Seat 7: Michael “mae9690” Eiler, 20, near Munich, Germany - PokerStars qualifier – 2,160,000 chips
Economics student Michael Eiler is better known as "mae9600" online, having won the Sunday Million in March 2010 for $260,000, after defeating a field of more than 10,000 players. The 20-year-old mainly plays online but also competes in smaller live events with buy-ins between €1,500 and €2,000. Although pleased to have made the final the PokerStars qualifier was massively disappointed at having lost nearly half his stack in the last hour of Day 4 – some 900,000 to Daniel Negreanu, then another million to Konstantinos Nanos ten minutes later.
