Thomas Eychenne wins PokerStars Open High Roller at EPT Barcelona: Twelve months after winning the EPT Barcelona Main Event, Eychenne is at it again. He started the day as chip leader from a field of 1,551 entries and closed it out with the win for €589,395.

Eychenne has now got his sights set on defending the Main Event. He’s just said he’ll be late-regging either tonight or before the start of Day 2. He might be starting late, but he could be a great selection for your Pick 3 fantasy team.
