Barcelona was once again the host for the World Heads-Up Championship, with Italian pro Mario Stivoli eventually winning the title.

Despite not being able to secure a TV deal this year, a total of 59 players bought into the event. Stivoli beat Cheng Gupsen, Juse Luis Navarro, James Atkin, Vidal "14" and Nicolas Dervaux before facing Jonas 'nebuchad' Danielsson for the championship.

The event also saw an admirable performance from Dan Carter who finished 5th. Dan will be joined by Matt Dale on Thursday night in the Bluff Europe Madness freeroll, where he will have a €250 bounty on his head.
