Seat 2: Victor Paraschiv - 1,115,000 chips
Victor Paraschiv is a 35-year old professional poker player from Romania. Paraschiv has been in the game for five years and currently ranks 22nd in the Romanian all time money list with $149,105 in live tournament cashes.
Paraschiv first got into poker after watching a PartyPoker TV commercial and thought he would give it a try. His largest cash to date is $135,000 after besting a field of 114 entries in an event held in this very casino.
In level 22 Paraschiv doubled up through the then chip leader Walid Bou Habib when he put it all on the line 
v 
. Then in level 23 he rivered a flush in a hand against Ran Azor to give himself well over a million chips and enough breathing space to cruise to the final table.
