Seat 5: Arvi Vainionkulma, 21, Helsinki, Finland - 258,000
Finnish Economics student Arvi Vainionkulma is heading for the biggest live cash of his career in Tallinn - and is already up €4,250 after winning the Last Longer contest run by Skrill, the Official Payment Provider Sponsor of EPT Season 8. Prior to EPT Tallinn, Vainionkulma’s biggest win in a live event was € 8,192 for making the final table of the €2k Midnight Sun tourney in Helsinki in June. He also final-tabled a €1k side event at the Irish Open in April. He says he’s happy to have made the final but disappointed that he’s now the short-stack after losing a giant pot to Grzegorz Cichocki in the penultimate hand of the day.
