Seat 4: Enis Rouissi, 44, France and Tunisia – 44,200,000
Enis Roussi only recently started to dip into live tournament fields. He's no newbie, though, as he claims to have played the game for two decades. Several years back, he took up online poker, which quickly hooked him.
As a strategy and management consultant for a large company, Rouissi splits his time between France and Africa. He is very proud of his dual nationality, embracing his French and Tunisian heritage.
A lucky spike with queens against kings saved him on the last two tables before a call and muck from Pietro Corsi propelled him to a chip-leading stack on the final table.
Rouissi said he is the only non-professional player among the final six, "so I don't feel pressure, unlike them."
While a lot of money is on the line, Rouissi claims the prizes won't change his life. "I'm delighted and excited," he said about having a chance to compete on the big stage.
