Francesco become famous for the exceptional result at EPT Copenaghen in 2010 where he finished second, winning approximately $400,000.

Some months later, he went to Las Vegas for WSOP 2008, where he cashed in the Main Event, finishing 503th. His favorite loves are Texas Hold’em Tournaments and his favourite player is Phil Ivey. His Pokerstars ID is Checco.D.

Seat 2. Max Lykov, 23, Moscow, Russia – Team PokerStars Pro - 1,495,000
Russian pro Max Lykov started playing poker back in 2005 while studying engineering at university. By 2006,  he’d started crushing the online game and says he has still only ever made two $40 deposits. He now has a huge bankroll and is one of the highest earning Russian live tournament players of all time. Lykov’s breakout year came in 2009 with a run of deep finishes at events around Europe, including winning a Red Sea Poker Cup event. In Vegas, he came close to winning his first WSOP bracelet , finishing third in a $5,000 NL Shootout event for $145,062. Just a few weeks later, Lykov scored his first major title, winning the inaugural EPT in Kyiv, Ukraine, for $468,504. He finished 13th at EPT Snowfest last season and won a $1k side event at the 2010 PCA for $100,000. At this year’s PCA he topped that with a third place worth $369,490 in the $25k High Roller tournament.  A month later, he final-tabled WPT Venice, bringing his total live tournament ear ings to over $1.4 million.

Seat 3. Rupert Elder, 24, UK - 8,005,000
Rupert Elder, a former Economics student at Warwick University and now professional poker player, has been playing the game for several years. He mostly plays a mixture of online $2-4, $3-6 and $5-10 NLHE cash games though he switches across to tournaments on Sunday nights. Whatever happens on today's final table, this will be Elder's biggest ever live tournament result. His previous best was 80th for €10,000 at the EPT in Berlin a few weeks ago, in what was only his second ever EPT (the first being the PCA earlier this year). Elder will be supported tomorrow by his good friend Andrew Teng who was eliminated in 12th place as well as former PCA finalist Ricky Fohrenbach. Elder isn't too happy about being seated to the right of Max Heinzelmann who he rates as the most dangerous opponent at the final table tomorrow but still remains confident.

Seat 4: Max Heinzelmann, 20, Heubach, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany - 7,885,000

Prior to Berlin, the 20-year-old German was already a familiar figure on the EPT circuit, having played around 20 events.  His Berlin success dwarfed his previous best live results which include 41st at EPT6 London for £12,800 and final tables in two side events - EPT San Remo €300 Turbo last season and the EPT Vilamoura €1,000 NL event last September. He’s been playing poker for around two years after a friend sent him a few dollars to deposit online. He has won both the PokerStars Sunday 500 and the $100 Daily rebuy tourney. His online winnings now total more than $450,000.

Seat 5: Xuan Liu, 25, Toronto, Canada- 1,740,000

After college, Liu carried on playing live cash games and enjoyed success for several years. She recently switched her focus to live tournaments and has so far amassed over $80,000 earnings. She took to the live poker circuit last November, competing at NAPT LA before travelling to Spain for EPT Barcelona. Her breakthrough came soon after when she won a EPT San Remo €1,000 side event in December for €48,000.  Liu is the first female finalist this season; the last woman to make a final was Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree who won EPT San Remo last year.

Seat 6. Roberto Spada, 36, Ostia, Italy, 4,775,000
This is the first time that Spada, who comes from Ostia, near Rome, has played a major live tournament and he says that getting a seat in the final is a dream come true. He started playing online six years ago on PokerStars.com with the nickname "robertino74", and now plays on PokerStars.it as "Spacchennatt". Spada mainly plays cash games and says he spends his winnings on his four kids. His family are coming to support him at the final.

Whatever happens at the final, his wife and daughter will come out of it well – he’s pledged to buy them some great presents.

Seat 8. Costantino Russo, 27, Italy – 2,565,000
Russo, who hails from Naples, has been playing poker for the last five years with good results, including a final table at a tournament in Saint Vincent, as well as a positive performance in high stakes cash games. Russo might not be that well-known in Europe but he says he has been improving his game and he is now considered “someone to watch” on the Italian circuit. Russo just recently graduated in Economics from one of the most prestigious universities in Italy, the “Bocconi” in Milan. He’s now a pro player and, as well as poker, he is also keen on chess and backgammon. He’s planning to use his next poker winning to increase his bankroll and book a fantastic holiday.
