Seat 2: Dominik Panka, 22, Poland �C PokerStars qualifier - 3,695,000
Panka, who hails from the tiny town of Brze?? Kujawski in Poland, is enjoying the deepest run he��s ever experienced in a live event. Before this year��s PCA Main Event, Panka only had $8,092 in live tournament cashes to his name, the majority of that from a 42nd place finish in the EPT 10 Barcelona Estrellas �2k High Roller. Guaranteed $173,220 for eighth making the PCA final, Panka is now set to earn at least 21 times his lifetime tournament cashes. Panka is the ninth player hailing from Poland to make an EPT final table but no Pole has ever laid claim to a title. Entering the final table fourth in chips, Panka has a solid chance to make history and become the first Polish EPT champion. He won his seat to the 2014 PCA in a $700 Mega Qualifier on PokerStars.
