Final Table Player Profiles: Seat 5: Maksym Mamon, 41, Zurich, Switzerland - 2,625,000
You may not find many results when searching for Maksym Mamon's poker pedigree. But make no mistake, Mamon started playing poker about 20 years ago. Mamon is a recreational player; he runs a business at home in Switzerland. But he says he tries to play every week, be it online or live.
"My problem is that it takes so much time, so I can't play too often," Mamon admitted. So he won't stay in Monaco for the EPT part of the festival �� the business won't wait. Still, Mamon is looking forward to playing on the live-streamed feature table as he's never experienced that.
He came to Monte Carlo with his family, but it's mostly the sea that draws their attention. "It's the only thing we miss in Switzerland," Mamon said after naming hiking, skiing, and cycling among his hobbies --activities that suit his Swiss address.
