EPT har försett oss med korta biografier över finalbordsspelarna:

Seat 1. Rodion Cherednichenko (Russia) 238,000 chips
Rodion Cherednichenko, 38, has only been playing poker for a year and has restricted himself to smallish live tournaments in his local casinos in Moscow. Nevertheless, the married father-of-three is used to stiff competition – he’s a former wake board and water-skiing champion, and is also a keen snow boarder and motorbiker as well. Rodion is a software developer for computer games and also runs a refinery to recycle motor oil.

Seat 2. Daniel Dodet (Belgium) 452,000 chips
PokerStars qualifier Daniel, 41, is from Liege in French-speaking Belgium. He works in the insurance business and has only been playing poker for a year, but he caught the poker bug big time after finishing in the last 300 players in the WSOP main event (he qualified on PokerStars). Daniel is a regular on the growing Belgian tournament circuit and is planning on playing all remaining events on the EPT calendar.

Seat 3. Sasa Biorac (Germany) 194,000 chips
Sasa Biorac, 31, from Wiesbaden has been playing poker for 10 years but, until very recently, stuck to live high-limit cash games, especially Pot Limit Omaha. He combines poker playing with running his own import business … but even if he wins here in Baden, he says he won’t be giving up his day job. “I really have two professions – poker and my business. But to be honest, unless I won every EPT from now on, I wouldn’t make as much as I do from my job.”

Seat 4. Peter Eichhardt (Sweden) – 91,000 chips
Former card dealer Peter Eichhardt, a pro for 11 years, has cashed in dozens of tournaments across Europe and in Vegas with his biggest prize so far being €77,400 after coming 2nd to Jonas Molander at the Helsinki Freezeout in December. His best EPT result was 7th at Deauville in 2005. A keen practitioner of the Japanese martial art Bujinkan, Peter, 40, lives in Stockholm with wife Lena. She will miss his progress on the final table though – she’s flying home this afternoon to care for the daughter Emma.

Seat 5. Jonas Molander (Sweden) – 358,000 chips
Molander from Stockholm, Sweden, has only been playing poker since March, 2004. Already, though, he has proved he is one of the best new talents to emerge out of Scandinavia. He plays online at PokerStars, where he qualified for the EPT Baden in a cash satellite tournament. He has also had great success playing live, after beating Peter Eichhardt heads-up the Helsinki Freezeout last December for $110,522, coming 12th in the EPT London last month for $18,830, and 9th in the EPT Dublin last year for $24,013.

Seat 6. Dario Minieri (Italy) – 652,000 chips
A prolifiic online player with PokerStars, Dario, 22, is no stranger to live tournaments either - finishing 22nd in the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo last March for $16,800, and 543rd in this year’s WSOP for $22,266. He plays so much online - often up to nine tournaments at once for seven hours a day - that he gathered enough Frequent Player Points on PokerStars to become the first player to buy a car with them - a Porsche Cayman. He lives in Rome, Italy, where he takes delivery of his shiny free motor in January.

Seat 7. Ben Johnson (USA) 828,000 chips
PokerStars qualifier Ben, from Brooklyn, New York, was a keen player on the NYC chess scene before he switched his attention to poker full-time two years ago. He prefers the science of cash limit games to tournament poker, but he has a useful tourney record having cashed high in WPT and WSOP events (33rd in 2005). Ben, 29, was 'brow-beaten' into travelling to Baden after his buddy Yakov (AKA 'sacker') qualified in the 'last chance' qualifier for Baden. 'sacker' finished 40th, but Ben could go all the way.

Seat 8. Thang Duc Nguyen (Germany) – 506,000 chips
Originally from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, Thang Duc Nguyen, 42, now lives in Hamburg, Germany. Married with ten-year-old twins, Thang Duc has had some impressive wins including two final tables in last month’s PokerStars.com World Cup of Online Poker, picking up a total of €35,000, not to mention 8th place in the 2004 WPT in Paris where he won €50,990. Yet despite these successes, Thang Duc says he’s “not ready yet” to give up his day job as a chef.
