EPT BARCELONA SEASON 6 – FINAL TABLE PLAYER PROFILES

Seat 1: Georgios Kapalas, 25, from Athens, Greece – 826,000 chips

After just a few years of playing poker, Kapalas is now considered one of the best poker players in Greece. He is also the top Greek "Magic the Gathering" player with a lot of success in international tournaments. He started playing poker in 2006 and at the end of that year, qualified online for a tournament in Austria. It was the beginning of his live poker career and his game improved rapidly. Known as “gkap13” online, Kapalas has earned more than $200,000 from poker, including seventh place in the WSOP $1.5k event this summer for $97,000. He also recently won $35k online - his biggest online cash. He has made two final tables in EPT side events – the €2k events in Barcelona and Prague – but this is his best EPT performance to date.

Seat 2: Mihai Manole, 27, from Bucharest, Romania – 410,000 chips

Mihai is a professional poker player and has been playing poker for the last six years. He lives in Bucharest and graduated in computer science last year. He plays both online and live - cash and tournaments - and has had a string of great results including second place at the Caribbean Poker Classic in 2007 for $145,500. He also made the final table of the WSOP $2k event in 2008 for $155,000.

Seat 3: Santiago Terrazas, 40, Madrid, Spain – PokerStars sponsored player – 546,000 chips

Santiago runs a construction company in Madrid but has been playing

poker for the last ten years. He started off with the Spanish card game Mus and was a Spanish champion before taking up Texas Hold’em. He has had considerable successes in live events including 338th place in the World Series of Poker main event in 2007 for $39,000. He is a familiar figure in the Spanish poker community where he is usually known just as “Terrazas”.

Seat 4: Asa Smith, 22, from Ledbury, UK – 1,380,000 chips

Smith is one of the UK's brightest young talents and currently on a tournament heater having strung four back to back cashes on the PokerStars European Poker Tour. This is the deepest that the young English professional poker player has gone however - and he could go all the way. A big score will add to the $92,259 that Smith has already scooped in EPT tournaments since he cashed for $24,000 at the 2008 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. Smith usually plays mid- to high-stakes cash games online and says that he plays full time “as long as you can count playing 15-20 hours a week as a job”. His biggest EPT cash to date was €25,000 in the €10,000 EPT Grand Final at Monte Carlo last season.

Seat 5: Carter Phillips, 20, Charlotte, North Carolina - PokerStars qualifier – 4,421,000 chips

Former student Phillips has appeared regularly on the EPT since going deep in both San Remo and Monte Carlo last year, busting within sight of the bubble. Barcelona will be his biggest live cash, topping the €29,500 won earlier this month, chopping a €1,000 side event prior to EPT Barcelona. He also narrowly missed a Latin American Poker Tour event final table, busting in tenth place in Vina Del Mar last January. Those results, and his performance this week, demonstrate a development from online player, username “Bdybldngpkr,” to live tournaments. In the ten months spent playing full time, Phillips has competed among the best in the game. “Online you play against the same people and get a feel for how they play,” he said. “Ninety per cent of them might play full time. In EPTs there’s a mix of pros and recreational players. But I approach it the same way.”

Seat 6: Matt “Lapozie” Lapossie, 23, from London, Ontario - PokerStars qualifier – 2,938,000 chips

A professional player from Canada, Matt Lapossie has been a dominant force throughout this tournament at Casino Barcelona. After qualifying in an $800 satellite on PokerStars he steadily built a stack through day one and exploded on day two, ending as chip leader. Supported throughout by his girlfriend Tamara, Lapossie has been a menace at the tables, impressing all with some massively accomplished and fiercely aggressive play. This is his second EPT event and he spent much of day four on the featured table, where he'll return for the final third in chips.

Seat 7: Toni Ojala, 34, from Turku, Finland – 754,000 chips

Ojala has been playing poker for four years and has already had several notable successes in live events. He won the Finnish Championship last year for €136,800 and cashed three times at this summer’s WSOP including 11th in the £1k event for $80,566. His tournament winnings to date total nearly $ 340k. He has already cashed at three EPTs but this is his first EPT final table.

Seat 8: Marc Goodwin, 49, from Birmingham, UK - 3,100,000 chips

Goodwin is one of the best-known players in the UK with a poker career going back nearly two decades. His live tournament earnings amount to over $1.4 million. A former double glazing window salesman, Goodwin turned pro after finishing third in the Monte Carlo Millions in 2005 for $325,000. He has had numerous successes since then and in 2008 won the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Manchester tournament for £90,420. He has played numerous EPTs and has cashed three times – in Baden, Dublin and London. However making the final table in Barcelona is his best EPT result to date. Marc is in the top 25 of the all-time money list for English poker players.
