Shahin Shirazi Nejad in Seat 1
Shahin Shirazi Nejad is Sweden's lone representative on the final table in Seat 1. While he plays tons of live poker back in his home country, this is only his second trip outside of Sweden to play poker. The other was also in Tallinn when he ran deep in the Swedish Poker Championships.
Although Nejad enters the final table with the second shortest stack with 14 big blinds with 347,000 in chips, he shared with PokerNews that playing without a lot of chips is one of his strengths and is confident he will make the right moves.
He is excited about the prospects of making a deep run and shared he would have fun no matter how deep he finishes in the Main Event.
The Kings of Tallinn also helped him get the bug to travel more for poker. He shared the experience allows him to meet new people and discover new places.
