Seat 4: Ben Warrington, 25, London, UK - 2,200,000
Ben Warrington is a 25-year-old professional poker player, originally from Epsom in Surrey and now living primarily in London - when he's not travelling the international poker circuit. After making his mark online, where he won more than $2 million in tournaments alone, he is now focused on establishing himself as a live player. He considers his stellar performance here as evidence that he is getting close to achieving that goal.
Warrington was tournament chip leader after day four and took a steady approach to day five, allowing players to bust around him. "I played very patiently," he said. "And I'm still only one double up from pretty much the chip lead." After a placement in Valencia, while studying Spanish at university, he lived in Spain for a few years before returning to his native UK in June.
He is being supported in Prague by his girlfriend Yuresky, who played the ladies event here after qualifying on PokerStars.
