Congratulations to Aleksandar Abutovic - PPT Barcelona Champion (€27,000)

Aleksandar Abutovic is the PPT Barcelona champion after a long final table battle that spanned eight levels of play. In the final hand he found pockets jacks and saw them hold up against Jose Maria Felices' three-four to claim the title and the biggest cash of his poker life.

Abutovic came into today's final 6th in chips but played a very patient game throughout. That patience payed as his opponents fell around him. He laddered his way to the final four before he started making big moves and progress to match. By the time three handed play began he was the clear chip leader and was able to negotiate a deal that matched his position.

He allowed his two opponents to knock each other out before he came back from another deficit heads-up, defeating the very talented Felices and claiming the trophy for himself.
