Seat 5: Max Altergott -- 2,110,000
Digging around online, it's hard to find much about Max Altergott, who enters the final table fourth in chips with 2.11 million. When you've got the defending World Series of Poker Main Event champion tweeting about you, though, you must be someone of notoriety.
Greg Merson tweeted the following yesterday: "Anyone watching ept live, this kid max altergott is one of the best I've ever played in hsnl online games #altifc #endboss"
Altergott is know as "altiFC" online and a regular in some of the largest games in the world, focusing the majority of his energy on high-stakes cash games. In 2011, though, Alergott took fourth in the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker $10,300 High Main Event for $369,581.04. Outside of that, there isn't much to be found in terms of records, as Altergott has opted to keep these private from many tracking sites, which is completely in his right.
We can tell you that Altergott late-registered this event and is new to the world of Super High Roller events, but he may just be making more appearances following this result here. He's already locked up €218,300, but with a hefty chip stack in his possession, that could result in much more for the German.
