Seat 3: Larry Ryan (Tipperary, Ireland) - 1,338,000 | 2009 PokerStars.com EPT Prague

Larry Ryan won his seat to Prague in a $22 rebuy satellite on PokerStars and is the last remaining PokerStars qualifier in the tournament. The 46-year-old grandfather, who runs his own employment agency in Tipperary, only came to Prague in the first place so that he could gain some experience before the PCA. He has qualified for the PCA but was keen to get more practice at deep-stack tournaments first. EPT Prague is actually the first event he has ever played outside Ireland but he's a familiar figure on the Irish Poker Tour which he has won a seat to four years running. Ryan started playing draw poker as a teenager and took up NLHE six years ago. This is his best live result to date although he came ninth at the Irish Poker Championships in Galway last year for €10k. He has also won a seat to this year's Irish Poker Championships which takes place next weekend and is now the launch event for the new PokerStars.com UK and Ireland Poker Tour.
