Klemens Roiter Takes Over High Leaderboard

Klemens Roiter entered EPT Barcelona in second place on the High leaderboard of the 2026 PokerStars Live League. He made the most of his time in Spain, winning both a €25,000 and a €10,000 event and finishing runner-up in another. These results vaulted him to the top of the High tier with 6,774.01 points, giving him a lead of more than 1,600 points over second-placed Enrico Camosci.

Camosci had a productive stop in Barcelona as well, cashing 128th in the EPT Main Event and finishing third in the €30,000 Super High Roller. That lifted him to 5,092.72 points and pushed former leader Juan Pardo down to third with 5,056.76 points.

Aleksejs Ponakovs fell one place to fourth, while Kayhan Mokri broke into the top five with 4,495.70 points after recording three cashes at the festival, including a runner-up finish in the €100,000 Super High Roller.

Medium Tier Shake-Up

However, Jason Wheeler closed to within 22.11 points of him after winning the PokerStars Open Main Event, a 4,333-entry field that paid him €731,000 (approximately $846,025).

Manuel Ferrari, who took down the EPT Barcelona Main Event for €1,002,488 (approximately $1,170,857), moved to third in the Medium standings with 3,612.07 points, pushing Conor O'Driscoll to fourth.
