Bulgarian @Antoan Katsarov only has two recorded live tournament cashes. BOTH are wins. On June 1, Katsarov took down the inaugural Microgaming Poker Network Poker Tour (MPNPT) at @Aspers Casino - Westfield Stratford City, London.

Last night the remaining 12 players were given the choice of playing down to the final nine and continuing the battle the next day or playing until 5 am and deciding the winner by chip counts. They all opted for the latter and in the early morning hours the battlefield was down to Brincat and Katsarov.

At 5 am this morning the @Casino at Portomaso stopped the clock and the chip leader was awarded the Battle of Malta trophy:
