Entries:1/1,162
Prizes:€342,209

With his elimination of Victor Amat in second place, Finland’s Antti Perttula is now crowned the winner of the record-breaking Ring Event #1: €350 Mini Main Event. He has emerged victorious from a field that consisted of 1,162 entries. Not only is he awarded with €36,100, but also the coveted WSOP Circuit Ring, the prestigious title, a $5,000 package for the 2026 WSOP Paradise, and, of course, eternal poker glory.

A second-place finish for €36,100 would have been bigger than Perttula’s previous biggest live cash (€25,867). Instead, he more than doubled it, capturing the biggest live poker tournament win of his career. It’s a very, very happy Perttula that is currently getting his winner’s photo taken next to the live reporter’s booth.

That wraps up today’s hand-for-hand coverage on the poker.pro live blog. There will be some more casual updates today, mainly from the three Ring Events still going on. Tomorrow, a longer recap of today’s action will be posted as a full-length article on poker.pro.

Below are the final table results from the Mini Main Event; head to the “Results” tab for the full results.
