Seat 1: Grzegorz Cichocki, 38, Jedlina near Wroclaw, Poland - 2,059,000
Cichocki has loved card games since childhood but only took up poker in 2005 after seeing it on television. He is now a full-time pro playing live No Limit Hold’em tournaments around Europe. He has played numerous EPTs but this is by far his best live result to date. His best cash before now was runner-up in a €700 side event at the first EPT San Remo in Season 4 but he also went deep at EPT Vilamoura last season and cashed in the EPT Grand Final in Madrid in May for €25,000. He is getting a lot of support going into the final table from the large Polish contingent at EPT Tallinn.
