While players were battling out in the European Poker Tour’s Grand Final, PokerStars hosted an invitation-only table with poker pros playing for a first-prize of $100,000.

Barry Greenstein won the event, outlasting a talented field, according to pokerstarsblog.com:

The line-up was among the toughest you’ll see. Daniel Negreanu, Katja Thater, Dario Minieri, Bertrand “Elky” Grospellier, John Duthie, Vicky Coren, Noah Boeken, Barry Greenstein, and PokerStars Supernova Elite Joe “bigjoe2003″ Michael, who won a Supernova Elite satellite to the event.

Whole thing here.

In the end, Greenstein beat EPT creator Duthie heads up. The chips were shoved in the middle with Greenstein’s ace-king suited beating Duthie’s 9-8 suited.
