Seat 5: Kevin Iacofano, 25, Chicago, USA - 1,844,000
Cleveland-born Kevin Iacofano qualified for the EPT Copenhagen for just �215 on PokerStars and is now set for the biggest win of his career. Iacofano is an online pro who makes his living grinding tournaments and is also a regular in the $25/$50 mixed cash games over the last six months. No slouch on the live scene either, Iacofano has $197,542 in live tournament cashes and finished third in a WSOP $1,500 PLO event back in 2009 earning $96,128. The only American at the final table, Iacofano had heard that EPT Copenhagen was a hard nut to crack. ��Even the weaker players make it tough for you,�� he said. ��It would mean a lot to win an EPT title here.��.
Iacofano also pulled off what he described as the ��biggest bluff of my life�� on day four, against Sweden��s Nikolas Liakos (who has also made the final). Liakos had led into him on a Kh, 3h, 4c, Qh, Ts board and Iacofano had quickly moved all-in for his tournament life with Ah 8s. Liakos tanked, then folded.
