Players from more than 80 countries entered bracelet events across the series, with 15,779 total entries recorded and more than \u20ac39,500,000 paid out. For poker in Europe, those numbers gave the festival extra weight and helped lock in its status as a major stop on the live tournament calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the headline finish. The \u20ac5,300 WSOP Europe Main Event became the largest open event in European history, producing a \u20ac13,085,000 prize pool from 2,617 entries. Kudzmanas came through that field to secure the title, and his run stood out for the way he handled a big stack. WSOP pointed to his measured but aggressive approach as a key part of the win.<\/p>\n<p>For Kudzmanas, the result matters on a few levels. He already had two online bracelet wins, so the Main Event victory now gives him a live WSOP Europe title to sit alongside success on the digital side of poker. In simple terms, he proved he could do it on both stages.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
