Seat 1: Pierre Sayegh, Lebanon - 349,000
It seems that every European WPT stop has at least one member of the final table who plays like an absolute rock; and the WPT Cyprus rock is Pierre Sayegh. At 54 years of age, Sayegh is the oldest member of the final six and maybe this is why he has so much patience. The married man of two has been involved in far fewer pots than his competition, but hasn’t lost a single one that has mattered. Sayegh qualified for this event through a live satellite and it’s not only his first WPT event, but it’s his largest live cash to date.
