Seat 1: Jesus Cortes Lizano, 22, Zaragoza, Spain - 3,800,000 chips
Lizano is a full-time poker pro from Zaragoza. He started playing when he was 18 and now divides his time 60:40 between online and live, usually cash games. He only came to EPT Barcelona to play the cash games, but entered the live satellite on a whim. He says this is by far his best live result. He gained a lot of respect earlier on Day 4 when a mix-up over chip stacks meant he had been given 500,000 too many – and he swiftly alerted the tournament director.
He is being railed in Barcelona by two friends from home but a lot more plan to come tomorrow for the final.
