Day 1a chip leader Vladimir Geshkenbein (EPT Snowfest winner), Day 1b chip leader Cengiz Ulusu (finished 8th in 2009 EPT Dortmund) and Day 2 chip leader Anton Wigg (EPT Copenhagen winner). All of them made deep runs in the EPT Berlin main event but unforturnately none of them were among the 8 players who battled it out on the final table on Saturday.
In fact, the only real well-known name on the final table was the Canadian pro Andrew Chen and he finished 2nd for €613,000 due to a deal with the winner Davidl Kitai. Kitai is the most successful tournament player ever from Belgium, and he's a respected name among many tournament players. However, this win made sure that he is known by the rest of the world as well. Below are the final table results:
1) Davidi Kitai, €712 000
2) Andrew Chen, €613 000
3) Andre Morath, €290 000
4) Mario Puccini, €220 000
5) Bahadir Kilickeser, €172 000
6) Cesar Garcia, €133 000
7) Marc Wright, €97 000
8) Pratyush Buddiga, €72 000
