Final Table day

Welcome back to Day 3 of the PPT from the Gran Casino, Barcelona. It's the crunch end of the tournament as just our final table of nine players remain. The players are being introduced to the crowd so let us introduce our final nine to you:



Seat 1. Dimitar Dimitrov. 32, from Dupnista, Bulgaria -- 127,500 chips.
Dimitrov comes into today’s final as the short stack. He is a professional poker and has been playing the game for four years. He makes his living from playing PLO cash games. Away from the table Dimitrov likes to relax by playing football and going to the movies.

Seat 2. Piotr Gajdecki. 21, from Wroceaw, Poland -- 619,000 chips.
Gajdecki made the final table after a very stressful and swingy Day 2 where he went from chip leader to short stack before doubling up twice late on to finish above average. He is a student back in home land and has aspirations to be the best poker player there is. Away from poker he notes his interests as music and basketball.


Seat 3. Jose Maria Felices 43, from Zaragoza, Spain. -- 950,000 chips.
Felices sits second in the chip counts thanks to his aggressive style and a large pot he won with two tables remaining where he knocked out two players. He is a professional player and has been playing Texas hold’em for seven years but has been playing other forms of poker his whole life. He likes to play 5-10 NLHE cash games and tournaments with buy-ins ranging from €500 to €3,000. He has won $77,327 from tournaments in his homeland. Away from the table he likes to sports bet and spend time with his partner and children


Seat 4. Javier Cruz. 42, from Spain -- 272,000 chips.
Cruz is one of four Spanish players coming into today’s final. He is the second shortest stack so will be looking to make moves early on. Poker is a hobby of Cruz’s as he makes his living as a businessman. He has been playing the game for four years and likes to play tournaments and cash games. Away from the baize he likes to participate and watch sports.


Seat 5. David Motoro. 35, from Guadalasra, Spain -- 571,500 chips.
Montoro is another player representing the home nation today and he starts with a stack a little bit more than the average. He’s plays poker for fun when he is not working in the electronics industry. He learnt to play the game four years ago and just plays tournaments.

Seat 6. Olof Haglund. 24, from Karlstad, Sweden -- 1,152,000 chips.
Haglund starts today as chip leader and the only player over one million chips. He is a professional poker player who has been playing for six years. His specialty is heads-up cash games on line. His goal within the game is to earn a lot of money. If he’s not playing poker he can be found on the golf course.

Seat 7. Pawel Jaskolski. 34, from Warsaw, Poland -- 363,000 chips.
Jaskolski is the second representative from Poland at the final table. He owns a company that sells clothes and shoes to children. He has been playing poker for five years and just plays for fun. He likes to play MTTs, sit and goes and cash games online and he will occasionally play live. He will probably play more live MTTs if he wins here today. Jaskolski’s other hobbies include sports and fishing for carp and pike.

Seat 8. Juan Sabitas. 42, from Barcelona, Spain -- 305,500 chips.
Sabitas is Spain’s fourth and final representative but the only player from Barcelona. He works as a technician and has only been playing poker for one year. He has too many poker goals right now to name just one. When he’s not working or playing poker he likes to play and watch many sports.

Seat 9. Aleksandar Abutovic. 45, from Nuremberg, Germany -- 309,000 chips.
Abutovic is Germany’s sole representative at the final table. He makes his living as a football trainer back in his homeland. He has been playing poker for 10 years and likes to play tournaments and 3-6 to 5-10 cash games. His only goal in poker is to keep on playing. Football is a big passion for him but he also likes to travel the world with his son, Joshua.
