‘All Time Money List’ and is only one of a handful of players to earn a Triple Crown, having won the EPT PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and the WPT Al Lago Classic in 2008, and a WSOP bracelet last year.
