Seat 5: Sergio Coutinho, 30, Oporto, Portugal - 872,000
Coutinho has played two EPTs so far – San Remo and Vilamoura last season – but this is his first EPT cash. He was training in physical education until 2005 and turned pro as a poker player around three years ago. This is his best live result but he has made the final of several major online tournaments. He said: “I’ve been doing well online so I thought eventually I had to make a final table in a live event as well.” He has come second and third in major online events as well as coming second in the PokerStars Sunday Second Chance tournament. Last December, he came 11th here in Vilamoura in the €1,000 PokerStars Solverde Poker Season main event.https://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2010-pokerstars-ept-vilamoura/main-event/ipn-browse.htm?x=post
