Seat 5: Laurynas "LaurisL91" Levinskas, 27, Lithuania (4,765,000)
Lithuania is yet to crown their first EPT Main Event champion, but Laurynas Levinskas might change that for the Baltic country. Levinskas marched through the field at EPT Prague to earn a seat at the six-handed finale. The 27-year-old player has already been at a few truly huge final tables.
He is a former Sunday Million runner-up, playing as "LaurisL91" at PokerStars. Levinskas has amassed nearly $3.5 million in online tournament winnings through his career. His most impressive deep run in a live tournament came four years ago here in Prague when he finished second in the EPT High Roller, banking €412,910. Both of his largest live and online cashes came out of a heads-up loss,
But Levinskas does know how to close things out; he demonstrated that in the PokerStars Championship Macau HK$103,000 event where he outlasted an incredibly skilled final table which featured the likes of Philipp Gruissem, Mikita Badziakouski, and Sam Greenwood.
