Seat 7: Danilo Velasevic, 35, Serbia (40,900,000)
It’s been an excellent summer for Danilo Velasevic, who came to Barcelona fresh off notching his biggest live score — $214,500. That result was for fifth place in a Triton high roller event in London, where the Serbian pro stopped last month.
Velasevic has recently elevated his game to the level required to compete in the high-stakes fields, a big step in his 13-year poker career. That alone makes him one of the top contenders on the final table. The 35-year-old from Belgrade backs it up with many excellent online results, including a $470,000 score and two PokerStars SCOOP titles.
