COVID-19 may have moved the goalposts in terms of how live events are run but that doesn’t mean bars can’t be raised. The first live European Poker Tour main event of 2021 not only gave Martirosyan his maiden title but was bigger than last year’s. With 852 entries in this ₽175,000 ($2,311) main event consisting of 548 players and 304 reentries almost all hailing from Russia, the total field size saw a 51% increase over 2020. Martirosyan’s first EPT trophy was his second-biggest live score (behind $495K in the Partypoker Millions Live super high roller event in March 2020, just before the world started to shut down). “The trophy has such a cool design,” he said to event reporters after the final table. “It was one of the reasons why I didn’t cut a deal.”
