Seat 4: Max Heinzelmann, 20, Heubach, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany - 7,885,000
Heinzelmann was runner-up at EPT Berlin a few weeks ago and could better that €500,000 win here in San Remo. Prior to Berlin, the 20-year-old German was already a familiar figure on the EPT circuit, having played around 20 events. His Berlin success dwarfed his previous best live results which include 41st at EPT6 London for £12,800 and final tables in two side events - EPT San Remo €300 Turbo last season and the EPT Vilamoura €1,000 NL event last September. He’s been playing poker for around two years after a friend sent him a few dollars to deposit online. He has won both the PokerStars Sunday 500 and the $100 Daily rebuy tourney. His online winnings now total more than $450,000.
