Barny Boatman, a stalwart of British poker, outlasted an impressive field of 1,747 players to clinch the title at the \u20ac5,300 no-limit hold\u2019em main event. <strong><em>Taking the victory home at 68, Boatman has become the oldest champion to ever win an EPT main event.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This victory didn\u2019t just add another trophy to his cabinet; it also secured Boatman his largest-ever payout, \u20ac1,287,800 ($1,390,824 USD), towering over his previous best\u2014a $546,080 prize from a bracelet event at the 2013 World Series of Poker. A member of the legendary UK poker ensemble, the Hendon Mob, Boatman\u2019s career tournament earnings have now soared past $4.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his monumental win, Boatman shared his disbelief and joy, <em>\u201cThis doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s way the biggest result I\u2019ve had in poker, nothing\u2019s close,\u201d<\/em> he told reporters after his win, his words resonating with the magnitude of his accomplishment.<em> \u201cI\u2019m just very happy. I\u2019ve been in quite a few finals where I\u2019ve never quite got the job done. All that was needed was for me to run like god, especially three-handed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The tournament, hosted at the prestigious Le Palais des Congr\u00e8s de Paris, saw a staggering $9,038,000 in total prize money up for grabs, with the top 255 finishers each taking home a portion of the pot. This victory marks Boatman\u2019s sixth tournament title, a collection that includes two World Series of Poker bracelets.<\/p>\n<p>With this latest win at the EPT Main Event, Boatman inches closer to achieving the elusive Triple Crown of poker\u2014a title that entails winning at the WSOP, EPT, and World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Events. Boatman himself sees this as a new horizon to conquer, <em>\u201cIt\u2019d be great to get a Triple Crown, obviously. Who wouldn\u2019t want that? I\u2019d love to go play the one [WPT World Championship] at the Wynn, which I haven\u2019t played.\u201d<\/em><\/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\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png\" 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\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/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><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
