A year after winning the €100,000 Super High Roller (and less than a week after winning a different event), Mokri did it again in Barcelona.
A back-to-back victory is always worth celebrating, especially when it’s two back-to-back victories in one.
Kayhan Mokri of Norway has just taken down the €100,000 Super High Roller at EPT Barcelona for €1,372,420. He defeated Seth Davies heads-up for the title at a stacked finale that included Jesse Lonis, Santosh Suvarna, Sean Winter and Patrik Antonius.
Almost exactly one year ago he did the very same thing, taking this event down for €750,960.
It’s back to back #EPTBarcelona Super High Roller titles for Kayhan Mokri. 🏆 🏆

If that wasn’t enough, Mokri also took down the €20,000 High Roller event in Barcelona last week for €259,646, which is another kind of back-to-back victory (assuming he didn’t play anything else in between).
“I’m playing a game that I love,” Mokri told PokerNews. “And once you do something you love, you often get very good at it, and you enjoy the moments. So it’s super easy for me.”
