Final Table Bios: Seat 5 - Y. Jamal (3,940,000)
Software engineer Jamal grew up in Berlin, Germany, and – now that he’s done so well at NAPT Venetian – can’t resist heading back there next week to take part in the EPT Berlin. The 30-year-old immigrated to the States with his parents when he was 19 but regularly visits Berlin for holidays. He has been playing poker for five years and has had reasonable success in live tournaments. He chopped a 600-player $500 tournament at the Venetian last summer winning $23,006 and came third in a Caesar’s Palace tourney won by Barry Shulman in 2008. Already guaranteed a minimum payday of over $60,000, the NAPT Venetian final is his best result to date.
