Seat 1: Georgios Kapalas - 826,000
The Athens, Greece native began playing poker in 2006 and at the end of that year, qualified online for a tournament in Austria. It was the beginning of his live poker career and his game improved rapidly.
Known as “gkap13” online, Kapalas has earned more than $200,000 from poker, including seventh place in a WSOP $1,500 event this summer for $97,000. He also recently won $35,000 online -- his biggest online cash. He has made two final tables in EPT side events -- the €2,000 events in Barcelona and Prague –- but this is his best EPT performance to date.
