Seat 8: Mike “Timex” McDonald, 20, Canada - PokerStars qualifier - 1,815,000 chips | 2010 EPT Deauville

In 2008, when he was 18 years old, Mike "Timex" McDonald became the youngest ever champion of an EPT Main Event, earning $1.4m as he won in Dortmund and also became the first Canadian champion on the European Poker Tour. In Deauville today, McDonald now stands a chance of becoming the first two-time champion in the tour's six-season history, on what will be his third EPT final table. A regular on the internet poker discussion forums, and a feared presence at the online tables, "Timex" has numerous five-figure successes in the major tournaments and more than $2 million in live winnings. He now divides his time almost 50-50 between the online and live game - and has recently found a new hunger. "I've felt a lot more motived by poker in the last six to eight months," he said. "I wasn't really feeling that motivated before." Be warned.
