Seat 3: Rainer Kempe, 26, Berlin, Germany, now UK – PokerStars qualifier - 3,775,000 (21 Big Blinds)
Kempe is one of numerous German players who have moved to the UK to play online. Most settle in London but Kempe has headed down to the lovely seaside resort of Brighton on the South Coast, a city which is also home to EPT Berlin runner up Robert Haigh and British pro James Dempsey.
Kempe, who hails from Berlin but studied at the University of Potsdam, already has a string of good live results including seventh in the $1.111 Little One for One Drop in Vegas this summer for a lifetime best cash of $90,189.
His best EPT result was fifth in a €2k NL Turbo side event at the EPT Grand Final in May, cashing for €15,820. Kempe won his seat in to EPT Barcelona in a €320 Deep Hyper-Turbo back in June.
