Seat 1: Andreas “daskalos20” Christoforou, 32, Nicosia, Cyprus (2,560,000)
Andreas Christoforou has been a professional multi-table tournament player for the last four years. The Cypriot plays all the Sunday majors and made a Super Tuesday final table on PokerStars as recently as July playing under the name “daskalos20”. Christoforou also plays as “o daskalos” on Full Tilt and has cashed for more than $1.25m across the two sites. This is already his largest live cash but he had a couple of deep runs at the WSOP where small cashes could have been bigger.
“I will do my best but I know it’s tough ... I’m an experienced player, I know what to do, but I have to be lucky as well,” said Christoforou.
