Seat 4: Vuong Than Trong, 21, Paris, France - 2,570,000
Computer science student Vuong Than Trong discovered poker two years ago at a party with friends. He mainly plays mid-stakes online cash games using the screen-name "Canard_laque", but decided to take part in EPT Deauville on the eve of the tournament after being persuaded by his friend Basil Yaïche that he could do well.
Throughout the event, he’s been supported by members of the Club Poker French poker forum as well as gaining valuable advice on tournament play from experts such as Flavian Guenan and Clement Thumy. If he does well at the EPT Deauville final table, he plans to take part in a lot more live events, as well as continue with his university studies.
