$10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale
Level 2: 100/200 with a 25 Ante
Players: 250

As expected for an event of this caliber, there are players from quite literally all over the world in attendance this afternoon.

Europe is particularly well represented in the field. Stephen Chidwick, Craig McCorkell, and Charlie Carrel are here from England, as is Scotland’s Niall Farrell. The Germans came to play, too, with Jan Schwippert, Martin Finger, and Rainer Kempe already seated (and Dietrich Fast likely on the way).

Michael Tureniec is here from Sweden, Eugene Katchalov from Ukraine, and Anton Astapau from Belarus. There are a pair of Bulgarians, as well, with Aleks Dimitrov and Dimitar Danchev both in attendance. Adrian Mateos is here from Spain, too.

From a little closer to home, Mike Leah, Noah Vaillancourt, and Kristin Bicknell are all representing Canada in the field, as is Canadian-born North American nomad Ari Engel.

They’re not all from abroad though; there’s a strong contingent of locals in the field, too. Charlemagne Benjamin, Paul Balzano, Harrison Gimbel, and Ory Hen are all South Florida residents and familiar faces in the halls of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, and each of them are looking to win one for the home team.
