Seat 5: Josef Klinger, 42, Vienna, Austria - 1,170,000 | 2010 PokerStars.com EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo

Klinger rose to fame in his native Austria as a chess player in the 1980s, but quit chess in the '90s in favour of poker. When asked what his best results were, he deadpanned, "I have no success," but this is far from the case, as he has taken down several large tournaments in Vienna and his biggest live cash to date was for €85,000.
