Brock Wilson Nears $15 Million in Career Earnings With EPT Barcelona Title

Last Updated on August 20, 2026 by Bala Kumar

Some players have good months. Brock Wilson is having one of those stretches where every big field he sits down in seems to end with his name near the top of the payout list. The American pro’s latest score, a €233,556 win in the €20,000 No-Limit Hold’em Unlimited Re-Entry event at the 2026 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona festival, pushes his career live tournament earnings to the edge of $15 million, and it’s the third eye-catching result he’s put together in barely a month.

Here’s the breakdown of how Wilson got there, what else happened across EPT Barcelona’s other final tables this week, and what’s still left on the schedule for players chasing a title in Spain.

Brock Wilson’s Red-Hot Summer, by the Numbers

Wilson’s EPT Barcelona win didn’t come out of nowhere,  it’s the latest entry in a run that’s been building since midsummer:

That’s three consecutive high-value results across three different continents’ worth of poker calendars, Las Vegas, Florida, and now Spain, inside about a month. The Seminole Hard Rock runner-up finish came just a week before the Barcelona win, meaning Wilson barely had time to unpack before adding another six-figure score to his resume.

Inside the €20,000 NLH Unlimited Re-Entry Win

The tournament drew 32 entrants including re-entries, building a €627,200 prize pool shared among the top five finishers. It was a small but heavy-hitting field, and Wilson had to work through it methodically.

Jamie Dwan was the first to cash in fifth (€58,400), followed by veteran French pro Jean-Noel Thorel in fourth (€72,200) and Brazil’s Gabriel Tavares in third (€99,900). That left Wilson heads-up against an unusual opponent: Ottomar Ladva, an Estonian chess grandmaster who’d built a genuine deep run through the field. Wilson closed it out, sending Ladva home with a €150,600 consolation prize.

The Rest of EPT Barcelona’s Final Tables This Week

Wilson’s win was just one of four final tables that wrapped up around the same time, and the other results are worth knowing too.

€550 NLH In-the-Money at 180,000 drew a massive 572 entries for a €286,000 prize pool, any player reaching 180,000 chips on Day 1 locked up a min-cash and advanced. PokerStars ambassador Maria Konnikova made a deep run all the way to heads-up, but fell to France’s Sacha Cohen, banking €32,500,  her biggest score since winning the NAPT Las Vegas High Roller Second Chance for $66,350 back in November 2025. Cohen took the title for €52,000.

€3,250 NLH Seniors High Roller saw Switzerland’s Yves Thalman claim a career-best €43,530 after outlasting 45 opponents, denying Dutch player Antoine Vranken a rare seniors double in the process, Vranken had already won the €1,100 Seniors event days earlier for €55,650.

€3,150 NLH Hyper Turbo Freezeout went to Denmark’s Mads Larsen for €40,870, his fourth cash of the festival and second-largest career score, beating Greece’s Apostolos Kofidis heads-up. Finland’s Elias Suhonen,  fresh off winning the €10,200 Unlimited Re-Entry event for €114,200 just days earlier, finished third for €17,500, capping his own strong week in Barcelona.

What’s Left on the EPT Barcelona 2026 Schedule

EPT Barcelona is far from over. The festival runs through August 29, and the headline EPT Main Event (€5,300 buy-in, single re-entry) runs across six starting flights beginning August 22, with the final day on August 29. Other major events still to come include:

• EPT Super High Roller (€100,000) — Day 1 begins August 21
• EPT PL Omaha High Roller (€25,000) — begins August 22
• €50,000 Super High Roller Second Chance — August 23
• EPT High Roller (€10,300) — begins August 27
• EPT Mystery Bounty (€3,250, €1,000 bounty) — begins August 25

With multiple qualifiers still running daily for as little as €175–€620 offering seats worth up to 100,000 starting chips, there’s still a genuine entry path into the festival’s biggest events for players without a five- or six-figure bankroll.

Final Thoughts

Three deep runs, three continents, one month, Brock Wilson’s current stretch is the kind of run that redefines a player’s career earnings trajectory almost overnight. With EPT Barcelona’s Main Event and several more high roller events still to play out through August 29, and Wilson clearly playing some of the best poker of his career right now, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see his name back on a final table before the festival wraps.
