Roiter Continues His Barcelona Hot Streak
Casino Barcelona has once again proven to be a goldmine for Austrian pro Klemens Roiter. On August 21, 2026, Roiter added another title to his growing collection at the venue, taking down the €25,000 No-Limit Hold’em Unlimited Re-Entry event at the 2026 PokerStars EPT Barcelona festival for €266,030 after striking a heads-up deal.
It’s becoming something of a pattern. Roiter had an outstanding 2025 EPT Barcelona, racking up five cashes worth a combined €793,585, including a win in the €30,000 NLHE Super High Roller Warm-Up for €507,785. His other notable results from last year’s festival included a runner-up finish in a €10,200 event, a fourth-place run in a €10,200 PLO tournament, and two more min-cash-and-up finishes across the series. Casino Barcelona, it seems, simply agrees with him.
Inside the €25,000 Unlimited Re-Entry Win
This year’s edition drew 39 entries and built a €936,390 prize pool, with only the top six finishers cashing. Norway’s Kayhan Mokri was first to fall in the money, collecting €65,500 for sixth place, before Nicholas Seward (€84,300), Jamie Dwan (€107,700), and Morocco’s Mehdi Chaoui (€145,100) were eliminated in turn.
That left Roiter heads-up against Estonia’s Ottomar Ladva. With the gap between first and second prize money running close to €113,000, the pair opted to negotiate a deal rather than play it out for the full spread. Under the terms, Ladva walked away with €267,760 — slightly more than the advertised second-place prize — while Roiter took €266,030, along with the trophy and the title of champion.

Vinny Lingham Breaks Through for His First Title
Roiter wasn’t the only story out of Casino Barcelona that day. Tech entrepreneur and investor Vinny Lingham banked his first career live tournament victory, winning the €30,000 Super High Roller Warm Up for €306,600.
It’s a remarkable addition to an already unusual résumé — Lingham’s live poker career dates back only to July 2024, yet he had already logged 10 cashes prior to this win, eight of them worth six figures. This victory marks his ninth six-figure score, and his first outright title.
The €30,000 event drew 21 entries (including five re-entries) for a €613,305 prize pool, with only the final three players cashing. Italy’s Enrico Camosci was first out at the money stage, taking €122,705 for third. Lingham then beat Finland’s Eelis Parssinen heads-up, with Parssinen collecting €184,000 as runner-up.
