The last Czech standing Lukas Zaskodny is no stranger to the feature table at King's. In 2019 he won the PartyPoker Millions Main Event for €906,770. Zaskodny who is currently in seventh place has work to do to challenge for the top prize.
Bursting onto the scene is Israel's Tom Cohen who is making his second major final table at Rozvadov in the space of the year. In September 2021 Cohen won the Dutch Classics Main Event for €83,793. Today he is looking for his first six-figure score.
Two players come to the final table with less than 20 big blinds. Volkan Alkan is the shortest stack with 13 big blinds. He has already guaranteed to make his biggest recorded tournament cash and will be looking to increase this figure.
Vincent De Neve will be starting with 17 big blinds but has experience on the final table in this event. The September 2021 WSOPC event at Rozvadov saw De Neve finish 3rd for €114,709.
