Glen Chorny, a 22-year-old business student from Ontario, Canada, won the biggest poker tournament ever held in Europe when he took down the €10,000 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Grand Final in Monte Carlo for a first prize of over €2 million.

After only two hands against Hungarian Denes Kalo, Chorny – who won his seat online with PokerStars - took the EPT Champion title with A5 against KQ when his Ace paired on the flop. For 31-year-old stockbroker Kalo, who won €1,179,000, it was the second time this season that he has been an EPT runner-up: he came 2nd at EPT Baden last October.
