Seat 1: Jack Sinclair, 31, the United Kingdom �C 4,840,000

London��s own Jack Sinclair has made it to a big final table at a second consecutive EPT stop. He finished second in the record-setting field of 6,313 entries in the Estrellas Main Event in Barcelona.

The �377,120 payday was Sinclair��s third-biggest live cash, as he��d previously notched two seven-figure scores at the World Series of Poker. With such pedigree, Sinclair is arguably the most experienced player on the EPT final table.

He��ll collect his fourth EPT Main Event cash on Friday, and a top-three finish would help him break $5 million in live tournament winnings tracked by the Hendon Mob.

Seat 2: Alexandre Vuilleumier, 40, Switzerland �C 1,695,000

Alexandre Vuilleumier
Alexandre Vuilleumier

Alexandre Vuilleumier started collecting live tournament cashes in 2018, but he wouldn��t notch his first reported result in Europe until this March. That��s when he finished 66th in the EPT Prague Main Event for �14,720. Since then, he sneaked into the money in the EPT Barcelona Main Event as well (99th for �17,820).

Vuilleumier will now add a third ITM finish to his tally. He��s nearly equaled his $160,000 score from a summer event in Las Vegas and is guaranteed to break $500,000 in winnings.

Vuilleumier can make a spectacular mark on the EPT, having a chance to become only the second Swiss player to take down the Main Event title �C after Ronny Kaiser at EPT Tallinn 2011.

Ian Hamilton had only 10 reported live cashes to his name before entering the EPT London Main Event. Hamilton has already impressed on the EPT, though.

In March, he scored �156,030 for second place in the �2,500 Mystery Bounty Event, including the bounties.

Hamilton has had a great run here in London, reporting above-average stack every day. Entering the final day will see him start in the bottom half of the standings for the first time.

Seat 4: Danut Chisu, 67, Romania �C 5,025,000

Danut Chisu

Danut Chisu had fewer than eight big blinds when he returned for Day 2. He was the stone last in the standings, but the 67-year-old from Bucharest bounced back. Chisu has a chance to become the first-ever EPT Main Event winner from Romania, with only five opponents in his way.

Chisu is a poker veteran with more than $1 million in career earnings. Ninth place on the Romanian all-time money list, Chisu is guaranteed to vault at least into seventh place.

Most of his best results came in Cyprus, but he has already made a deep run at EPT. In Monaco, it was Jussi Nevanlinna who dismissed Chisu in 25th place, forcing him to settle for a �26,230 payday.

Seat 5: Roman Hrabec, 26, the Czech Republic, PokerStars qualifier �C 6,135,000

Roman Hrabec
Roman Hrabec

Roman Hrabec hails from Prague but lives in Vienna, where he plays mainly online. Hrabec has been competitive ever since he was a kid. He played hockey for Sparta Prague and moved to Switzerland after he turned 14. He pursued his hockey career there, making it to the pros.

Hrabec spent 10 years in the country, playing for various clubs at various levels. It was during his hockey trips when he discovered poker. Interested in the strategy, Hrabec quickly elevated his game and decided to pursue a professional poker career. It��s been an astonishing rise to the top for the 26-year-old riding a wave of success.

While online is Hrabec��s bread and butter, he has also notched several big scores live. The latest came here at EPT London when he picked up ��155,780 for second place in the UKIPT High Roller. A top-five finish in the EPT Main Event would propel Hrabec to an even higher payday.

Seat 6: Nils Pudel, 30, Germany �C 1,270,000

Nils Pudel
Nils Pudel

Nils Pudel comes from Hannover but resides in Austria. Pudel is a full-time poker player who was a Platinum Pass winner in the 2019 edition.

On the live felt, Pudel has racked up just over $50,000 in cashes, but he��s constantly studying the game together with poker friends.

Making the final table at EPT London easily tops his $7,580 payday from a side event in the Bahamas, which had stood as his best result. Pudel already has a major title from the online realm under his belt, though, having won a SCOOP event in 2020.
