Seat 1: Jordan Saccucci (Canada) - 12,925,000
The last time 33-year-old Jordan Saccucci came to Prague he ��got his ass kicked��, so when he returned to the Czechia capital this week, he had two objectives: have some fun and hopefully win some money back. Everything seems to be going to plan as he enters the penultimate day boasting a big chip lead.
Hailing from Mississauga, Toronto, Saccucci plays a lot of poker but doesn��t consider it his job. ��I don��t rely on it, it can be rough!�� he told us. You could say it��s been smooth sailing in this Main Event though, especially considering Saccucci busted another big stack with pocket aces versus pocket kings late last night. ��It was a good feeling,�� he says. ��It got a bit shaky on the turn when the club came but it was a big pot!��
