EPT Online wraps up
This year has been absolutely incredible for Twitch Poker, there’s no doubt about it. Things got even better over the past couple of weeks as we got to tune in to cards-up coverage from the European Poker Tour (EPT) Online on the PokerStars channel.
The amazing series wrapped up last night with the $5,200 Main Event final table–an action-packed affair that saw Sweden’s “WhatIfGod” defeat high roller legend Timothy Adams heads-up to win the $1.02 million first-place prize.
It could have been different, of course. For example, had Jon “apestyles” Van Fleet won this enormous flip:

Check out our full recap of the $5K Main Event here.

His Raise Your Edge Twitch stream showcases his skills in the biggest online games running, and in honour of his enormous charitable donation last week, we want to encourage everyone to show him some love.
