A massive group of players from Georgia has settled down in Rozvadov to play in the Main Event. Represented by a full-fledged reporting team, including their own camera's, the Georgians seemed poised to leave a big mark on this event. Their group was so big that an entire bus was needed to bring every Georgian from Prague airport to Rozvadov.
Unfortunately, things didn't quite go as planned. Out of the twenty-something Georgians that took their seat in this event, the former Soviet-state is down to their last member. It's Valeri Bakhturidze who has the hope of an entire nation resting on his shoulders.
Deeply tucked away in his hoodie, the Georgian is fully focused and trying to survive. With 250,000, he's hanging around the average stack. The Georgian reporting team isn't leaving his side and captures every move of their hero as he moves closer to the money.
