Final Table Bios: Seat 4, Massimo Di Cicco (429,000)
Hometown: Sant’Elia Fiumerapido, Italy
Massimo, who celebrated his 50th birthday on Thursday, is a medical dentist from Sant'Elia Fiumerapido near Frosinone in Lazio, central Italy. He has been playing Texas Hold’em for two years and started playing on PokerStars six months ago. This is only the second live tournament he has ever played; the first was a side event in Venice where he came in third. He said: “I feel very emotional about getting to the final table; I never thought I’d get to this point. It’s not enough to be good in a tournament like this – you also need a lot of luck to get to the final. The biggest emotion for me is telling my wife and children about it over the phone.”
