Player Profiles: Seat 5: Rania Nasreddine
Rania Nasreddine has pulled off an incredible feat at EPT Barcelona, making back-to-back Main Event final tables. The 44-year-old finished third for �442,900 in Monte Carlo earlier this year, by far the biggest score of her poker career. But she could top it this week.
Nasreddine, a lawyer from Tulsa, Oklahoma, already had plenty of live poker experience before her maiden EPT final. Still, she downplayed her talent. ��I��m not that good,�� she said at the time. ��I��m outkicking my coverage, as we say in America.��
But here she is, once again playing on an enormous stage with another six-figure score guaranteed, so don��t let her modesty fool you. Throughout the Barcelona Main Event, she��s shown not only how you build chip-leading stack, but how you recover when you��re down and almost out. At one point sitting with just seven big blinds, Nasreddine charged back and entered the penultimate day with the biggest stack.
