Seat 7: Kenny “SpaceyFCB” Hallaert, 29, Namur, Belgium – 3,599,000
Hallaert is a semi-professional player who lives in Namur and runs tournaments at the local casino. He also runs marketing for the casino catering for non-French speakers. He’s played numerous EPTs (his guess is anything from ten to 15) and has qualified for most of them. Making the final – where he’s guaranteed at least €66,800 – is not his biggest live result. He came sixth at the Master Classics in Amsterdam in 2009 for €86,184 and last season, he came 37th at the EPT Grand Final for €35,000. He also won the PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up tourney in January 2009 and was top of the PokerStars TLB the same month. He is now keen to become the first ever Belgian EPT champion.
