Seat 8: Christopher Frank, Germany, PokerStars qualifier – 2,570,000 chips
Not much was known about Christopher Frank prior to his appearance at EPT London, but the 18-year-old has made sure he’ll leave a lasting impression. Frank is playing his second EPT event after narrowly missing the money at the PCA in January, where he also won a side event. Now he’s poised to record the biggest cash of his career.
It makes Frank, who qualified on PokerStars, something of a fast learner, who has already notched up results live and online in the space of a few months. As for EPT London, it’s been quite a trip. “It’s a sick experience,” he said. “So deep and it takes such a long time. It’s nice to have chips but its super hard work.”
Should Frank win, he will become the second youngest EPT winner, behind Mike McDonald who won Dortmund in Season 4, aged several months younger than Frank is now.
