Players take a short break!
Julian Thew is the most experienced of the two players; this is his third EPT final table and he won the Plymouth GUKPT event two weeks ago. He is a professional tournament poker player from Nottingham in the UK. He is 40 in a few days time and when he turned pro his aim was to pay off his mortgage by then. He was $20,000 short when he entered this contest but if he wins he can pay it off and maybe buy a holiday home somewhere for cash, too!
Denes Kalo is a sales manager from Budapest, Hungary. This is not his first final table in a major event. He was the runner-up in the €3000 EPM in Vienna last year. The €50,000 he won then is chicken feed to either of the prizes up for grabs when play restarts here.
The winner will get €670,800 whilst the runner up will get €375,000.
Julian has 1,800,000 to Denes's 1,000,000 chips.
