Nach Abschluss der achten Saison der European-Poker-Tour ist der beste Pokerspieler Europas wieder ein Italiener während der beste Deutsche auf Platz sieben zu finden ist.
Luca Pagano – die EPT wurde, möchte man meinen, im Grunde nur für ihn persönlich geschaffen. Zwanzig mal kam der Italiener schon ins Geld bei einem Main-Event der EPT, sieben mal nahm er am Final-Table Platz – zuletzt in Deauville 2012. Gewinnen konnte er zwar noch kein Turnier, aber mit über 1,4 Millionen Dollar Preisgeld gehört er nach wie vor zu den großen Gewinnern der europäischen Pokerbühne. Diese EPT-Saison konnte er auch wieder die Spitzenposition im Leaderboard vor Bertrand Grospellier übernehmen.
Die besten deutschen Spieler in dieser Wertung, Sebastian Ruthenberg und Johannes Strassmann büßten wegen Erfolglosigkeit in dieser Saison einige Ränge ein. Dafür schob sich EPT-London-Gewinner Benny Spindler in die Top-15.
