Seat 5: Pedro Marques, 25, Portugal (6,950,000)
From Corroios, Portugal, Pedro Marques joins his fellow countryman Rodrigo Carmo at the EPT Barcelona Main Event final table. Marques is certainly the more familiar player from the two, having amassed over $560,000 in live tournament cashes. The 25-year-old's best result came last year here in Barcelona.
He made it to a four-way deal in the €2k PokerStars National High Roller, taking home an even €300,000. Marques' pedigree also boasts a WPT Prague bronze medal. His previous longest run in an EPT Main Event was a 46th place finish at EPT11 Barcelona. Marques sits in 13th place on the Portuguese all-time money list but an outright win here in the Main Event would catapult him all the way to the top.
