Leaderboard: European Poker Tour All-Time Money List

PokerStars’ European Poker Tour is celebrating its 20th anniversary, having debuted in September of 2004 with the inaugural EPT Barcelona stop. There are now 136 players with more than a million dollars in EPT main event earnings to their name, with three having surpassed that key milestone thanks to their performance in the 2024 EPT Barcelona main event. That trio consists of this year’s champion, Stephen Song ($1.46 million), runner-up Andrew Hulme ($1.43 million), and fourth-place finisher Rania Nasreddine ($1.053 million).

There are just 25 players with $2 million or more in EPT main event earnings and only five who have surpassed $3 million. Despite stepping away from full-time poker several years ago, Mike ‘Timex’ McDonald remains in the top spot on this leaderboard with over $3.4 million in EPT main event cashes. The 35-year-old from Waterloo, Canada took down the 2008 EPT Dortmund main event for nearly $1.4 million as an 18-year-old. Six years later he recorded his second seven-figure score in an EPT main event, placing second in the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure for $1,064,865. In addition to those two huge scores, he has three other final-table finishes on the tour.

The second-ranked player on this leaderboard is also Canadian. Glen Chorny took down the 2008 EPT Grand Final main event for $3,193,822, which accounts for almost all of his earnings in main events on this tour. His next-largest qualifying score for this leaderboard was the $80,000 he earned for finishing 13th in the 2008 PCA main event a few months before his big win in Monte Carlo.

Rounding out the top three is 2013 PCA champion Dimitar Danchev with more than $3.1 million. The Bulgarian poker pro earned nearly $1.9 million for that win alone and added another $850,260 as the runner-up in the 2011 EPT San Remo main event. ♠
