Seat 6: Asan Umarov, Kazakhstan (2,235,000)
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Asan Umarov goes in to the history books as the first ever EPT Main Event finalist from Kazakhstan.
He is also the last Spin & Go qualifier left in the tournament after winning his €9k prize package in PokerStars’ special €10 Spin & Go promotion. There were 120 players who won their trip to Monaco in the promotion.
Umarov works for the Kazakh sports news site SportPokerKz and lives in Almaty. Prior to this Grand Final, Umarov only had two live cashes to his name, totalling $4,155 – including fifth in the $300 Kazakhstan Poker Cup in his home city for $2,400.
Seat 5: Jan Bendik , Slovakia (2,625,000)
Currently ranked #1 in the Slovakia all time money list, Jan Bendik absolutely dominated the Player of the Race in Season 9. Most of his points that season came thanks to great performances in side events. He won three €1k side events and enjoyed deep runs in a further six. His biggest cash, netting him more than €60,000 was winning the €1k No Limit in Deauville.
However, what really cemented his lead was taking down the €1k NL Turbo tourney in Monaco.
He has been an EPT regular for the last eight years and owns an electricity company in his homeland. Poker has been very fruitful for him as he has amassed over €2 million in tournament winnings including fifth at EPT8 Sanremo for €170,000, runner-up in the EPT10 Prague Eureka High Roller and sixth at EPT7 Prague.
He has been playing various card games since his childhood. He first got in touch with poker in 2001 when he discovered five-card draw. He switched to Texas Hold'em about ten years ago and his first success came soon after, when he was runner-up in the 2006 Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam, banking €97,000. He is also the first Slovak player to make three EPT Main Event final tables.
Seat 4: Oren Rosen, Israel (2,315,000)
Prior to the EPT12 Grand Final, 39-year-old Oren Rosen had amassed $50,840 in live cashes and was barely in the top 100 in Israel’s all-time money list.
However, he's now guaranteed to triple his live tournament winnings by making the final table. Three players from Israel have made it to an EPT final before now, but there has yet to be an Israeli champion. Eyal Avitan came close at EPT6 Prague, finishing second to Jan Skampa.
Rosen hails from Ramat Gan, located east of Tel Aviv. He's already picked up a trophy this season, winning the $600 Turbo Event at PCA 2016, taking $15,720 along with the silverware. Rosen's biggest results to date however have come in the online realm. He has both SCOOP & Sunday Warm-Up titles, and also made final tables in the Super Tuesday and Sunday Million.
Seat 3: Adrien Allain, France (11,815,000)
Chip leader Adrien Allain says he’s feeling as if he’s “living in a dream" by making it this far in the EPT Grand Final Main event.
Originally from Breton, Allain came to Monaco last Friday with his girlfriend Laura. She’s now had to head home, but is following his progress via the EPTLive stream. His best poker friend is Paul-Francois Tedeschi who finished 25th for 26,850.
Allain grew up in Rennes, Brittany, but now lives in London. He discovered poker in 2009 by winning €190 in an online cash game during an evening with friends. From then on, he developed a passion for the game and starting playing both online and live. He honed his game while he was convalescing after hand surgery.
Allain, who turns 30 next month, already has more than $1.6 million in live tournament winnings. He won WPT Amneville in 2011 for €336,133 and APT Macau in 2009 for the equivalent of $391,580. His best EPT result to date is fourth in the €2k NL at EPT7 Sanremo.
This season, he also cashed during three EPT festivals: Dublin, Prague and Barcelona. Allain took a photo of his chip bag at the end of Day 4 and then high-fived Italian player Iacobo Brandi who had been sitting next to him: Brandi entered Day 5 with the shortest stack, 226,000 and finished 28th for €22,740.
Seat 2: Pierre Calamusa, France (2,235,000)
Pierre Calamusa discovered poker while still a teenager. The son of a teacher, he started playing online and quickly turned home games into a significant hobby.
He made a few €50 online deposits and then manage to spin that up – in just six months – to some €20,000, a sum he used to pay his tuition fees at Toulouse Business School. However, a month after starting his studies he dropped out to focus on poker.
He’s had some dips in his career and, in 2011, lost his entire bankroll; However, a big win at the Parisian Aviation Club de France put him back in the saddle. Calamusa, a former Maison Du Bluff candidate, is now considered a rising star of the French poker scene. His live cashes include a fourth place at the FPS4 Cannes High Roller for €15,440 and 39th at the EPT12 Dublin Main Event in February for another €13,200.
Seat 1: Jimmy Guerrero, France (11,480,000)
Jimmy Guerrero, a former PokerStars Supernova, is mainly a cash game player, but also has some good results in multi-table tournaments and is a France Poker Series regular.
He was enjoying his deep run in the Main Event alongside girlfriend Thi Xoa Nguyen until she busted 14th. The couple met at a cash game table in 2012 and Guerrero was impressed because Nguyen had €5,000 in front of her. He thought: "I have to know this girl!" The pair are now engaged, and will be moving to London later this year in order to focus on playing cash games - at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino, former home of EPT London.
Guerrero only has one EPT Main Event cash to date: 76th at EPT100 in Barcelona for €13,900. His biggest live result before now was for €29,990 for a 30th place in the 2012 Partouche Poker Tour Grand Final in Cannes.

WPT Amneville and APT Macau champion Adrien Allain (11,815,000), and former PokerStars Supernova and cash game specialist Jimmy Guerrero (11,480,000), stand above a pack of four players all hovering around the two-million chip mark that includes Slovakian and EPT9 Player of the Year Jan Bendik, Toulouse Business School student turned poker pro Pierre Calamusa, €10 Spin & Go qualifier and the first ever EPT Main Event finalist from Kazakhstan Asan Umarov, and Israeli Oren Rosen, a SCOOP and Sunday Warm-Up title holder who won the $600 Turbo Event at 2016 PCA.
Each of these players will be guaranteed at least €170,950 in sixth-place prize money when play begins nearing the end of Level 30 with blinds at 50,000/100,000 with a 10,000 ante. However, there are some massive pay jumps leading up to the almost-seven-figure first-place prize.
EPTLive will feature a live stream with hole cards up, and PokerNews will follow along with the stream providing hand-for-hand coverage, from the call to shuffle up and deal, until a brand new EPT Grand Final champion is crowned.
It should be a day boiling over with hot poker action, so take cover, the 2016 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final Main Event final table is about to explode.
