Seat 6: Yorane Kerignard (26, Aix-en-Provence, France) – 2,145,000
Yorane Kerignard started playing poker after watching a documentary on television in 2007 featuring French singer and film star Patrick Bruel playing against online qualifiers. The 26-year-old industrial design graduate plays on PokerStars under the username "viirusss".
Favouring multi-table-tournament events, Kerignard proved his skills in the live arena when he made the final of the EPT Copenhagen Main Event. His fourth place in that event is the best result of his career to date; if he finishes better than sixth here in San Remo, he’ll beat his Copenhagen achievement prize wise.
Kerignard spends most of the year in Marrakech, Morocco, which allows him to play on PokerStars.com. He won his seat to San Remo online on PokerStars.
Kerignard will enter the final table sixth in chips.
