The partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Grand Final Barcelona<\/strong><\/a> festival is in full swing and we already have two champions crowned.<\/p>\n

Andreas Eiler<\/strong> is \u20ac700,000 richer than a couple of days ago courtesy of him winning the first of two \u20ac25,500 Super High Roller events. Eighth-eight entries means the \u20ac2 million guarantee was surpassed by \u20ac134,000 and it was the top nine finishers who got their hands on some prize money for their \u20ac25,500 investment.<\/p>\n

Turkey\u2019s Orpen Kisacikoglu<\/strong> bust in ninth-place for \u20ac60,000, the same sum Team partypoker\u2019s Kristen Bicknell<\/strong> was awarded for finishing in eighth. Bicknell\u2019s boyfriend, the immensely talented Alex Foxen<\/strong>, fell in seventh-place for \u20ac90,000 with Byron Kaverman<\/strong> of the United States finishing in sixth-place to pick up \u20ac120,000, the first six-figure score of the event.<\/p>\n

Two Spanish players in the shape of Juan Pardo Dominguez<\/strong> and Adrian Mateos<\/strong> then bust in fifth and fourth-place for \u20ac150,000 and \u20ac204,000 respectively, before the legendary Erik Seidel<\/strong> crashed out in third for a \u20ac300,000 score.<\/p>\n

Heads-up saw Eiler battle with fellow German Rainer Kempe<\/strong> and it was the former who emerged victorious thanks to his ace-nine prevailing against Kempe\u2019s ace-six.<\/p>\n

Davidi Kitai wins the second \u20ac25,500 Super High Roller<\/h2>\n

\"Davidi<\/p>\n

Belgian superstar Davidi Kitai<\/strong>, who is to become a father later this year, made a late decision to play in the second \u20ac25,500 Super High Roller and it was a decision that turned out to be golden.<\/p>\n

Kitai arrived into Barcelona quite late after attending a friend\u2019s wedding and was not going to register for the second of the \u20ac25,500 Super High Roller. He had a good feeling about the event, bought in and now he\u2019s turned his \u20ac25,500 into a cool \u20ac700,000.<\/p>\n

Making the victory even sweeter was the fact Kitai found himself trailing Juan Pardo Dominguez<\/strong>, who earlier finished fifth in the other \u20ac25,500 Super High Roller, 7:1 in chips, but managed to claw his way back into contention before brushing aside his Spanish opponent to take the title.<\/p>\n

A coinflip decided where the trophy was heading, Kitai\u2019s pocket sixes holding against the queen-jack of Pardo, who you may know as \u201cMalakastyle\u201d in online poker circles.<\/p>\n
