Seat 5: Robert Romeo, 41, Sambreville, Belgium - PokerStars qualifier - 1,440,000
French-speaking Robert Romeo started playing poker around 2007, first with friends and then online. Initially, he played just for fun but, as time went by, he started taking it more seriously.
This is his first EPT but he didn't have to spend much to enter, having qualified on PokerStars in a €4 rebuy satellite! ”And I didn't take any rebuys, just the add-on”, he adds. Married with four children, Robert plans to buy a house and shower his family with presents if he wins. He says also that a victory would cause him seriously to consider taking up poker as a second job.
