987 became one in the Bahamas last night, and we crowned the first EPT champion of 2013.
Dimitar 'ddanchev' Danchev is from our Bulgarian community and was previously best known for nearly winning EPT San Remo in 2011.
In fact he was just one card away from taking that down, losing to a river card which ultimately saw Andrey Pateychuk take down the event and Danchev coming second.
History was not to repeat itself and once Danchev got to heads-up with Joel Micka he cruised to victory by winning two big coin flips in a row.
This is all amazingly after starting the final table as the second shortest stack.
Not only was this $1,859,000 win the biggest in Danchev's career, it was also the biggest single cash ever recorded by a Bulgarian poker player.
Congratulations to Dimitar 'ddanchev' Danchev from everyone at PokerStrategy.com.
