Czech student Jan Skampa is the new EPT Prague winner for a first prize of €682,000.

Skampa, who came fourth only two weeks ago at EPT Vilamoura, beat Israeli Eyal Avitan in three-hour heads-up duell. He had already broken records by making two great EPT finals in a row after finishing fourth in Vilamoura two weeks ago.

Skampa, 23, who is studying economics at St Charles University in Prague is now the first Czech champion in EPT history.

A total of 584 players took part in the €5,250 Main Event creating a prize pool of €2,842,100. Jan Skampa, talked after his victory and said: “It feels great to win. It’s my fourth EPT and I won it in my home town – that must be one of the greatest accomplishments you can have in poker. It was tough when we were three-handed but once Stefan Mattsson was out, I felt confident I could win.”

So, it’s over in Prague. Congrats, Jan.
