Carter Phillips Won EPT Barcelona

Twenty-year-old American poker pro Carter Phillips ended the five day PokerStars EPT Barcelona tournament Wednesday as the champion, besting an original entry field of 478 players to collect the trophy, the kudos and the main prize cheque for Euro 850 000.

Carter, who came from North Carolina, said: “The feeling is unreal. The whole tournament it felt like any other tournament to me, even when we got heads up. I think once the river hit the deck, all the emotion came in to me at once and I didn’t even know how to react.”

“It just all hit me at the same time and it’s overwhelming, as you can tell from my reaction,” said Phillips.
