Urmo "PidrPan" Velvelt Waving the Estonia Flag

Jaxon

Estonia is a small country of around 1 million people but you wouldn't know it playing at GGPoker where consistently you will see the blue and white Estonian flag often deep in events.

Urmo "PidrPan" Velvelt represents Estonia in tonight's event with the second shortest chip stack.

This was Velvet's 10th appearance in a Super MILLION$ event and tonight will represent his second cash. This cash is already guaranteed to be Velvet's biggest in a Super MILLION$ event, but has some work to do in order to surpass his biggest score on GGPoker of $214,051 when he finished runner-up in the WSOP Event #58: $5,000 NLHE 6-Handed.

Regardless of how Velvet finishes, he is guaranteed to pass $1 million in earnings at GGPoker as he is heading into tonight's action with a total of $953,841 in tournament winnings.
