Seat 3: Antonin Duda (3,445,000)
Describing himself as a "mid-stakes" chess player, who only began playing poker regularly one year ago, Antonin Duda from Jablonec, Czech Republic was the chip leader at the end of Day 3 in Barcelona and has navigated all the way to the final.
He is an economics student, who supplements his income by playing chess and online poker, specializing in multi-table tournaments of buy-ins from $200-$2,000. This is by far his biggest live score - his previous best result before now was a $723 min-cash in a tourney in Prague last year. He won his seat to EPT Barcelona in a €22 re-buy event on PokerStars in early June.
