Seat 5: Giuliano Bendinelli, 31, Italy – 10,700,000

Giuliano Bendinelli has been playing the EPT events for more than a decade. He had cashed in five Main Event before the record-breaking EPT Barcelona tournament, but none were big deep runs.

Bendinelli's resume, however, includes a lot of side event results. Until this trip, Bendinelli's top score had stood at €100,000 for nine years. Back then, he won a €1,100 event at EPT Monte Carlo.

Now guaranteed to eclipse $1 million in live cashes, Bendinelli will set a new career-high with his EPT Barcelona payday. He can join Salvatore Bonavena and Antonio Buonanno as the third EPT Main Event champion from Italy and end an eight-year drought for the country.
