Seat 4: [Removed:284], Cologne, Germany -- 1,940,000
[Removed:284] has been playing poker since 2007 and initially started playing multi-table tournaments until he decided he was too old for multi-tabling. From there, he started focusing on playing online satellites to qualify for live events like the EPT.
[Removed:287]'s largest scores to date are seventh in the �4,000 European Championship in Baden in 2009 for �25,140 and 84th at EPT Berlin last season for �10,000. [Removed:287] thinks of himself as a recreational player. Outside of poker, his main job is as a field sales manager.
He qualified for this event in his third satellite for EPT Berlin and has already won his trip to the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo? Casino EPT Grand Final next week. He's also already booked his flight to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker this summer, so we could be seeing a lot more of [Removed:287] in the coming months. He enters the final table fifth in chips.
