Seat 7: Aleh Plauski, 28, Minsk, Belarus - 4,705,000
Aleh ��cooltwister�� Plauski has scored more than a million dollars online at PokerStars and $449,386 in live tournaments, most of which came from a sixth place finish at the EPT Grand Final for �300,000. Not only is Plauski obviously a tournament talent but he��s also keeps good company.
��I think it��s important for me [to win]. A friend of mine has this result, he��s my classmate,�� said Plauski. That classmate, with whom he shared a maths class, is Mikalai Pobal, winner of EPT Barcelona earlier this season.
��There are two trophies that Belarus took, but only one for Russia. It would be nice to have a third result for Belarus. Let��s go!�� added Plauski, aiming to follow in Pobal and Vadzim Kursevich��s footsteps.
