Seat 1: Dzmitry Urbanovich (4,325,000)
Poland's Dzmitry Urbanovich was all the rave in the first half of the year, and he's picked up right where he left off in the second half of the year.
Before the summer, Urbanovich cashed in and final tabled six events at the recent European Poker Tour Malta festival. Of those, he won four, including the €25,500 High Roller for €572,300.
He then traveled to the EPT Grand Final in Monaco and earned three more highly-impressive results. First, he took second to Erik Seidel in the €100,000 Super High Roller for €1.446 million after completely skipping Day 1 of the event. Then, he finish 40th out of 564 players in the €10,600 Main Event for €23,125. Finally, the young star took third in the €10,200 Six-Max No-Limit Hold'em Turbo for €101,600.
Now, he boasts nearly $2.775 million in live tournament earnings entering this event and sits first on Poland's all-time money list — all without even being 21 years old.
