Joao Barbosa Wins the PokerStars.com EPT Warsaw, Nico Behling Eliminated in 2nd Place (�205,270)

Winner, runner-upper
Winner, runner-upper
We have a champion!

Nico Behling raised to 60,000 from the button, Joao Barbosa reraised to 200,000, Behling moved all in and Barbosa called.

Behling: {J-Spades}{7-Spades}
Barbosa: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Barbosa hit top pair on the {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop while Behling made middle pair. However, several of his outs disappeared on the turn when the {6-Hearts} arrived, Barbosa picking up the nut flush draw. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and it was all over.

Behling graciously congratulated his opponent with a handshake, noting that the jack-seven was his lucky hand. Unfortunately Behling couldn't summon its powers tonight, but his �205,270 second-place prize is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

Congratulations to Joao Barbosa, who takes an EPT title home to Portugal, along with �367,141. Barbosa is also about half an hour away from celebrating his 26th birthday and it's sure to be one that he'll never forget.
