With a heads-up deal sealing €266,030 and the champion’s trophy, Klemens Roiter claimed victory in the €25,000 No-Limit Hold’em Unlimited Re-Entry event at the 2026 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona, according to PokerNews. Roiter outlasted a field of 39 entries that generated a total prize pool of €936,390, with only the top six finishers receiving prize money.
Roiter reached the final two alongside Ottomar Ladva, and the pair struck a deal before play concluded. Ladva received €267,760 under the arrangement, fractionally more than Roiter’s €266,030, but it was Roiter who took the title. The path to heads-up included eliminations of Mehdi Chaoui in third for €145,100, Jamie Dwan in fourth for €107,700, Nicholas Seward in fifth for €84,300, and Kayhan Mokri in sixth for €65,500, per PokerNews.
Elsewhere in the high-stakes action at Casino Barcelona, Vinny Lingham won the €30,000 Super High Roller Warm Up event, defeating Eelis Parssinen heads-up to earn €306,600, PokerNews reported. Parssinen collected €184,000 as runner-up, while Enrico Camosci took €122,705 in third — the only three players to cash in a tournament that drew 21 entries, including five re-entries, for a prize pool of €613,305.
The Barcelona result marks a return to the winner’s circle for Roiter at the same festival where, according to PokerNews, he recorded five cashes at the 2025 EPT Barcelona series — including a victory in the €30,000 NLHE Super High Roller Warm-Up — for a combined €793,585 across those results.
The 2026 EPT Barcelona series was continuing on August 21, 2026, with the €1,650 PokerStars Open, the €2,700 PokerStars Open High Roller, and the €100,000 EPT Super High Roller among the events on the schedule, per PokerNews.
